Advanced Advancement

Fridan 566

This is my take on the exciting new Weyland ID. I've hardly ever played Weyland in the past, but Titan and all of the new toys from Order and Chaos make me want to give it a go.

The main point here was to go all in on agenda counters to make the most of the ID and the synergy with firmware updates led me down the route of advanceable ice. The set up of Firmware Updates, Constellation Protocol, Trick of the light and all that ice leads to all sorts of janky shenanagains.

Econ wise, I'm hoping Errand Boy and Builder will do some good work. Commercialization is a no brainer and Mark Yale paired up with some of the agendas can lead to some massive cash swings.

I've gone for Restoring Face over Elizabeth Mills, partly because Titan can afford the extra influence and also because Mark Yale makes an ideal target for it. Click 1 & 2 gain 16c from Geothermal click 3 clear the bad pub is a pretty nice turn.

I'm thinking Searchlight is a good target for spare advancement tokens. Yes, it's easily broken at 3 strength, but a well placed Wormhole or Orion could do wonders with a big trace to enable the scorch win.

Would love to hear some feedback as I'm sure this could do with plenty of refinement from more experienced players.

I like the thought. Perhaps consider swapping a couple hostile takeovers with a H3 deposit and freeing up a slot for the third scorch or hedge fund? This might get more milage out of your other agendas with a bit more flexibility when you need cash or a card or even to advance ice.
