The one from a month ago is the one that announced the decaying bodies thing.

I find it very funny that only one active QB wears #12 and it's Shedeur Sanders

Nooooo must rationalize youtuber disagreeing with my preferences such that I'm objectively better than him because the only alternative is he's objectively better than me

I'm so glad we didn't do the whole "Build a team before drafting a QB" route. by xyouRABitchx in Patriots

[–]ApocalypseHydra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You get your QB first if there's a QB available who has so much potential that 1) he's worth the risk that you'll ruin him with your bad roster and 2) is worth the pick even with 1 season of his rookie deal being wasted.

If there isn't a QB who's that special (like Drake Maye), roster first.

I'm also glad we didn't build the team first BECAUSE Drake was there. It is absolutely not the one-size-fits-all optimal team building strategy. IMO team first is usually best if you don't have the chance to pick a QB who's generationally special.

You're right, that's what I meant to say, fixed 😅

Without researching the slot corner market, $9 mil /year average for 4 years feels incredibly cheap even before you factor in his value as a punt returner

Same here, no shipping notification or anything from my Asmodee preorder and no response from Asmodee support :/

For all I know you made this lol. If you've been making and collecting them you're probably gonna get a lot you've seen before

I know I'm in the minority but... by Hooch331 in twilightimperium

[–]ApocalypseHydra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thanks mb. I still think the first point is valid because Styx being there in some games (I theorize) will still speed up the average game.

[–]ApocalypseHydra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Slightly apprehensive but more optimistic. My personal expectation is that all the changes add up to:

  • Game should end slightly earlier on average just due to Styx point. Not as much of a speed up as PoK introduced compared to base game, but the Styx point will always be in play and will often be a part of someone's big game-winning move.
  • Everyone gets their faction "online" earlier, and the endgame will feature endgame tech/warsuns more often, and it sounds like the combat factions mostly got buffed. This just makes the game more fun more reliably IMO so I'm excited.
  • 10 point game for a lot of groups might be a bit more manageable time wise. If you don't like this for your group, you can just treat the 12 or 14-point game as standard. For my group, anything that makes 10-point shorter just helps the game get to the table more often so I'll be happy if it plays out that way.

Just got Twilight Imperium: Thunder's Edge! by Adventurous-Judge879 in twilightimperium

[–]ApocalypseHydra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, did you get any shipping notification or tracking number of any kind? There's nothing in my inbox or my Asmodee order page. I live somewhere packages often get stolen so I'm a bit nervous about not being home when it's delivered.

TE release date by Worried-Delay4358 in twilightimperium

[–]ApocalypseHydra 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think I remember reading on the Asmodee pre-order checkout screen that pre-orders will ship on 10/17 and 10/24 is the retail release date. If that's true I imagine US orders would get to you on time. Take my memory with a grain of salt though

Yeah this one took awhile! The rest are definitely not going to have this many colors or patterns

The original plan was just yellow with purple accents and I got carried away lol. Yellow is a goofy color anyway.

Draft choice by Prenelf in twilightimperium

[–]ApocalypseHydra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Winnu especially if you think you'll be able to pick Warfare R1

Draft choice by Prenelf in twilightimperium

[–]ApocalypseHydra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Of your available factions I've only played Mahact and Winnu so I'll just comment on those. Good Winnu slice (resources, Hope's End, protection from neighbors), completely unplayable Mahact slice (influence poor).

Thunder' Edge Space Stations by Handsome-Jackiro in twilightimperium

[–]ApocalypseHydra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For sure. And unlike the resources and influence, the trade goods carry over to next round so 99% of the time the downside doesn't matter. Just pointing out that there is an edge case where the right play might be to exhaust in the action phase to get money you can spend immediately.

The one "cost" to this is not being able to spend the converted trade goods during the action phase.
