Patriotic Polania imba

[Funchoza]

It is very easy to win as patriotic Polania. I played vs 4 hard AI and won easily with large score advantage. btw I win rare vs 4 hard AI with different combination)

What sequence of moves did you use? I do not find the combo too strong, but I find the AI too easy, even on Hard.

Farming food/wood gives large amount of pop and power at the start. Then very cheap modifications with only 2 oil and only 1 metal mech after it)

For the most part, Patriotic is the most powerful mat in the game. It is ESPECIALLY ridiculous in the hands of a Crimea/yellow player. To the point that in the hands of a player who knows what they're doing, it's pretty much unbeatable. You can just turtle on your starting area and achieve a ton of bottom actions, stars, and money collecting before spreading out later on.

Here's a detailed breakdown of all the mat/faction combinations.

I have no idea why Rusviet/industrial is the only combo that has an option to ban. It's a fairly widespread opinion that Crimea/patriotic is even more overpowered. The Rusviets can at least be messed with by other players, while there's really nothing you can do against the turtling Crimeans.

Crimea in general seems overpowered, but with Patriotic it is especially bad.
