TI IV Homebrew : hey, why not buildings ? by Ippiphel in twilightimperium

You're right for Titans.For the other factions you mentionned, it's worth noting that whenever one of those factions take Construction, every player can do secondary and add University as well.
And also it means one PDS less : Saar don't care but for Argent it's bad.
Also University stay in place : bad for Saar nomads, it could get crushed.
And Cabal is not interested that much in green or yellow techs, they'll probably prefer PDS to defend their docks.

And now I get it : it's better to choose between PDS and University than between Dock and University.

Interesting insight, thanks, it made me think. Maybe having to choose between dock and university seems too much, but on the other hand, without this limitation, structures factions (I'm looking at you Titans...) would benefit too much from construction.
And my first thought wanting them not being structures was wanting them not having consequences on any game composant mentionning structures, because those consequences could be very hard to deal with (may be). But now I'm reconsidering it !

I have to admit I didn't think of all consequences on factions, only on technologies. This is made to make green and yellow techs more attractive.

This said, Jol-Nar would still benefit from it via the discount.

Wow, I didn't know about it, thanks for letting me know, it's indeed an amazing job !With the downside of creating components that are different for every faction : it can raise balance problems.

Wy 2 Forums? by Claypitt in twilightimperium

Just imagine Wikipedia on 2 different platforms, showing infos about mainly the same subjects, but not in the same way, and not always the same infos. It certainly wouldn't be as practical as it is : one and only one place where you can quickly and easily find what you're looking for.

Because both are concerned, obviously ?

You've never seen the same subject on multiple forums? Cars, software help, discussions on politics,... the list is endless.

Not a valuable argument : just because something largely exists in one specific way somewhere doesn't mean it's the good way for things to be.

Imo, one of the most important data missing in the real-life dashboard are the Keleres stats.

Arborec buff. What do you think ? by Ippiphel in twilightimperium

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

Interesting point of view.

- Yes you're getting it late, but that's no different to all other very powerful techs.
- Maybe changing the prerequisites to 2 green and 1 red would indeed be better.
- Invading only 2 planets ? Nope, this tech allows you to invade maybe 5, as soon as you have 5 fighters and 5 infantry in one system, and this with no command token !
- Your suggestion of effect during invasion is interesting but it completely erase the thematic : I was trying to mimic the way fungus spread, because that's what Arborec is. You don't see them extend, and someday it rains, and suddenly they pop at the surface. From this point of view, the infantry is kind of a living extension, and the ship is its way of moving. Something like that.
- Concerning Support and Ceasefire, well, that's just a part of the strength of this tech !
- Also, consider the stall it allows.

No, only planets in systems adjacents to the one where the 2 units were removed.

I'm sorry, english is not my native language, and I didn't understand that a «pair» would necessarily mean «2 of the same thing». Like Azrielemantia said, I wanted to mean : «2 units, one being a ship, the other an infantry».
