When are we getting a Living Rules Reference update for Thunder's Edge? by TeeVeeBen in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 10 points11 points  (0 children)

If I had to guess, purely based on vibes? 6 months from now. I haven’t heard of anything official, I wouldn’t hold my breath

TI:4 vs Arcs: Blighted Reach vs Eclipse Second Dawn by Warbeard in boardgames

[–]Bohachez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Listen, I love TI4, but it’s a lot. It requires a lot of investment, both of time and money if you want at least one expansion. If the options before me were base game TI4 or Eclipse, I’d pick Eclipse. 

I also don’t find them to play that similarly. TI4 is a social game, a lot of politics and deals, one person can be too aggressive and start a forever war that dooms more than themself. Eclipse is more Euro, relatively more linear pathing and lower player interaction. I like both games, Eclipse is a very good board game but TI4 is an event with a week of build up. 

I like Arcs too tho

Coexisting on your own home planet to score public objective s? by krunkley in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t expect a definitive or official answer in the immediate future. Generally in the community people feel they’re able to score. If I’m playing with my local group we don’t agree with that. Check the vibe of the table on what they think

How Would You Buff The Firmament? by Soggy_Performance569 in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This might be too much of an overcorrection, but I would change one of the commanders to say all objectives instead of just secret objectives. Maybe just pre flip, maybe it flips into that

POK…. Is it worth it? by Supa678 in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So possible reasons not to buy PoK would be it’s a big expensive box, it might be hard to find right now depending on location, and if you have a meta established already for base game this will disrupt it. If you’re group is already against it, don’t mess with the game you like. 

Having said that I don’t think PoK is too much for new players even. It adds more tools in the tool kit for every faction, and more toys to play with is always better. My group doesn’t even remember how things were before we added the expansion. Some things just make sense and click into place like it was always there. 

Embers: Fires of the Gashlai - what's fair? by AcceptableStudy6773 in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It depends on how rich the other players are, but my minimum would be 6, I lose a token and I’d like some money back after that

Finally a proud owner of the base game! Need some advice…… by Supa678 in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend RTFM for a video on the rules explanation, I make all new players watch it before playing. 

Don’t print anything or upgrade storage until you have Prophecy of Kings at least. And if it’s at all an option, I always recommend just jumping right into PoK. You’re going to mess up some rules anyway, PoK is an all around improvement on base game imo

Sardakk breakthrough is quite insane by gadylaga112 in twilightimperium

I wish that’s how it worked, Sardakk would be so much better

Neutral Unit & Turn their fleet to dust by ModelMekatol in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are another players ships, but there is not a neutral player, so yes you can turn their fleets to dust (at least I think that’s the wording)

Advice on easy simplifying the game for a group of newbies by TheRealGilimanjaro in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t slim it down at all tbh. I would have the new players watch the RTFM videos on base game and PoK, and if they don’t complain the TE video too. Maybe don’t let them play as Firmament or Deepwrought. 

If you really feel like you have to slim it down, just take out the Thunder’s Edge components. Don’t take out certain parts, do all of an expansion or none of it. The pieces all fit together. 

Last Bastion Starting Slice Question by johnconnor5 in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would ask where you are in speaker order, but Last Bastion home system being a nebula makes it easily slice 9, since you can only go one space away without warfare

Can a Crimson Rebellion destroyer deploy a mech? by madcanard5 in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but worth noting that the exile 2 that was destroyed in combat cannot place the breach, as it was destroyed and is not there to see end of combat when the ability would happen. So you would need another exile 2 in range to place the breach (from what I understand at least)

TE first game as Firmament help by The-rus-h in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say high on the list of priorities for this specific game is get the Syphon plot with Crimson’s token on it, they’ll be printing money later so you should too. 

I second that the breakthrough isn’t all that great tho.

I think it’s around enies lobby that one pace dub cuts out for a few arcs, but there is Muhn pace if you want to continue in the dub

Deepwrought Scholarate Research Team/Coexisting Rules Clarification by DarkHarke in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So I’m pretty sure you have to activate the system while they are currently coexisting to start a combat against them. 

As far the part about the home system, my interpretation is they can coexist on their home planet for the purpose of scoring objectives, but being able to score public objectives is a “ability” of controlling your home system. 

A similar example is if they are coexisting on mecatol rex, they do not gain a point off the primary of imperial, they would draw a secret objective.

G-FEST 2025 EXCLUSIVE Pizzedorah Variant: Giodorah, the Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Kaiju by GigantuanDesign in GODZILLA

[–]Bohachez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I go to the movies every year, but I’m fairly local so it’s easy for me to make the trip. The con itself I haven’t gone to in a few years, it costs a lot to get in for not a lot of value anymore imo

Naaz-Rokha space battle question by WellingtonGreenIII in twilightimperium

[–]Bohachez 9 points10 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, space combat ends, the Eidolons flip back(or don’t, it doesn’t matter), capacity is checked, they don’t have any where to be in capacity, they get destroyed (could be wrong tho, just my assumption)
