Centrlized Industry... seems Wensicia Corrino is way to OP

[lily40k]

This character makes it possible to build 2 buildings with upkeep of one, whats more important is that you often cant build 2 of the same in one village, so its double sweet.

It translates into huge advantage early game, not played multiplayer but is this as overpowered as i think or i'm missing something?

Imo she should have some more permanent debuff not just temporary +100% upkeep, which gets negated once you build the second one...

[Kolopaper]

You don't get upkeep of one, you pay the normal upkeep regardless of how many buildings you have built, but temporary 100% if you have one only.

She is very strong yes. When Corrino was released the double building feature(without temporary 100%) was faction trait, without councilors.

The reason you have double buildings, if because its way harder to expand with Corrino, due to high authority costs compared to other factions. It's the same reason you have more building slots.

MP wise, corrino is weak early game, but his late game hegemony is the best.

Not judging OP or not, but I haven't seen Corrino played without her. Considering Corrino authority penalty, she's like musthave to maximize profits from any resources/regions available.

[lily40k]

The only penalty is the 200% distance penalty right?

I'm not sure if other factions can do this but they could deploy 2 more bases which made it very nice to surround enemy and capture things cheaply... i think the 200% penalty is offset with that 3 base thing rather than the specialist... unless other factions can do that too.

[Ac1d_Bl4ck]

Good point about additional base. Though it's quite costly, 3000 solary is big offset in early as well. And by the time you are able to deploy it, there aren't that many trully convenient spaces. Sometimes I even had to deploy 2nd base next to my first one.

[lily40k]

why deploy next to your first base though? you are erasing one village for nothing and not gaining any distance discounts... i would simply not use it for such maps.

Agree the price is steep. I think the plan is to start peacefull not make any expensive units, and you wont have issue with money.

I finished campaign yesterday and last fight with Atredies i had all 3 basees deployed and maxed before they broke peace. Imo the AI is too foolish with it eagerly accepting peace while it could just rush and kill you right away. Especially if it owns the region before you.

[Ac1d_Bl4ck]

And I'm talking about multiplayer. And said "had to", because otherwise all good locations were taken and I wouldn't be able to protect the 2nd base. Won that match btw.

[lily40k]

nice, multiplayer is probably so different than campaign, is there any shortage of games? or you can find games anytime?

[Ac1d_Bl4ck]

Depends. There are high and low times, but generally it's possible to find a game with short waiting. They say you can realiably gather a game in official discord, but I'm not that social. Prefer to suck vs faceless oponents haha.

But eah, it's very different in dynamic with dynamic diplomacy and landsraaad turning tables. It's where the game trully shines.
