That no explorer strat makes me think of that guys who hosted a couple of times on polychampions. I remember laughing as he tried to convince everyone that explorers were objectively bad. Don't get me wrong, explorers have severe diminishing returns, succumb to chance and often are overused. But the marginal benefit of the first good explorer is worth a huge lump sum of stars that is worth way more than the workshop 1 star per turn.
@@madamsthemasterful6580 I actually didn't lol I'm an engineer and learnt the term from friends in uni but I suppose it's indirectly the same thing. Fully agree with what you're saying too lol. That extra 1 star per turn they got from those central cities would have put them probably from like 10 -> 11 stars whereas an directed explorer would have probably revealed half of Justeeni's land

Spoiler:
Knight Chain has:
6 Riders - 6 * 3 = 18 Stars
6 Archers - 6 * 3 = 18 Stars
3 Catapults - 3 * 8 = 24 Stars
1 Warrior - 2 Stars
18 + 18 + 24 + 2 = 62 Stars

Look who did economics in school lol. Workshops also have diminishing utility. 3 -> 4 spt is a greater impact than 30 -> 31 spt etc.

Yo I love Polytopia!
Me too!
Why did you hit giant with Knight instead of staying on village? Cata would of had to kill the knight potentially vs hitting your giant.
