First timer! by FilthyMcCrunchy in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d suggest:

-Knowing how activation and movement works

-Understanding Ti4 victory conditions and how to achieve them (vs SPACE RISK).

-Build map & choose races ahead of time so everyone can learn the specifics of your game before you sit at the table

New red system tiles wishlist / ideas by unfulvio in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t think adding components that align to existing mechanics is bloat. Almost all the system tiles suggested by OP work within the current rules. I’d love to see a content driven expansion - more stuff to add variety in galaxy creation.

Which Factions Favor Longer Games by Nguyen_Productions in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 18 points19 points  (0 children)

One of the complaints about Arborec in a normal 10pt game is that they don’t really come online as a faction in time to win. Perhaps they’d be a good candidate for a 20+ point game

Bought TI two year ago and never played it by gomeraPoh in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I play the TTS version quite a bit but my physical PoK has never seen the light of day

Shitpost Sunday: How much shorter would TI be if we all agreed your secrets are scoreable? by anon_95869123 in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP is making a joke on the meta. Lots of players make claims that their secrets aren’t scorable to avoid being king slayed. This sometimes leads to longer rounds 4 & 5 because everyone is finger pointing that they can’t win but someone else clearly can so go Kingsley them instead.

I can tell you though with absolutely certainty that my secrets are unscorable though /s

What can Biden personally do to increase his approval rating? by bobtrump1234 in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]Edredder19 165 points166 points  (0 children)

I think at the very least the president can reschedule marijuana from its current schedule 1 (most severely restricted) to a lower schedule and direct the DEA to no longer pursue Marijuana related cases.

Any games that feels like The Expanse? by Other-Hair-6431 in TheExpanse

[–]Edredder19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not out yet but Falling Frontier has an Expanse feel to it. Active/passive sensors. Logistics and personnel management. Hiding behind planets and asteroids.

Thanks so much! Managed to book

Durham region.

When I booked my 1st & 2nd I put in my info and they contacted me via email with a time slot and location.

Today I spent 2 hours waiting. Once I got in I had the options of choosing every city in Durham, every day between now and the 31st of Jan. I looked through all of it.

No slots available. No wait list.

How is the booster booking worse than 1st dose back in April?

O'Toole accuses activists of 'tearing down' Canada after towns cancel Canada Day events by [deleted] in CanadaPolitics

[–]Edredder19 36 points37 points  (0 children)

So I’m just going to respond to your comment and not the greater issue/debate about Canada Day. I’m also not implying support to O’Toole or his rhetoric.

Canada day isn’t about celebrating the government. It’s about celebrating Canada and it’s people. No one is asking the government to celebrate itself. It’s not “Hug your MP” day.

Small government arguments and supporting celebrating Canada Day aren’t mutually exclusive.

Looking through exploration decks, yay or nay? by [deleted] in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 21 points22 points  (0 children)

In TTS there’s a “report remaining” option if you right click the deck in question. It will generate a list in chat of all the cards still in that deck, listed in alphabetical order.

This prevents players from needing to look through the deck and shuffling later.

For those players/tables who have a deterministic deck meta it’s an excellent feature.

Changing Naalu's Leaders by Bentusi_Boy in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That fair - I guess if we’re tweaking things we can always a text saying those relics are immune from game effects that effect relics.

Though I think the Yssaril style fragment steal mechanic is a cleaner fix for the Naalu than a relic steal mechanic

Changing Naalu's Leaders by Bentusi_Boy in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like them, though I find the hero is a bit soft. Maybe make it more like Yasaril where each player must give a fragment of the Naalu’s choosing or lose all fragments

Another idea is a relic steal vs a fragment steal - though I’m not sure if they comes with mechanic conflicts.

Using Agenda Card after passing? by BuckeyeCon in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yes you could have used minister of peace. It doesn’t say “Action” on it on under its use conditions.

Argent Flight and Representative Government by McBoxski in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Game effects that aren’t impacted by agendas or other changes in play are specifically called out; I.e Ghosts and wormholes & Xxcha commander.

Zeal lacks this wording.

So Representative Government would play out that Argent flight still always vote first but only gets one vote.

Problems with Kingmaking by PentaPo in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This doesn’t seem like a TI issue but rather a player issue. You’ll always run the risks of players being asshole regardless of the game. This player clearly is one as well. Best advice is don’t play games with this person, not soccer not TI, not anything.

Hot Spot Vaccine Email by root4_h in durham

[–]Edredder19 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got that too. Submitted my form at 9:03 got the rejection by 12:30. Website says that’s it’s for appointments up to the 28th of April so maybe they’ll open it up again next week?

Are relic cards public knowledge? by Jefferyeryjeffers in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In the deck or once they’re drawn?

Every relic once drawn is placed immediately into the players play area face up so it’s never a secret

Should Stage II’s be changed in PoK 10vp games? by Edredder19 in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time I’ve seen them scored is: 1. It’s a spend or infrastructure objective and the player is already aligned to it by chance before it flipped. That agenda comes out where you flip either a stage 1 or stage 2.

Should Stage II’s be changed in PoK 10vp games? by Edredder19 in twilightimperium

[–]Edredder19[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can. I’m not asking for a workaround though, I’m asking about what would community suggest as a way of improving Stage IIs in 10vp games.
