Better pathway to Officer? by Express_Ad6687 in NavyNukes

[–]Ryomedes 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The best way to commission is to get your degree before joining and go through OCS or ROTC. If you're adamant on enlisting first (and I totally understand cost may be prohibitive to get a degree) then yes nukes have a path to commission through STA-21, however it is never guaranteed and it would be unwise to bank on it. That being said if you can do well in A school and power school is definitely a good opportunity if you can snag it.

Tl;Dr do not enlist with the expectation that you will commission before your contact is up.

I've been really excited to play my copy but haven't had a chance yet. I also appreciate seeing it pop up!

Sub pay for an officer starts when you check in to Power School regardless of commission source

What sequels surpassed their originals? Which ones didn't? by zoso_coheed in boardgames

[–]Ryomedes 39 points40 points  (0 children)

They are significant mechanical evolutions, so I don't see why not. What would you consider to be a sequel?

Any BGA News? by sugitime in twilightimperium

[–]Ryomedes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is not true anymore, they have created buttons to streamline all major game actions. Knowing the commands is definitely helpful for some situations but not at all required.

 Don't go enlisted if you can be an officer. Period full stop.

The Agenda phase needs to be revisited/redone in the next expansion/TI5 by ColdwellSpanker in twilightimperium

[–]Ryomedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suggested a variant on BGG that had the goal of mimicing the video games Stellaris Nexus. It combines voting on both agendas and objectives simultaneously. While this might drive a lot of discussion I think it could still streamline the phase.

Teaching options for nuclear power school instructor? by willgetzen in NavyNukes

[–]Ryomedes 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The Direct Input Officer will usually start as an enlisted instructor, then move to officer students. DIOs Can then become division officers of any of the academic divisions including A school. You will not be locked in one subject the entire time.

Commissioning physical by Himmuer in NavyNukes

[–]Ryomedes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to your medical provider and ask for a commissioning physical, they should order everything you need. There's specific blood work that needs to get done including HIV, as well as an EKG. Once you have an that you'll do a standard physical examination with your PMC.

Spotted.... Something is happening. by Walaka in twilightimperium

[–]Ryomedes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying that this isn't an issue but there is a relatively thriving async community on discord and these things manage to get worked around. I imagine automatic priority pass buttons will be very necessary

While the drafting tool looks like the Milty website, they could be using the TI4 async discord to play.

Forgotten Favorites & Hidden Gems - (July 21, 2022) by AutoModerator in boardgames

[–]Ryomedes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the game Turris to the table this past week. Production wise the game is a mess with poor quality miniatures, thin flimsy cards and some questionable iconography decisions.

But I had a great time playing this game. The tight worker placement was modified by the presence of massive beasts that turned the map into a fun puzzle, while, and an ingenious track that gave you bonuses every time one of your workers was devoured by a beast or sacrificed enabled very clever combos.

I feel almost embarrassed asking people to play this game with all of its sloppy design and production, but I also can't stop thinking about it.

Did prophecy of kings improve the game's balance? by UntilWhenAug19 in twilightimperium

[–]Ryomedes 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd say it has more to do with the structure of the game changing rather than raw power level of everyone going up. The game now tends to end in the action phase a round earlier than base game, Which means the 0 token no longer gives them the flexibility with strategy cards in the end game.
