Thanks for continuing to create content. I hope that the game gets a bit of a boost upon future expansion release, especially as they are now dealing with the major bugs.
Thanks man, I appreciate it! There is a huge bug-fix and quality of life patch coming in the near future that is getting beta tested right now. And then, they will also release a new expansion next year, both in the steam version and for the actual boardgame, so I am very hopeful for the game's future :)
Off the top of my head some good tips I can think of. Ecoline: you want to get some heat production. Going all in on plants will serve you well into the mid game but then the O2 is maxed, the heat track is going nowhere and the engine players have the cash to play Loci and and SP cities all day to capitalize on your greeneries while you are still broke because you live on a TR economy. UNMI: try to get a passive way to get TR so you are not reliant on event cards each Generation to use your Corp. Getting 8 heat production (or energy production) makes life so much easier. Valley Trust: almost always grab a good late game plant card in your opener like Trees, Farming or Kelp. It's more common than you think to draw ecoexperts as one of your 3 extra preludes. Even something like Bushes or Alge is valid to play with ecoexperts. With that said these were probably cards you were going to take anyway. Inventrix: think long and hard before you take them if you don't have much in the way of economic development. It's a good chance your extra 3 cards will not bail you out if your opening hand is weak. You want to avoid the biggest Inventrix problem of having all the cards in hand but no money to play them.
These tips are great, thanks a lot for sharing them! I debated long and hard about which tip I wanted to give with Ecoline, because the one you gave is extremely important as well.
I'm enjoying your content. Although I do notice when you make a video like this it kind of has a lot of "noise" for anyone who is only playing this game online. I wonder if splitting video's like this into two sections which is online corporations and the rest.

Eventually, the online game will have all corporations, but I see where you're coming from. I will think about it for upcoming videos :)
