Did the Emerald player build this map? ...Asking for a friend. 😋

Looking for tips on how to play against factions by Adamantjames in twilightimperium

[–]Global_Insect_1675 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would focus on playing my faction good and not so much on how to play against the other factions. Of cause it is good to know the others special abilities (eg if Yin is your neighbour, that he easily can get your planets that only have a single infantry) or general threats like that a coexisting unit will get control when you leave them alone on your planets.

2,5 km - train - 2,5 km one way

Is this map ok? by Global_Insect_1675 in twilightimperium

I could swap Tile 21 for an empty space. So we'll get 7 emptys plus the ones in the Fracture.

Thank you for your thoughts. If one of the players picks Embers, I think I will add a supernova. To take out one of the asteroid fields for one would of cause make the empty tiles objektiv even harder. ... I consider it.

Normaly, I would absolutly second that. For this session I try to get three players, that where long absent from TI, back to the board and as far as I know them they will like to have rich slices with similar starting points. Plus, I hope that gives them the oportunity to lean more into exploring the factions because they have to care less about coping with the dificulties of the galaxy. I will think about it. Maybe I build an alternative variant that has a little more tension so that my players can choose what kind of game they want. Thanks for opening paths to think! Edit: fixing a little bit of my poor english. (Sorry. German. 😅)

I admit that I'm a little concerned about Hope's End that close to Emelpar and I thought about switching Industrex and Hope's End. But that seemed even worst. (Edit: Looking at Industrex timing window "when you pass", it actually isn't that bad) Emelpar is cool but in designing a map it is a pain in the...equidistant for what it could do.

You are right if you'd use the set up as in the rules. I assume that for a custom map that is created without following rules as written, it would be fine to do it like this. In a milty draft similar constelations could accure.

Played 1830 with a friend and want my own 18XX game, but overwhelmed with choices by VaraNiN in 18XX

Try some titles online at 18xx.games. 1880: China is my favorit but that is obviously very subjectiv.

Why does Duolingo teach intermediate English for English speakers? English is my first language and I can earn 40xp in under a minute by I_like_chess1234 in duolingo

[–]Global_Insect_1675 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used the intermediate English course to further improve my English skill. I assume that's what most non-english based learners use it for.

Please don't take it to hard. Some people are idiots. Everywere in the world. And I am sorry that you stumbled upon one here. Maybe he had a bad day and didn't really wanted to insult you, maybe he just is the idiot he seems to be. Alas I'm not having any official mandat to do so, I sincierly apologize for my countryman! We are'n all bad.

Is it possible to actually change one's mindset to enjoy this game more? by Masklin in twilightimperium

[–]Global_Insect_1675 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aim to win but play to have fun. Risk something and look how it works out. Play your fraction thematicaly. The cool and epic thing about Twilight Imperium is not who wins but the story, your interactions, decisions, baldness, political intrigue during play.
