Also consider these:
- Map analysis with the build order (Forge FE on Cloud Kingdom is different than Forge FE on Ohana for instance)
- Talk about unit compositions and how to effectively use them to raid bases, flank, multi-pronged attacks, setting up defensively, etc.
Thanks a lot for your feedback, looks like the episode ended up being 25 minutes, and hopefully with a deeper (more in-depth topic) we can cover more. Was the beginning enjoyable? Where we talked about the metagame and some cool builds we have seen that we may cover in the future? Anything else we should talk about outside of the builds specifically?
We'll work hard to make the next episode hopefully longer and have more content!
Episode 2 coming up in 30 minutes (7pm PST /// 10pm EST) will cover the Forge Fast Expand and will feature more content! Hope you guys come check it out and enjoy / give feedback!
