@iain@ohai.social The EU generally benefits from less direct conflict. But can and will answer the call. As my last game taught me. I’m considering the expansion that adds bots. Although to be fair the two player game is fine as is. It’s not as long as a full four player game. The games main flaw. I’ve not played Hegemony (it’s two player experience makes it not worth the investment) but if I ever see it at a games night or Con I’d give it a try.
