Nice video, as always!
Couple comments based on what was said:
- Fremen could benefit from the crossplanet shipment to bring as many figthers as possible to the SH they can't easily reach
- The stalling victory condition is so boring but has the merit to exist..! Give the Spacing Guild a Bene Tleilaxu ally and you're in for a treat... They help the guild address their most glaring issues
- When the guild is in play, its best to think twice before sending troops on Arrakis cause you will make them rich.. It's also great to force fights with them early game to really kneecap them from the get go.

I believe that the Spacing Guild is incredibly strong, despise what Jack says (yeah their leaders are weak but, come on, they still get a 5 strenght leader!) . Their advanced ability is just so powerful and is the reason why they could easily steal a win if not stopped in the beginning.

This is a really good video, Thanks Jack.

I have a question about the deals the Spacing Guild could offer.

Is it against the rules for the Spacing guild to offer a discount to other factions on troops during shipment phase for certain benefits? And how much leverage does the spacing guild have over the shipment?

When the guild pays for the allies shipment, do they get the spice back? (like when the emperor pays for auctions for their allies and they get the spice back)

One of the Guild's leaders should've been called water seller instead of soo soo sook.

A What if: You got tasked with separating the Spacing Guild and the Smugglers into two different factions.

How would this change the Guild, and what would be the Smugglers' gimmick?

Let's say the Guild win on turn 10, but through the normal victory condition of hold 3 strongholds, can the Bene Gesserit predict that or nah?

When you ship back to reserves can you ship to other home worlds? Or even with the Cross shipment, can you ship to other home worlds?

Can the guild cross ship into the ixian mobile stronghold?
