Hold on right there mister!
That really depends on RNG!!! We’ve discussed this before so I’ll not go into it again.
Same thing!! This depends on having 50% with synedrion, if you don’t get their havens nearby or they’re not attacked, no deal!
I don’t really remember it well by now but… I had a run where I forwarded my Syn rep really fast because pandas were attacking only them in the region. Even so it still feels to me very lucky to have a helios BUILT (not stolen) by 3rd week… but maybe my memory escapes me.
