I played the giants in a 3p game against the swarmlings and witches and had the 2 worker bonus card in the first round and built the stronghold and still lost to the swarmlings by more than 10 points. Did not upgrade workers to spades conversion and only converted workers to one spade once in the game. Had 14 buildings at the end, could have had 15. I terraformed 6 times by the special action, once by using the two spade power action once by the one spade power action once by a round end bonus and reached at least another 4 neigbour red spaces (upgaded shipping to two spaces). I struggled with getting power though despite using VPs many times to get it whereas the swarmlings player developed to trading houses and had no problem getting enough power. I also struggled to get enough workers and developed only to two temples. So the way I played terraforming was not a problem, I probably made other mistakes and/or simply the swarmlings player just played better. (I played my first game as a 5p game with the swarmlings and won against the witches, chaos magicians, alchemists and dwarves.)↧
