Topic: NOOB GUIDE: Beginning of Round Baratheon Strategy
If you happen to random into the Baratheon family, don't give up right away.
Here's what you need to do: Immediately message all family members. Explain that having Baratheon in your family and trying to win is comparable to having herpe-gono-syphil-AIDS and trying to sleep with beautiful women after showing them your medical history. It ain't going to happen. Tell all of them to vote you for leader and use the following strategy as soon as the round starts. Send all starting resources in the family to a single player. Have that player build as much fleet as possible. As soon as the transports are finished, mark Baratheon as inactive and send that player's entire fleet to his home planet. Kill him.
Jumping an attacker to kill off a fam member at the start of the round will definitely nerf your start, but it's better to have a nerfed start than to ensure that Baratheon wrecks your family's entire round.
This is your only hope.
