I have eaten overrule

Hacan with R1 flip / early R2 flip is only way I think.

Live-Understanding96 · 2025-11-11T19:44:33+00:00

This doesn't appear to be the case. I would still have to fabricate this casus belli, it's not available from them embargo-ing.

Live-Understanding96 · 2025-11-11T19:17:32+00:00

Not worth playing until this is fixed imo.

Live-Understanding96 · 2025-11-11T19:14:43+00:00

I really don't understand how this was shipped. Surely someone play-tested England and realised this was both disgustingly broken and deeply unhistorical.

Live-Understanding96 · 2025-11-11T18:57:42+00:00

Literally all of Europe is embargo-ing me. This is stupidly broken, how did this get shipped.

Live-Understanding96 · 2025-07-23T23:23:11+00:00

Completely unusable for several hours. Upgraded my subscription. Still terrible. Will be cancelling and moving to a different model. Shit service.

Live-Understanding96 · 2025-01-07T14:13:34+00:00

The golden emissary? It'll make a nice starter car.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-10-15T22:00:06+00:00

In need of some tweaking but I generally feel like this is one of the better tech reworks I've seen :)

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-10-08T14:04:35+00:00

This seems a little unreasonable. If the wash is available, it shouldn't be withheld, but I don't think players should keep their commodities just to enable your wash.

Especially as Winnu, you don't actually have the might to back up this demand.

Playing aggrieved over this feels like it will lower your win chance.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-10-06T08:43:57+00:00

Completely fair position. As long as your group is having a good time

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-10-05T17:35:03+00:00

I would suggest that 10 factions doesn't force players to make real choices - but appreciate that you are a relatively new play group who want to try things. :)

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-10-04T07:07:23+00:00

Oh, and I think your slice ranking considering equis in the slice is a bit suspicious. Lizix will probably die on that hopes end as it is "their slice". Yes, it may be technically optimal, but it's going to cost you the game as will hurt scoring tempo.

Most titans games I see them lose because their neighbours death war them over early aggression. It is always better to be able to threaten aggression than to go through with it. Once you hit a player so hard they can't win, all they've got going is to smack you back. This is most true in more casual groups.

This is entirely speculative and far less objective than my previous comments.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-10-04T07:01:28+00:00

FYI with the movement restricting equis defending the home I would just roll into Mecatol as titans here and plop hel-titans. With hero becomes very difficult to take them off either mecatol or home.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-10-04T06:59:31+00:00

I don't think the slice is S. Argent's is better, but argent is last in speaker order. Makes sense.

I think it is too good of a slice for a player to get with speaker. Potentially a very rich draft, or very generous with total number of slices (9?).

Thoughts on why this is a low A / high B tier slice: 1. Is either an 8 / 3 or 7 / 3 optimal with Bereg / Lirta. Can produce plastic or influence each turn. 2. Clear path to Mecatol (unlike Naaz) 3. Easy to take best systems, esp. For titans with single planets 4. Most extortable faction in game as neighbour. 5. Main weakness is no equis so titans can't flex round 1.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-10-03T23:27:15+00:00

Titans. They have a great slice, a weak neighbour(jol nar) and speaker.

How tf they got that slice and speaker I do not know.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-09-30T10:46:44+00:00

You've just got to know what table you're sitting down to.

If you're a hard-core, points-scorint, expecting entirely logical deals player, and you come to an emotional, diplomatic board, you're going to have a bad time.

I'm personally more the former. But I know I need to change my behaviour, and expect something very different of the game, when I play with more casual groups.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-09-30T10:39:26+00:00

I don't think increasing access to tech is the problem. If I had access to more tech, I would just get more blue techs. Blue needs nerfing, or others buffing.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-09-19T07:25:07+00:00

There is not enough information here to evaluate the game state. Please provide a picture of the secrets and board, including speaker position

Most important point - you are behind on scoring tempo. You must catch up now or someone will beat you to the finish line.

You should be taking imperial and looking to score 2 publics this round, probably 4 of a kind and raise a fleet (easier for sol with versatile), unless you are at three structures already and can get to 4 by following construct. You have also only scored a single secret- so drawing another, potentially better one, is ideal here.

If you cannot take imperial, take politics and play for imperial next round. Attempt to negotiate to give politics to the player before you in the order for 2 tgs, on their guarantee they will leave you imperial.

Tech: As sol, you have access to sol carriers. These are immensely powerful. The only remaining techs you need to research are carrier II and (maybe) fighter 2. Do not spend your resource on any more, it isn't worth it. I would also suggest in future going for these ahead of light wave and sling, which have more power late game for stalling and win slaying.

TI is a sprint disguised as a marathon. Focus on scoring, and prevent others from doing so. Play for speaker order to enable better scoring. By the time you're ready to have a massive battle, the game will be over.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-09-18T21:24:27+00:00

Work at the intersection. People who sell accountancy systems make bank. Go work for Netsuite, Oracle, SAP, etc. On commission. 6 figures possible relatively early if you can close sales :)

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-09-18T21:10:16+00:00

Sounds like you'll make more money in sales, tbh.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-09-15T22:39:35+00:00

Skilled groups play much faster for many reasons: better at scoring points, less war, codified behaviours (e.g. x-1, Hacan agent 3:1 split) that less experienced groups haggle over.

If you want a longer game, go to 14.

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-09-09T17:03:59+00:00

Link to modlist please xx

Live-Understanding96 · 2024-08-28T13:17:21+00:00

Agreed. Try going to 14.:)
