Yeah, I've gotten better about going to Conspire but I still often don't want to do it. The Spice to Solari return is so much worse, but sometimes it is the best option.
@@bludgeontv I've learned to like it by thinking of it as a triple reward - Solari plus troops plus Intrigue card. It feels like better value to me when I think about it contributing to goals in three areas.
**** Spoiler Warning **** Disappointing that the baron was such a bad ai. The drop of 5 troops should have happened, and then at least 2 more. Baron takes the combat, Jasper takes 2nd and you come in 1st on the tie breaker. The game ended up being much closer than I anticipated considering what a great start Jasper had! I know the rules, I know the strategies - I just can't wrap my head around how they come together to win a game!
Conspire is a good backup when you’re blocked from Sell Melange. Leaning into the water advantage is kinda the only way to go with Ariana too.

It was interesting watching the game from your POV! I had a blast! Hope to play against you again sometime.
Well played!
Any other Stormlight fans kind of freak out when they say the name Taravangian?
With that name you can just blame your losses on 'dumb day' :D
@danielb4480 Gotta pray you play him on a dumb day. Not only would he not make good moves, but he might be so empathetic that he just let's you win 😂
Sylvain is such a gamer 😊

The AI can definitely mess things up sometimes. As for winning, keep at it! I'm feeling that way myself right now with Rise of Ix.
without the broken AI you might have won, why would the baron ever hold two troops back
Yeah, looks like I would have won on the tiebreaker if the Baron AI had put all its troops in.
