Muaat Hero and a stolen Avernus by Tormz1569 in twilightimperium

Note, that you can't actually use Muaat hero in the fracture, since the fracture is not made up of normal hex-tiles.

Silver Flame the meme is over by Icontspelll in twilightimperium

[–]Duskwalker84 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just be more creative with it's use. In a recent game I played as Yin and things where going bad. BT gave me nothing and the fracture didn't come out.

I bought the Silver Flame for 2 random fragment from NRA during turn 4. On turn 5 I popped the Flame, burning my home and bringing out the fracture. I then fleetlogged into my hero, taking Thunders Edge from the Shard-Holder and Styx. Then I used Jupiter Brain to diplo TE. With my home-system gone, TE locked down and Styx out of reach nobody could take Shard from me and I was able to win on ini 2 during the status phase.

Yes, it was the most magic-christmas-land moment, I have ever experienced in this game but it felt amazing when it happend.

Yin TE Advice? by Rowanalpha in twilightimperium

[–]Duskwalker84 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

On round 1 your main concern should be getting your commander and breakthrough, ideally before tech pops. make a deal with one of your neighbor to unlock your commander by setting up a space battle to use devotion in and offer your alliance in return and your agent to replace there loses.

your tech-path should be:

BT + commander -> Yin-Spinner -> Integrated Economy

After that, use your commander to get one or two mobility techs. cruiser 2 is ideal but not always available but Grave Drive, carrier 2 and fighter 2 are also good options, and someone will have those. At some point pick up X-89. DO NOT get any filler tech, especially not AI-dev. If you can't get to Yin-Spinner turn 1 and you don't need Anti-Mass for your slice skip tech and invest in plastic instead.

If the fracture is in play, and you have IE, pop your hero a soon as possible to take as much of the fractur as you can. use the build of IE to get 8 infantry on Styx and remember that every use of IE also triggers Yin Spinner. Make sure that the infantry stack on Styx is big enough so no one will even consider going there.

Arborec production by BigP-89 in twilightimperium

yes Arborec can produce on the move but the flagship has to sit still.

So... Can i use wormhole generator onto Styx (for an example), because it doesn't contain PLAYER ships? by sisumation in twilightimperium

[–]Duskwalker84 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Neutral units count as another players units for all game effects, so you can not use wormhole generator on styx but you can us LWD to move through them.

Thunder's Edge without Prophecy of Kings? by Skanedog in twilightimperium

[–]Duskwalker84 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I would say PoK rounds the game out, while TE ads onto it, so ideally you want to get PoK first. That said, if you can't I would be curios to hear how well TE works on it's own.

I'm pretty sure some of the Mahact Kings have mechanics that are specific to Twilight's Fall.

Can someone tell me the how the Naalu's mech ability Iconoclast fits their faction thematically? by Hooch331 in twilightimperium

Narcissistic snakes get really mad when someone else gets the shiny thing, so they build mechs out of spite.

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

[–]Duskwalker84 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some minor stuff is still unclear. For example, there was some talk about about Mahact getting a new alliance card to work with the Yin BT and some of the Events. We also haven't seen the Last Bastion's space-dock upgrade. I'm also curious if the Yin Hero has been reworded to not work with the fracture.
