Another game with a big early market, and i adapted to it much better than in my previous game! Getting the 34 in Step 1 is a dream, especially on Germany.
Again, it was the endgame where i blew what should've been a win. Had thought Step 3 would only last 1 turn, but didn't think about whether i could afford to end the game on that turn. Had i planned it out more in advance, i would not have bought a plant at all that turn. Getting 36 would take me to 16 capacity, and i may have been able to end the game then.
num3n again played well here, landing the 30 plant in Step 1 when they didn't need to use it for a little while. It came pretty cheap too, and trash only got better as the game went on. They also succumbed to a crucial endgame mistake though...
The ending was inexcusable on my part, and a sign i should probably take a short break from this game!
