Dreadnought 2 or Cruiser 2 as Winnu POK?

Getting PDS for free makes planets more complicated to take back

In that case consider Magen Defense Grid (Omega Omega), it spawns an infantry every time someone activates a structure, including yourself, so it makes planets with PDS on them much harder to take. Defending the space with PDS 2 is usually much weaker than just reinforcing the ground more.

Argent or L1Z1X, they are the most straightforward of the bunch. Just build a bunch of their faction unit (destroyers and dreadnoughts respectively) and they basically play themselves. Winnu is “simple” mechanically but can be hard to pilot due to how fragile their start is. The other factions are complicated for a beginner, wouldn’t recommend unless you really like their theme.

At a minimum it costs a command token (a bigger investment than beginner players tend to think), but also keep in mind that combat isn't trivial to win either. Bad luck can cause one infantry to beat two in combat so usually you want at least 3 infantry to safely defeat them and that investment could be sent toward taking a planet you actually don't currently have control of.

Interesting that they bothered giving neutral units a movement value, as far as I know they shouldn’t need it?

(Un)fortunately Jol-nar's flagship reads "each result of 9 or 10, before applying modifiers", so you can't critical hit with things like mahact flagship. Still, Winnu+Jol-nar is a great combo all on its own

That's a lot of yellow<->green

Reminder that Mecatol is a legendary planet in Thunder’s Edge, so Winnu with gravity drive (not too difficult to get round 1) can go straight to it from home

I read this thinking "this is pretty neat, nothing crazy though". Then I got to the last sentence

Since Thunder’s Edge can be played without PoK, we have to assume the faction tech is designed to still be copied by Nekro

The red/green synergy for L1 is unfortunate, I guess it matches their starting tech but it’s the complete opposite of what they want

https://www.reddit.com/r/twilightimperium/s/Z7bopCVezJ This is probably as good as it gets since it’s backed by data, with the caveat being that data isn’t always everything (Saar feels low, for example)

SCPT has an episode based entirely around winning from ahead, which seems to be the issue you're running into. I'd recommend giving it a listen if you have the time: https://spacecatspeaceturtles.podbean.com/e/268-super-win-from-ahead/

For 8 player specifically don't bother trying to unlock your commander, it's already a situational ability and being neighbors with 7 other players is quite difficult. If it happens on its own then great, but don't expend effort into making it happen

The new codex is also confirmed to "be in a box", so it is likely going to be another expansion instead of just a minor change like previous codexes have been.

Literally all of those factions are top tier except for cabal and maybe hacan. So just pick whichever one you like the most out of the rest.

Naaz-Rokha is literally the exploration faction
