Cascadia board game strategy

My new favorite board game, which you can play solo here: https://cascadiagame.github.io/

Strategy notes ('A' tiles only)
- The most important thing to focus on is putting 2-4 foxes in the center of your layout. You don't need to actually place the foxes there until late in the game, but you do need to make space for them. You also need to plan on surrounding them with 4-5 different animals, but this is easy to do if you're not careless. With 2-4 foxes in the center, you can easily score 4+ points each, which is much more efficient than any other animal.
- In the online solo version of the game, salmon score 2-2-3-4-4-5-6, which makes runs of 7 almost mandatory for a good score. In the retail game, the salmon score 2-3-3-4-4-4-5, which makes runs of any length a viable strategy. You should still go for a long salmon run if there are many salmon tokens available, as they score more efficiently than any animal except foxes.
- With few exceptions, always try to extend your habitat corridors by as much as possible. If 3 available tiles can extend a corridor by 1, and the 4th tile can extend by 2, you should almost always choose the 4th tile.
- In the early game, try to fill 1-2 Keystone tiles so you have a Nature token available to use as needed.
- If you see a Keystone tile paired with an animal that fits there, you should almost always choose that pair.
- In the late game, focus on earning the bonus points from having corridors of 7+ tiles. (In multiplayer, the bonus points are earned by having more tiles than your opponent for each terrain, so you have to also consider what your opponent might do.)
- You usually want to choose 1 terrain to "ignore" in favor of the others. Optimally, this terrain is one that you see your opponent doing well in; for example, if it's the 5th turn and your opponent has 4 connected Mountain tiles while you only have 1, you should ignore Mountains for the rest of the game unless you have no other play. This approach will help you win the bonus points for the other terrains.
- Certain animals are less likely to appear on certain terrains. Consider this when planning your route:
	> Water: 13 Bears, 6 Elk, 11 Salmon, 14 Hawks, 10 Foxes (54 total)
	> Mountain: 14 Bears, 12 Elk, 9 Salmon, 12 Hawks, 8 Foxes (55 total)
	> Desert: 8 Bears, 12 Elk, 12 Salmon, 8 Hawks, 15 Foxes (55 total)
	> Wetlands: 8 Bears, 9 Elk, 14 Salmon, 13 Hawks, 10 Foxes (54 total)
	> Forest: 11 Bears, 13 Elk, 8 Salmon, 9 Hawks, 13 Foxes (54 total)
- The most optimal shape for your entire board is hexagonal, as this maximizes the number of habitat corridors and surrounded foxes. The least optimal shape is an hourglass/'X' shape.
