I’m tired of losing, help needed!!

What are the best strategies to play the Otters or the Moles? I play quite frequently with a friend group, but have never won. My go-tos are the Otters and Moles, because our options are limited.

I usually price low and get people to support me then price high later when playing otters - I think find myself with no warriors on the field and my trading posts taken down, which are then eliminated from the game essentially

I’ve only played the Moles once so I have no clue what I was doing there

Usually playing with Lizards, Birds (one of the types usually), Vagabond, and the woodland alliance
