Focus on claiming your first relics quickly. Establish strongholds near relic sites and defend them carefully. Each relic dramatically increases your power.
Leverage your relic powers to expand aggressively. Use the unique abilities of each relic to control the board and disrupt enemy plans.
Protect your relic network while preventing others from claiming remaining artifacts. Your accumulated power should dominate the endgame.
Each relic provides different benefits. Plan your expansion around which relics you can realistically claim and defend, rather than spreading too thin.
Don't neglect basic board control! While relics are powerful, you still need to maintain presence across the map and interact with other factions.
