Hey, rare footage of Selas playing 2ers! He continues to have a real impressive record on this channel...
This game came down to me getting screwed every which way on the power plant market, with 25 not dropping after 20 being the final insult. Feel like 22 went for a fair price, then stuff like 19 & 23 kept coming in.
That being said, i also messed up the starting build quite badly - Fulda seemed like the most obvious central city, but this game shows precisely how you counter that. Kassel would've been my better pick since i can jump east and/or south. Quite rare that a city in a "corner" region is your first build in 2P, which is why i really like this map setup!
Oh yeah, and i also kept the 11 running too long. Probably should've stopped once i drove uranium up to $12 or $14 for Selas's 28.
