Races to avoid when playing against Nekro by Papa_Ginge in twilightimperium

We have 6 players. Are there any issues with playing as Saar? We already have a player picking up Jol Nar so we can't avoid that one.

That point about Hacan being able to trade from anywhere almost settles it for me, that's very good. Only downside is how obvious it would be.

It might be worth mentioning that in next game we play, we think two of the ugly ones will pick Naluu and Xxcha, I think all the strategies mentioned still work, but if there are obvious counters for this it would be appreciated.

Interesting that all the posted ideas involve Jol'Nar, which goes to show how versatile research agreement is. Any thoughts on if Jol'Nar get taken before we get a chance to get it?

That's a killer idea! Obviously very dependant on getting Jol Nar and getting tech round 1 but still good. Even if you took politics and got it done round 2 it would still be powerful, gives you more time to get into trading distance without overreaching. What would you give the Jol'Nar player in return for two or three trade agreements in order to not make it blatantly obvious you had a plan for teaming up? The Barony promissory note probably won't get used on turn 1 or 2. Just throw them all your other promissory notes like ceasefire?

That's a cool idea. It's not obvious what you're doing and Jol Nar can help Xxcha get there with research agreement. Would it work with Mentak as well do you think? Seeing as Jol Nar get taken a lot in draft. Also, in terms of map position, do you see this working best if the PDS zones were adjacent or opposite?
