That note is really good even though it prevents you from producing units near the player it also save you from war with them.(unless they are willing to give the card back)
LOL - Can I please have the Stymie Card back? Why? Oh no reason.........................................
What a useful video, I'm gonna recommend this series to my players.
Thank you!
Thanks for doing these videos, huge TI3 fan and am enjoying the thorough change reviews. Keep it up!
My pleasure :)
Thank you very much! Your video really helped fasten up the beginning.of my game with the arborec!
Sarween Tools is simply essential for Arborec as fast as possible, because your combination of infantry production and being able to claim then produce makes getting two infantry at zero cost incredibly effective in the early spread. Take Technology unless you know another player has it and will definitely use it immediately.
Excellent explanation. I'll be playing this species next time for sure.
💚
Glad you found it useful.
Nice!
For the first technology upgrade you could´ve mentioned Sarween Tools. It´s an absolute No Brainer for the Arborec! :)
Absolutely :) I am trying to give people a head start with their race rather than go into a lot of details in these videos, but I agree, Sarween is good for most races as a first/early tech and very much the case for these dudes.
By building the Sarween tools you would also have the prerequisites for the upgraded PDS.
How do they get money early? take planets?
Yeah, pretty much!
Just played a test 2 player variant game without realising my infantry could produce... Oof
Not sure if you will see this comment, but something happened to the video quality on some of these videos. At least on my end, not able to see anything and there's just green and blue streaks on the screen.
Plays fine for me
I think one mistake you did make in this video was stating that Nestphar is one of the better home systems in the game, a 3/2 planet is not statistically very good in comparison to what the other races get, I can only think of maybe 2 or 3 other races that might have worse home systems.
You may be right. I like resources!
Could the Nekro Virus steal the letani warrior 2 tech ?
Yes, that is why if you're arborec and a nekro is in the game the tech is basically off-limits.
@@DreadlordMik Actually don't think the Nekro can take unit type technology
I was under the impression they could If it was upgraded tech??
How else would they get the war sun or other unit upgrades??
@@RulebreakerBoardgames of course they can, they can steal any upgraded tech, including racial techs with their X and Y assimilators. That's why people should be afraid if there are sol/arborecs in the same game as nekro.
These guys seem so OP
A lot of races can seem OP in different ways. I've seen Arborec totally wreck opponents in one game then get totally stifled in another.
They have a horrible start and to use their production properly they need a lot of resources, so they can gt stpped somewhat easily. But you're right, they can get really overwhelming.
In my game group they keep losing badly, they start slow and just can't seem to get the resources they need to really become powerful.. the "build while you move" trick seems nice, but Clan of Saar does that better. Also a very underwhelming flagship, it can't build and move in the same activation. One remark about Magen Def grid: you get a free round of shots *after* the bombardment phase. Which usually does not occur when you have a PDS. Ik guess you meant to say "invaded" instead of bombarded?
@@RonnyC555 If you get warfare t1 you can take 3 system first round not slow imo
@@racoonboyo4607 "If" indeed, most races can do that if they are lucky enough to get that card. I have yet to play them myself to be honest, will do so in the future.
Arborec strategy: don't play them.
Andrew King what is actually so bad about them? To me they seem very cool and good.
@@andelknijft7030 Everyone gangs up on you real quick heh.
@@andelknijft7030 their start is to slow. hard to expand and their home planet is not good enough. early they can't get enough resources to use the production of their ground forces. Later they get better but i think there are better races
