Thanks for the videos. Always enjoy hearing your thoughts. I love the builder strategy as well. I think the combo nature of it makes you feel so “smart” when you take a lot of actions in a single turn. I’ve never been a big fan of the builders with 10a. When I see 10b available, I like rushing it a lot more. Getting money instantly is nice and moving the train actually makes your deliveries get you a lot of money.
Brilliant video, thanks! Just one question: is it possible to consider a third choice for the builder strategy that is aiming to put down as many buildings as possible while maximizing the points made from the buildings?
Well thanks! I wouldn't say so, not really. A lot of the buildings aren't very good, they're stepping stones towards something better. Spamming buildings is almost always about spamming the free steps and the taxing ones, and upgrading is more efficient action-wise than playing many mid level buildings
@@UpUrPlay I see. I've noticed when i go for this strategy and someone else go for cowboys always he score really lot of points with cows while I score too few points with buildings. But especially if you make many deliveries you are forced to lose many points by delivering to kansas city. 2/3 deliveries to kc equals 12/18 points less at the end of the game. That's not a few!
I've seen the three videos you have made on cowboy, builder and engineer. My problem is choosing the best strategy based on the setup - placement of neutral buildings and which building are available. Any chance you will make a video about how to pick the best approach?
Hi! Mario can explain better, but when you go builders you typically decide to go "tall, then wide" or "wide, then tall". "Tall, then wide" means you focus on building the highest tier/best building you can first, then build other stuff after "Wide, then tall" is the opposite, you decide to put out several smaller buildings (often ones with black and green taxers) and then work up to a big building later in the game. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video. I enjoyed your building analysis series and have been hoping to hear more of your thoughts on the GWT advanced buildings.
And you will! Now that I've provided a proper frame for the Builders strat, I'm gonna finish the videos on the single personal buildings ;)
@@UpUrPlay I am very excited by this news

...Maybe? I fear it would be a bit too narrow, and I hint at things in the setup make a strategy good in each single strat video
Thanks! A question about 'tall' and 'wide'? What does that refer to? Thanks for your insights!
