Bats - help?
I'm struggling to get the bats to click. Help, please?
Are blue cards good to start? When should I empower? how often? How many assemblies should I be aiming for, and by what turn? Is there value in placing assemblies where there are no other players tokens/buildings to control map flow?
I feel like I'm trying to do too many things at once and either, I have no board presence (can't sustain my rule), I have no card draw, or I have no loyalists. Then, by mid-late game, I can't keep up with the other factions scoring.
The only time people seem to entreat me is when they are farly confident they can destroy my assemblies, then I lose the loyalist I gained :(
It probably doesn't help that I've almost always lost the trust of the table xD
I've read of others having success, so I think I'm missing a good strategy and just playing them awfully? I haven't struggled with any other faction quite like the bats.
