24:00 has to be the biggest miss play I’ve seen on the channel so far. Both firemen spots are open and both opponents revealed already you go to either fremen spot win a victory with 1 troop and save your top card that way too.
It definitely would have been a better play. I'm not sure I even considered it, I was really laser-focused on trying to get the best, leanest deck possible and that Piter was just too tempting.
At 43 mins in you missed the fact that getting the fremen alliance got you the water you needed idk if it mattered but always keep those free bonuses in mind
Yep, I could've done that. I decided that playing the Opulence was more important. Theoretically I could've done both by doing Signet Ring->Kwisatz Haderach->Opulence->Gene Manipulation Instead of leading with the Diplomacy, but I wanted to block the Hardy Warriors ASAP. So many options, so many possible paths through the game!
@@bludgeontv I think I wouldve definietly Sell Melanged with Signet, get 6 solari, draw Kwisatz.then next turn use kwisatz do something with it. then next turn Gene Manipulation. get my 2 spice back that i spent on Sell Melange, and then reveal Opulence for an easy victory point, but thats just me, I dont have much experience with base Dune

True, sometimes I forget about that one!
Around 22, don't the fremen spaces also give deploy troops option?
Yeah you're right, not sure why that slipped my mind.
32:16 you could've use the ring to draw the Kwisatz > use kwisatz, then use gene manipulation

@@defox1998That's a pretty cool sequence - hadn't considered trying to score the Victory Point off the Opulence that round.
yup there were some points in the middle where I was saying this guy deserves to loose, but fair play the strat came good in the end
