I found Winnu very slow to start. With only one ship with capacity, it an opponent has Warfare, they will likely delay it's use so you will either have to waste actions to wait to use the secondary OR have to build in your home system normally and not be able to move out. Also, be very careful of Mahact players, as they will enjoy using your Commander's ability against you. My playgroup considers their Hero ability a huge threat, thus tries to keep Winnu at least 2 VP lower than other factions.
Thanks so much! :-) It was a bit surreal hearing my name. Hahaha. :-) I think one of the highest compliments I can give on these, is pretty much regardless of the faction, after watching one it makes me want to use them again or try them for the first time. :-) I think the enthusiasm, research, and being so thorough comes through in waves, and wanted to say thank you for making such great content. :-)
Sarween Tools into AI Dev also puts you on the path to building Warsuns and with your agent your maximum cost will come out to 9 resources. Which is something to be aware of when it comes to defending Mechatol
The Winnu are the case study for what Dane Beltrami hoped to accomplish with a TI expansion- augment the weaker factions (and Winnu were among the poorest-performing factions in the base game) while maintaining a central theme throughout their identity. I think Dane hit the mark (mostly), and the Winnu now have some very useful & thematic tools that make them the "Mecatol Rex rush" faction. Loved this video, so thank you. Keep 'em coming, Kaptain! 🖖
I was able to win using the hero. We all unlocked our heroes during the same round and no one asked what each other’s heroes could do and I saved it til it could win me the game. I was also able to hold MR for multiple rounds.
I always enjoy your videos. Thanks for posting these. I agree that these guys are sort of ho hum for me. They are okay, but not at the top of my list for choosing them in any individual game. If you could, can you do The Yssaril tribes next? Thanks and keep them coming.
You’re very welcome, and thank you. I’ll be sure to get them in the release list. I’ll comment again when I know the release date for sure and I’ll give you a shout out for the request of course. Stay tuned!
Great video! Many thanks! Actually, sad to see that all factions of TI4 are now covered, because I loved to watch all of your videos and since I’m only in to TI4 other videos are of no interest to me. 😁 Question: As I understood from other sources, ability of Winnu allows them to use production of the space dock that was just placed on the Mecatol. If it’s so, then could the Mech placed space dock do the same: produce units in the just placed space dock? 🥴 Thanks!
I do not believe that would work as the ability to place a free space dock says that it happens after the tactical action that you used to take Mecatol Rex, so you would no longer be able to build this turn. I do hope you stick around and check out some other games, you may find something else that you love.
Used to be a big fan of this channel but nothing you've reviewed the past year has been of any interest to me. Sorry but im going to have to Unsubscribe.

Great points all around. Pinned!

That is a very good point!

Indeed! Only a few more to go! :)🖖
Hegemonic Trade Policy only lasts until the end of your turn so it won't help you score that secret
You are correct, my mistake.
I was able to win using the hero. We all unlocked our heroes during the same round and no one asked what each other’s heroes could do and I saved it til it could win me the game. I was also able to hold MR for multiple rounds.
Very nice and well done!
Why would taking Leadership round1 guarantee taking warfare round 2? Don't you mean Politics to claim the Speaker token? Great vids!
Indeed, I misspoke on that. You are correct. Thanks very much. :)
Hegemonic trade policy dont work with Establish Hegemony. Trade policy i stopping to work on your turn. While obj is fulfilled in status phase.
Good point, thank you.

I got the episode filmed and edited, it will be published on October 14th. Stay tuned! :)

I’m sorry to hear, but thanks for letting me know. If I may ask, what sort of games/videos did you like that I don’t do enough of anymore?
