This race draft is much more interesting than our previous ones, especially as many of the popular/power races from previous games are no longer in the mix, I'm curious as to what I'll end up with!

I'm very curious to see what you can make happen with them. They're still the race I've had the most fun with in TI4, though it didn't go so well last time.

I played them once a few years ago and ended the game with 2 points... so me too ^_^

And I just realized what one of my racial techs is and I have the Nekro right next to me. Brilliant choice there Scott.

Letani Warrior 2 isn't mandatory for Arborec the way, say, Carrier 2 is for Sol or SuperDread 2 is for L1z1x. You can easily go a whole game without researching Letani 2, just build even more Letani 1's.

Well those two were my other choices I was looking at. I've had a could of Winnu games under my belt and I wanted to give the insects a try.

Had I the option I suspect I would have combined #5 and Arborec. That’s a perfect match I think.

Though I also think the Arborec are much stronger than BGG believes.

Yeah number 5 is a great position with the right race... If you were stuck with the wrong race it would be awful... Hence why i didn't take it in the end.

And yeah I think people will surprise you with their picks. In my view 9 player changes which races are better/worse, every strategy card being picked each round alone makes a huge difference to games.

Even just starting with the Speaker at #7 I'd say makes #5 + Arborec a bad combo. Arborec's first round is already terribly slow since you only get 1 carrier and 3 HW resources.

Xxcha and #5 could be another good combo there. With their Diplomacy SC ability you can still nab the 4-resource planet on round 1 despite the nebula/distance.

#3 and Creuss would've also been very good, I think. Lodor is in the perfect spot to keep giving them the Slipstream movement bonus, jumping straight to Daemon and beyond, plus Creuss can benefit a lot from the extra CTs that Arinam/Meer would give.

#4 and Sardakk seems strong since it's so high in resources and gives a lot of access to tech skips.

Interesting. With Arinam/Meer you should have no shortage of CTs to power your CT-costing abilities. And with Lodor right there you could be a right pain and plop your flagship in the wormhole nexus :whistle:

I think 3 is the perfect winnu spot, if creuss weren't in the game!

That reminds me, I definitely forgot to include Mallice on the map, will have to add that tonight when I'm getting everything ready for Tapper/Drek to keep the game running while I'm away!
