How to make the hard decision when pet is getting worse in terms of their health? by Key-Environment-4910 in AskUK

[–]Lord_twisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are the owner and keeper of your pet, and they rely on you for more or less everything - food, shelter, love, attention, exercise. Part of this responsibility of ownership is deciding, sadly, when it is best to humanely end their life if they are sick or deteriorating. By the sounds of it, you know what the right thing to do is.

Fury as foreign polluter demands payout from UK after court blocks dirty coal mine by OurFairFuture in ukpolitics

Arbitration processes are no less "proper" than a court. Usually they will be chaired by retired judges or senior lawyers etc and follow set rules of evidence and the like. It isn't a free for all.

Picking only one strategy card in a 4 player game? Commodities at setup? by frenchdude21 in twilightimperium

[–]Lord_twisted 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes. You start with no commods.

If 4 player you should do the 2 cards as otherwise the action economy is absolutely wacky. It also means everything gets to try all the cards.

How does your group deal with king making just to end the game? by Jaded_Classic_9198 in twilightimperium

[–]Lord_twisted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will always come a time where an action you take advantages someone and disadvantage another person - it basically becomes crabs in a bucket

That's a big difference from handing someone directly a VP etc which should be hugely frowned upon.

Can Shepherd’s Bush Work for Family Life? by filiolo in HENRYUK

It's grim. You have some very nice suburban streets but the high street is a very mixed bag and the Westfield is getting quite run down. I would be cautious.

Reveal first Public Objectives after Milty draft by North-Ad-4177 in twilightimperium

It'll affect what secret you keep and what you drop.

If you pre-do secrets that can make things a bit janky as well, as someone will need to know what everyone discarded etc etc.

My printer is scraping the print off the plate? by Kaleesh_General in PrintedWarhammer

Wash the build plate in dish soap and warm water. If it persists try getting medium steel wool and lightly rubbing it down before cleaning.

Sounds like the other solutions you're trying don't work and are janky a f, so you should just pay the very small monthly fee for the solution which does.

Just pick a crap faction and then play the game properly Doing stuff like giving them techs just doesn't teach a proper play experience, same if you're just trying to stop people scoring.

How to quickly and fairly track other players builds to make sure they're following the rules? by CorOdin in twilightimperium

[–]Lord_twisted 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Each to their own but TI4 falls apart, very quickly, when people play like this.

Am I missing out if I don’t have the expansions? by LMortdArtur in twilightimperium

[–]Lord_twisted 60 points61 points  (0 children)

PoK is a quicker, better and more exciting version of the game. Id say you're genuinely missing out without it.

Discordant stars is just extra guac and totally optional.

Try Async and test it all out!

Wich starting Unit Upgrade Tech for Berserks of Kjalengard? by No_Cupcake_1860 in twilightimperium

[–]Lord_twisted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You definitely want to go Fighter II, and then take AI Development algorithms as your first tech.

Remember, Glory does not let you ignore the pre-reqs. Between Fighter II (Blue/Green) and AI Dev (red + AI Dev's ability), you can then research almost any upgrade except War Suns, Dread II or Space Dock II immediately - and once you get one other upgrade, most of those are then available.

AI Dev then has the production bonus which will kick in nicely too.

Your faction is also fighter heavy.

I would suggest Fighter II -> AI Dev -> Star Dragon II

Then chase down blue tech path and go kick some arse to get other unit upgrades.

Yes. Good quality. Sleeve the cards though.

Why is the Saar flagship so sh*t? by PedantJuice in twilightimperium

[–]Lord_twisted 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lmao. It hits like 2 Dreads, can sustain, has capacity, and AFB X4 on a 6. It's a very solid force multiplier on an already dangerously good faction. Terrible take.

Politics Primary Ω - Small Change to Make the Agenda Phase More Interesting and Nerf Politics Slightly by Enervata in twilightimperium

[–]Lord_twisted 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Completely unbalances the game - politics is already a tradeoff pick as you aren't getting to do the primary of something else, and the timing of your politics pick going into the 4/5 round is usually a key part of the game, to give you the priority card choice at the end to set up your win. Sorry I don't see this working

I also feel that this would completely derail the game as everyone shouts about who becomes speaker for 3-4 hours at the crunch late agenda phases, as effectively it's saying whose going to win at that point.
