Choosing Ambassadors

To fully utilize the Rock Giant's abilities, you will need at least 3 Desert Ambassadors, 2 Forest Ambassadors, and 2 Swamp Ambassadors. Prioritize acquiring a Desert or Swamp ambassador first, followed by the other from that pair. This unlocks Noble and Seismic aspects early, and also grants access to level 2 of Precious and Advanced Minerals, allowing for multi-tasking.

After securing these two ambassadors, your next choice should depend on your game strategy, focusing on whether you need more Wealth or Tech from minerals. The Exotic Aspect is also available but is generally considered a secondary concern for the Rock Giant.
