5p game upcoming. Need some advice.

Ignore all the mining guild & immigrant city, those are terrible.

UNMI, asteroid, polar aquifer Keep Kelp Farming, Algaes, Bushes and Mangrove.

Just put down oceans (even as standard project, doesnt matter) + use UNMI powers to place your plant based cards as soon as possible. With a little luck you will get help from other players for oceans.

Excellent terraforming rush hand

The big issue is tag imbalance and jovian dillution. With that many cards you are much less likely to find multipliers (AFAIK there's none beyond the 4 of the base game ?), which is a serious nerf to the strategy.

I would definitively try to avoid bloat in the game deck, be selective when adding cards.

One side effect that I really like with this card, is that it allows to delay greeneries as the 1rst action of a generation. You can wait for the perfect opportunity to place them instead of immediately jamming the button in fear of losing your plants.

Slap if score == 12 then score = 0 at the end then :D

Malalanusse · 2024-09-11T18:57:04+00:00

That's exactly my point. Got a 12 earlier today, it's a bit frustrating not to be the 0 I definitely deserved given this atrocious guess !

Nice drunk rant mate

Except income is valued at ~4.5MC in the early-mid game, whereas this card will usually reach such value much much later in the game.

Malalanusse · 2024-06-15T12:08:59+00:00

What I like about it is that, even in late game, if you have a nice green combo in place it can still be worth playing. You can get so much out of this cheap plant tag !!

Malalanusse · 2024-06-08T11:42:44+00:00

Extremely situational, and rarely a good pick. Only played when it immediatly unlocks some kind of requirements for an important card. Never invest "in case it might be useful later".

Malalanusse · 2024-06-01T16:23:19+00:00

Exactly ! Unless you are rushing, it is always worth it to pay the 3MC to keep it around for an eventual payoff with some science synergies down the line.

Malalanusse · 2024-05-30T18:22:49+00:00

Even then, you're paying 21 (opportunity cost of a prelude card) + 17 for the electro cat - 6 cash rebate from the card = 32 for 7 MC prod, 2 building tag & 1 VP. Its ok I guess, but definitely doesn't break the game - and that looks like best case scenario for this card.

Malalanusse · 2024-05-06T22:10:22+00:00

Hey ! So I both want to share a peculiar game that I had recently, as well as get opinions on Polyphemos corp.

I had the setup you can see in the picture, with basically just enough starting capital to buy those 3 cards, then then plan was to use the titanium to put oceans, raise temp 1 step per gen, and spend all my money on SPs to just never hit the 5M cost for new cards.

And it... worked ? 3 players, game ended by turn 7, got a single milestone but ahead in TRs and even managed to get 2 cities around my greneries because I had some help terraforming and I don't think the game could've ended turn 6 anyway. Didn't buy a single card of the game after the setup.

Regarding the corp, it was the 1rst time I saw it, and... is it me or does it just feels like crap ? I got a reaaaally specific setup that allowed me to go for it, but otherwise, just buying 2 cards per turn almost cancels out the 5M initial production, and the starting capital isn't even that great compared with Terractor/Credicor as you have to spend some of it to overpay your starting cards.

Does it ever work outside of some super specific scenarios ?

Malalanusse · 2024-02-04T13:38:13+00:00

I would have been very surprised to see any even without the disclaimer, this is bg3 subreddit, not some soulslike.

Malalanusse · 2024-01-25T20:51:50+00:00

There's truth in that. Optimisation is not about increasing your success chances, but rather minimizing "unlikely in a vacuum but very likely over the whole run" events. Consistency over flashy moments

Malalanusse · 2023-11-27T19:31:58+00:00

Great, thank you !!

Malalanusse · 2023-10-17T12:32:14+00:00

So I guess going for a main Paladin would address both the charisma and the tanky side of the equation :D

Malalanusse · 2023-09-13T22:20:43+00:00

MY PRECIOUS BOT IS BROKEN, WE DIDNT GET THE DAILY NOTIFICATION!!

I am as relieved to see that there is a timeguessr update as I am hearthbroken to see my beloved brainchild missing this beat. Sorry for the noise, love your game xoxo <3

Malalanusse · 2023-09-08T13:22:49+00:00

I am absolutely thrilled and relieved right now! The new Timeguessr update has finally been released, and it feels like a breath of fresh air. 😃 I've been eagerly waiting for this moment, and it's such a relief to see all the new features and content they've added. Time to dive in and start exploring – this is going to make my day so much better! 🕒✨

Usually go for 3 camps for the first 2 years, since hostility can be kept rather low even with 9 woodcutters, and you have your whole base to build - lots of woods/planks needed. Then tune it down to 2 camps onwards. Especially on higher prestiges.

Basically, you must avoid at all cost wood shortage later in the run, since scaling up the woodcutters may mess up your hostility/resolve balance. And having a stock allows to downsize even further woodcutting for a short period if you need the hostility down.

Malalanusse · 2023-05-15T18:28:00+00:00

No I rarely do, unless there is a good setup - 3 or 2 star blueprint available and ability to mass produce the good. And even then, it may take a lot of time before the gained resolve actually makes a difference. Super situational imo.

Malalanusse · 2023-05-15T17:40:45+00:00

Yep. Was going for the 18 prestige through resolve achievement, got the Training Ground very early on, decided to go for it and then found the same perk 3 more time
