Is having 2 factories really neccesary?

[Jaeger]

I hate the look of a deck with no industrial cards, but tbh I make mills/plantations 10 times as often as I go industrial. Isn't it better to just have mill/plantation upgrades?

no

Noif you expect the game not to reach age4. Then again 25 slots are enough to squeeze the 2 factories, especially since there is limit of 10 for each age.

If the game goes to age IV and your opponent has two factories and you don''t then it''s game, right there.

True, but if one player is far enough ahead to age up and not die then he would probably win anyway.

Yes it's necessary to have 2 factories. It's quite risky not to have them, especially in a 25 card deck.

[_H2O]

how often have you sent them. should answer question. the last few cards dont really matter though

For me theyre the type of card you barely ever need, but you will regret not having when you do need them... Kinda like 2 heavy cannons. I ussually include them cuz like garja says, 10 per age so usually you have only like 21-23 cards in age 1 to 3.

[Garja]

2 cannons pretty useless tho.

Not really, its just only useful in very limited situations which barely ever happen :p but as i said somtimes it does happen and u wish u had heavy cannons. But ye i would drop cannons before factories. Sometimes u can make a nice timing push with them tho
