14:50 - I know this has been mentioned before but ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT WAS SICK! And funny as hell! You wouldn't believe how much I laughed at that, for real
Excellent video! I dunno if this is a small nitpick, and maybe I've got the wrong idea, but you described the crown's mood as "chill hang" on the right and "absolute nightmare" on the left. I guess your interpretation on crown amicability is really based on whether or not you have the same goals in mind in that moment! I've found that the left side of the moods indicate the crown is more invested in company well-being (mostly because it benefits them to behave that way), while the right-sided moods can go so far as the crown making its best attempts to separate from/sink the company. As such I think of the left side as being chill and the right side as the nightmare side. Ultimately it's always selfish and temperamental, but I typically prefer it working with me to see the company thrive, even if that means it's consequently crushing me in terms of victory points. I'm not a stock guy but I know it's sort of representing the crown being more "bullish" versus "bearish," and at the most extreme it feels like a lone peacock wandering the zoo doing what it wants while I'm trapped in a cage being gawked at. It took me a few playthroughs to realize what this spectrum meant in terms of gameplay, and having a better understanding definitely helped with navigating the crowns moods and expectations.
It's possible that that was just how it turned out in my plays. Sounds like you have a bit more experience than I do with the solo mode though, so I trust your assessment.
