This is a brilliant TM video. Extremely thorough. I especially loved how you went through 3 or 4 start game scenarios and discussed the likely benefited factions. I'll be watching all your TM vids!
Geat video, thank you for the effort and some VERY good advice! -- BON2 can also be used to pass before the other players do, as you say, including the reasoning you mention, but also because of this: the anticipation of the opponents. They'll be expecting you'll take the cult action, but then you don't... So it's a tactical option, of course only to be made after considering the other bonus tiles, but the option exists. This is also valid for BON1, but, of course, not using the SPADE action would be very expensive. --- In a way, this is the same reasoning as with BON10 and the mermaids possible scoring via BON10 :)
I love your gameplay videos of terra mystica, i've learned alot from them i used to get about 120-140 against 3 ai opponents after watching your videos i've raised that to 140-170 (highest so far is 179 with the alchemists and really abusing the engineers at the eastern continent)
Thanks for the comment, Simon. Sounds like you're achieving some excellent scores. I've been playing less frequently on the app recently. Now TM is available on Board Game Arena, I've been playing it to death there. I enjoy live games against human opponents even though some of the expansions are not yet available on BGA. A major part of developing as a TM player is learning to anticipate your opponents' moves which is far more satisfying when playing against other experienced players. Still, the AI is great for learning how to play a new faction and I still haven't tried any of the expansion factions yet, so I must do that soon.
Is this real to make a testing on Juho Snellman a fan-make races from bbg variants forum? This would be interesting, develop the game and make your content unique.
BRILLIANT REALLY, gives a very good overview over choosing bonuscards.

Cool will you put out any videos when you play against humans on BGA?
I would certainly like to do that at some stage.
my copy didn't come with BON7 or BON 10. are those from an expansion?
Does BON 4 give a permanent shipping upgrade, or only +1 shipping for that turn?
The shipping upgrade is only for the round played whilst holding the tile. You also cannot use it for spades gained from cult bonuses.
I don't have BON 10. Does it come with an expansion pack?
Awesome video by the way, thanks!
BON 10 is included in the Terra Mystica mini-expansion sheet.

Great idea, thanks.
