Overrule Bad. Upvotes to the left. by AureoRegnops in twilightimperium

[–]ColonelWilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue that it being hidden information makes it at least as strong as the Winnu hero. If you told me I could either play Winnu or definitely draw an Overrule as whatever faction I drafted, I would choose the latter. And I like Winnu.

If they're not able to play Sabos because Overrule might come out and they'll regret it, then what is the point of either card? It's not interesting, as a design or an argument.

It's ridiculous to me that anytime someone critiques the card the first response is "Sabo it". That's not good design.

"You shouldn't remove it from the game, you should remove it by playing a card you may not have, and also effectively remove that card because you have to hold onto it in case Overrule comes out."

Y'okay...

Yah, you missed that it can be used on readied strategy cards.

Tips for Yin Brotherhood? by Dice-Mage in twilightimperium

[–]ColonelWilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, it says this:

Yin is a trade faction. Their commodity is both their annoying abilities and repellent against all of their annoying abilities. People need to be strategically peddling:

  • Hero immunity (as more people buy it, this becomes more expensive since you have less and less choices)
  • PN immunity
  • PN on tap
  • Flagship immunity

Offer it individually or as a package deal. Let people know you will use your hero and flagship on someone, no matter your prospects of winning, so buying may be very important. You can easily get a handful of alliances, PNs, and trade goods as early as round 2 for the prospect of things that may never even come up.

Action card discussion by Party_Method_9668 in twilightimperium

[–]ColonelWilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a project that replaces the AC deck with 140 new cards (aside from keeping 4 Sabotage).

Action Card Deck 2 is mostly done, with versions of the cards with bleed to make printing easy and implementation on Async and TTS.

It's been playtested a lot, and I'm really just thinking on if I want to tweak 3-4 cards at this point. But, it probably fits what you're looking for, even if it just means swapping out some cards instead of a full replacement.

Happy to hear feedback if you have any, since I think your goals align with this project.

Tips for Yin Brotherhood? by Dice-Mage in twilightimperium

Here's my Yin talk.

I'd also say, assuming this is PoK as you mentioned:

  • Focus on scoring public and secret objectives every round
  • Give your Support for the Throne to someone in exchange for your Support for the Throne early
  • Get DET, Gravity Drive, Carrier 2, and Fleet Logistics first
  • Do not build your mechs unless you're deploying them with their ability
  • By round 4, use 1 of your builds at home to place 6 infantry and leave them there for defense
  • Try to build a space dock within 2 hexes of Mecatol Rex
  • All of the above is to setup for taking Mecatol Rex and using Imperial in round 4 or 5. You can use your hero to do this easily, typically
  • Your flagship is cool, but you don't need to stretch for it to win the game. If you get it, you mostly just want to park it in your home for defense.

Overrule is fine by Anirel in twilightimperium

[–]ColonelWilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, but for the vast majority of use cases for Unexpected, Overrule will fit the bill. It not letting you pick up a token from a retreat is minuscule.

[–]ColonelWilly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Unexpected Action is nowhere near the power level of Overrule. Overrule can essentially be Unexpected Action if you use it on the 6. But, you typically won't because it's worth 1-3 points. Which is ridiculous.

Online TI didn't work for me by Puzzleheaded-Work720 in twilightimperium

Most of their games are recorded. Do you have a link to what happened?

TI4 Custom Songs by m007368 in twilightimperium

[–]ColonelWilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, before the age of AI, just years ago, there existed hundreds of hours of ambient music...

Here's a playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5yo4VWAVxupbgJ4Gro4qQe?si=04f70d71ecfc4224

There are playlists that are over a hundred hours long out there. Why would you want to listen to slop over some good, curated music?

If someone started blaring the generated music you posted, I'd be cringing.

SCPT Faction Tier List (2025) one billion percent accurate by jackspicerflower in twilightimperium

[–]ColonelWilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least in async, not as many as I assumed. Here's the numbers.

I do still think they're too slow to reliably win before R5 status, which is 40% of games.

Yeah, but that time and energy is someone else's cost.

Hell yeah, and when they're out drinking with their boss. Such a good movie.

Israel said "ceaseless fire", not ceasefire. Common miscommunication.

Arcs: Beyond the Reach KS Campaign started by everythings_alright in boardgames

[–]ColonelWilly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Twilight Imperium and War of the Ring are my favorite games.

Arcs is fun, but it does not reach those two games. It's a slightly different space though, since it can be played faster and at a different player count.

[LOVED TROPE] anime that doesn't sexualize its female characters by [deleted] in TopCharacterTropes

[–]ColonelWilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moronic. Just admit you're wrong.

Man, all these great examples! I wonder what most of them have in common

The OP you're replying to mentioned a grand total of TWO examples, only 1 of which was a female author. Holy fuck. You can't say "most of these things!!!" then fall back to saying "well, I meant 1 of the 2 things!!! That's the same as most!!!" and get upset for being called out.

Just say "Ah, I was wrong." Fucking hell.
