    I thought the N'orr were amazing when I looked at them, but I'm noticing a stealth nerf now: almost zero combat objectives in the game. Meanwhile about one-third of them are tech related that roughly require you to have 6 different techs. That's bad news when you start with zero compared to everyone's 2.

    Well, it's more like a little less than half of the factions that start with two or more techs; the rest start with one, excepting the N'orr's zero. The N'orr's aggressive capacities could be useful for gaining enough control to take the other, non-tech objectives, though!

    @MrBody, strategy card selection starts with you.

    I'm not seeing any of the "hold 6 planets of X type" objectives happening with this map, no matter how good at combat someone is.

    I nominate Naalu for speaker!

    We suppose that's a thing.
    What would the L1z1x consider worth passing us the Speaker's mantle?

    We have selected Politics because we are tired of having the strategy cards we really want selected before us. So the price to make someone else Speaker would be...exorbitant.

    We would assume we could come to an arrangement where your choice for the round could be preserved...

    My action is up right after this again right?

    Pick Construction.

    If it is my action and I'm not being silly, Activate Construction and build a space dock and a PDS on Starpoint.

    Activate the Saudor system and move my war sun 4 fighters and 2 ground troops in move my carrier and 2 fighters 2 ground troops in as that adjacent dreadnought does not appear to be going anywhere.

    Play Politics. Make myself the Speaker. @MrBlarney to give the L1z1x two action cards and the top 2 agendas.

    @discrider @Phyphor @Lykouragh @jakobagger @MrBody to play or pass on the Politics secondary (one strategy token for 2 action cards).

    Yeah, sorry for any confusion. It's my usual MO to have an update directly at the start of the Action Phase; I'll have all of the stuff in the current Action Phase in the next update.

    L1z1x draws 2 cards from the Agenda deck, returning one on top and one on the bottom.
