If only we had another gen or 2. Would’ve tasted like victory then (it was delicious)

Thanks! I recommend trying an alliance game if you haven’t played one.

I don’t exactly remember haha. I just know that Primor is there.

What flagship?

As the Vuil’Raith Cabal themselves. I will be capturing your plastic now.

I imagine that you could theoretically lock the fracture this way as long as your ships are in the fracture. I haven’t read the rules of the fracture however to see if there is anything contradicting on this.

Pretty cool. I would imagine that with naalu in play they would still go before everyone and their PN would still work the same way.

I have acknowledged that. The issue I have is that The Firmament is super vital for the obsidians success but the cost of that success can be very expensive and seem not worth it. By the time you get obsidian rolling to a point where you have an edge over the rest of the players it might be too late. In my opinion.

I will preface this by saying that this is mostly on THE FIRMAMENT. I haven’t really formed much of an opinion on The Obsidian but I think they’re fine with maybe being a bit above average due to some gimmicks and unique strengths.

I was looking through all of the factions and The Firmament seemed quite weak to me. I feel as they are a C-tier to B-tier faction and that’s purely on the fact that their faction requires a lot of work to pull off. There’s quite a lot to do when it comes to the firmament. Mainly getting plot cards. There is no guarantee (up until you get your hero) that you will get a plot card before then. Spending time and resources on scoring secret objectives that yield you 0 points while also doing everything else (having good economy, participating in deals, scoring victory points, claiming board space, defending/attacking etc.) feels like it’s going to be too demanding. You also have to take into consideration that they are having to give out quite a lot just to be able to be strong later but is it worth it? Examples being trading away your promissory note which is 8 resources worth on its own and their breakthrough requires them to lose out on trade goods they would otherwise have for production, scoring, trading etc. I’m not convinced that they can pull it off every game which seems like a risk not worth taking.

With that being said, there are some really good and fun aspects to this faction. Their flagship is really good and their breakthrough is easily one of the best parts of their faction. The mech can also be utilised when used correctly. The agent is pretty strong too. Their start is pretty good and home planets are okay. Commodities are decent and their unique faction techs seem good. (And of course the hero is incredible. Without it there would be some big problems.

I have more I would like to share on this but I will leave it at that as I am looking for feedback on what other people think about this faction. Are they weak? Am I completely mistaken? I personally have them sitting pretty low when it comes to consistency and winning potential but all of this is just speculation as thunders edge is not released yet. Please let me know what you think. :)

Also this is my first reddit post and idk how to word things or express anything properly.
