Hegemony tips and trick
Tips and trick to play every class in hegemony
First of whats Hegemony: Lead Your Class to Victory?
its an Asymmetric games where players have different roles, abilities, objectives which makes it more replayable because playing a different class feels like playing a different game
First and foremost i would discuss about working class Your only point of winning is prosperity Buying and using goods is your bread and butter with that said money is needed to buy stuff so high wages 2a is really important but its also depends on your opponent and who are you playing with Its not over yet if they manage to keep it on 2c dont be too focussed on it You can still win even with low wages With free health care 4a Or free education 5a Just keep buying and using goods
Then there are middle class Middle class are the hardest class in the game because they are not equipped with action to fight like the working class They are equipped with the capitalist action and thats the good thing middle class dont really care about the policies
The first tips for middle class is although you can get vp for prosperity just like working class you can also get vp from your goods and money like capitalist
Every round your prosperity will be going down 2 instead of 1 but in return you will get 1 prosperity for free if the number of companies that has 2 workers is lower than your current level of prosperity So capitalize on that
Do not buy too many things Items in your storage counts as vp But item in the personal inventory do not And you can only use items from your personal inventory not storage
Your biggest weapon is extra shift Its an action that no other class have Abuse this extra shift on a companies without working class on it is free You also get vp for selling on the foreign market and remember at the end of the game you get 1 vp per 15 money That end game items and point can be big enough to propel you 1 position foward
Do not be afraid of populations If your food production suffice Use it as an advantage
There is two ways to win with middle class wc way or cc way its all depends on the card in your hand if you get the card that let you buy storage do cc way produce alot of things If until round 3 you didnt get any scrap that method and go to wc way Buying and using you want to win using prosperity stop extra shift and selling because its a waste of action at this point just focus on buying and using like working class
Third is capitalist Your money is vp nuff said Cant say this enough Dont get too focused on selling I know you need money But most of the time controlling the policies to reduce the amount youre spending is more worth it like reducing wage to 2c and reducing the tax to 3c Only sell when your storage cant handle it anymore
Bussiness deals most of the time is a waste of action you can survive on 0 bussiness deals thats why 6a is actually good for capitalist
Youre basically screwed and lose the game if you dont have 350 money at the end of round 4 the game is decided on round 1 control the policy it affect you the most
Remember youre a kapitalis you win by making others suffer if the other class is too prosper youre the one whos going to suffer
And lastly we have the state This is by far the easiest class to win And because of that is the most rng class in here your vp will be decided by your hands and your events because there are good events or a bad events
Youre basically trading your money with vp for this class because there are events That gain you vp for how much money youre spending
Tips and trick for this class
- do every event there are penalty if youre not doing it there is no action worth the penalty
- choose vp rather than legitimacy Its instant vp always choose instant vp rather than legitimacy in special cases if its a white shield you can take that reward instead of vp depends on the situation
- prioritize to play card that give white shield discard the rest for basic action
- free healthcare 4a and free education 5a is a good source of legitimacy utilize it
- imf isnt the end of the world youre not losing vp because of imf rushing vp and white shield is sometimes more important than avoiding imf
