Most Insane Lines

Post by Lytical »

I just had the most insane line for ecoline, can you check it out and see if you would play it differently? B/c I think I just stumbled into a perfect line: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=862373533

What makes this one cool is that the opponent also was running an incredible line(he had early AI, elevator, earth cat etc...), but mine just too pure, it was just a really cool interaction.

Giant Space Mirror for passive heat was money perfect for the tempo.

You know sometimes you just run into crazy lines in your game? What's your most insane run or line? I am talking about perfections. A game everything just fall into place and there is zero percent body fat.

Yea crazy draws, and your poor opponent didn't know how to cut your cards. Insects and Optimal Aerobraking are such power cards. I was surprised you didnt buy virus, even when you have protected habitats and could still afford all your gen 1 plays. It basically an always buy for me, but looking at the game even that 3 mc loss would of slowed your snowball down enough to make it not worth it. Micro mills, however was worth considering as it goes well with huge asteroid, and then you could potential skip the giant space mirror. I stopped viewing after insects went down gen 6, but it was GG at that point. Nice plays

Gen 4 I was surprised decomposers got passed back and forth.

Should I be buying and playing cards such as archaebacteria and imported GHG early? They always seemed like mediocre cards to me. With imported GHG and advanced GHG I try to wait for discounts and rebated, such as optimal aero.

So frank this is actually kinda old school, but back then at the discord we discussed how some of the one prod card's inefficiency. And also how multi prod and city preludes are bad. The real discussion is loooong jay probably can explain it better.

So this none virus play is exclusive for this account bc I am playing a style that is "pure," engine like and unnatural. The basic idea is that if I am rushing i don't slow you down by hitting your plants or taking away your prod or resources. The result are games like this, when things line up they really line up.

In this style some analysis showed that THORGATE is ranked 2nd among all corps base + prelude behind big daddy credicor. That's why in earlier thread I said it was a thorgate line. The corp is that powerful.

I have always liked Thorgate; I never could figure out why it was considered such a bad corporation.

Oh you have to watch the sequence after the insects drop, EVERYTHING all the numbers clicked together, and it was money perfect 2, it was soooo sick, and see how I get through a dry river with only one ocean spot. You will love it, especially the grand finale, it was a coup de grâce.

My ecoline's🔋filled up and I dropped the super on him.

WHen did you draw the Point Luna nuts the last time? Gen 5 i played 12 earth tags and they just kept coming! It's fun when you're not on the receiving end.

Certainly made mistakes, overkept, but it went up quite well with gen 2 and gen 4 income prod cards

That's so nasty, it's always a good time on planet Point Luna.
