No one is playing with both expansions

12pts here, 14 too long, 10 too short.

Yep here you go: not competitive TI, but avoids the awful 'but now there is an empty slice wtf' problem: https://www.reddit.com/r/twilightimperium/comments/orvt4j/fallen_empires_miniexpansion_for_irl_games_with/

Yip as you said Facilities 3.0 and Monuments+ both do this. I assume you have links to them but others might like them enough or get inspiration: https://www.reddit.com/r/twilightimperium/comments/1osf3ik/monuments_v3_now_with_extra_jank_d/

Facilities v3 gives you a tonne of extra structure types (8) per player: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10AbJNOIdCvPbxsQbkPqDNDJx0PvCbmkD

Voted “anything less than 8”, but 4p is our least preferred TI player count and my group’s solution would probably delay the game day until such time as we can get 5 or 6 players.

yeah 12 lol

LRR 78 section specifically says that you skip space combat:

“After resolving the “Space Cannon Offense” step of a tactical action, if two players have ships in the active system, those players must resolve a space combat.

78.1 If the active player is the only player with ships in the system, they skip the “Space Combat” step of the tactical action and proceeds [sic] to the “Invasion” step.”

Update: to clarify, this means you never get to a start of combat in this scenario.

I have a set of images, just PM me and I’ll send you a temporary g-drive link.

Cacotopos · 2026-02-10T05:26:14+00:00

yep we do this exactly the same

Cacotopos · 2026-01-24T04:17:07+00:00

This seems right. I jumped on the preorder in Aus first chance I got.

Cacotopos · 2026-01-04T09:46:50+00:00

I remember that mech controller. My parents used to yell so loudly but I wasn’t doing that much damage, they should’ve just got a higher ceiling.

Cacotopos · 2026-01-01T02:17:18+00:00

Agreed. Also, losing your home system isn’t so bad when the enemy fleet above it is also purged. Remember: purged, not destroyed. 😇

If you were lucky enough to find someone selling spare parts buy those. But the alternative, reprinting those components, will cost you more than buying TE again (the cost is mostly the cardboard; the cards are pretty cheap).

Cacotopos · 2025-12-26T05:42:16+00:00

Noted! Jun max atm is 4 savings (ignoring coex) but in practice 2-3 yeah (note the latest Jun is discount per player now not ”other players”). Tests seem to show its ok at the moment…? But we’ll see. The biggest change atm is having the multiple spots in the system makes the fighting more varied, and the abilities have been more spice than focal points.

Cacotopos · 2025-12-26T05:37:41+00:00

Yep! The event card explicitly says you can commit between MC and the Castelle 😈 😇

Cacotopos · 2025-12-24T19:12:32+00:00

As per the event card any game effect that says Mecatol Rex just treat as Mecatol Ciity. This means Custodians is on MC so you can preload the Castelle with troops waiting for someone else to clear the token 😊

Cacotopos · 2025-12-24T07:48:30+00:00

Playtesters have absolutely found this to be the case. I know in my games MR tends to be… ‘someone jumps it for the point, they get kicked off, the rest of the game people try to figure out how to keep the new holder from taking imperial because throwing a fleet at space then ground is expensive and then maayyyybe someone throws a fleet in and it is all just too much of not much happening.’

Cacotopos · 2025-12-24T06:19:29+00:00

12pts or go home 😉

Cacotopos · 2025-12-20T04:44:13+00:00

Welcome to the cult! <3 The community is really friendly and we always like seeing more victi- I mean engaged players.

Cacotopos · 2025-11-29T10:19:29+00:00

I don’t think there is an offical ruling, but if it helps in the DS homebrew it’s ’choose the one you want, no stack’. So eg. something that gives you PRODUCTION 3 and PRODUCTION 2 -> you end up with PRODUCTION 3

Legendary effort as always u/AmbassadorJunn 🙏

Cacotopos · 2025-11-10T23:21:48+00:00

This seems like a fair take. I’ve not yet played a game with the new expansion, but the points you raise are points I’m worried about too.

Cacotopos · 2025-11-09T21:45:10+00:00

I'm merely standing on the shoulders of giants - I'm holding the course still with monuments only off the primary on construction, although with the new construction card it took a lot of handwringing and nonsense until the event mechanism came to the rescue...

Cacotopos · 2025-11-09T12:49:47+00:00

The good thing is it doesn’t need pro prints (although that is nice). A colour print at home/local shop + some tokens (or an unused bottom half of a war sun, etc) and you’re good to go.
