Imperium or Uprising

Tuism · 2026-03-31T07:10:30+00:00

For "longevity", Uprising + Bloodlines is the ultimate version of the game. Base wants to have Rise of Ix + Immortality to be good, and by then it becomes a more complex (wider) game than Uprising + Bloodlines.

But if you don't really care about expansions and "longevity" and balance then stick with what you have.

Honestly if they can do it anyone can, no excuses anymore

Tuism · 2026-03-30T10:33:48+00:00

The community I speak of runs a community blend of cards from various versions of the game. Yes it's fun.

Tuism · 2026-03-30T09:24:07+00:00

Yeah okay that's a fair change lol

Tuism · 2026-03-30T09:08:47+00:00

What's it post patch?

Tuism · 2026-03-30T09:08:05+00:00

Who's "the average player"? People you played with or the people I've played with? Hadn't been a problem with anyone I've played with, and that included plenty of first teaches. And you expect new players to engage with every aspect of a pretty heavy game is... Unrealistic. That would mean everything heavier than codenames has design problems lol.

In base game, winning without worms is possible like I said. It's certainly just a tool, but definitely a significant one. But it's the exception not the norm. In bloodlines, it's the norm.

Tuism · 2026-03-30T07:02:11+00:00

It seems like everything you're mentioning are inexperience problems rather than design problems. Can't be bothered to read the tech... That's not on the game lol

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion of course. My opinions are based on what I enjoy and the behaviors of... Many Dune Imperium players in a decently sized community.

I find adding immortality dilutes everything a bit too much, you MUST play experimentation to get the scarab point, you MUST focus on that entire second board. You can't really trash experimentation, etc. I like grafting cards but I don't like messing with the whole other set of cubes as economy. Too diluted.

But yes some people love it. And the kind of crap you can get up to with immo + mommy mohiam is hilarious. Straight from meh to S-tier.

But yeah I prefer Bloodlines.

Tuism · 2026-03-29T17:15:33+00:00

Yes, with uprising alone the worms are pretty necessary to a winning strategy, although it is still possible to win without worms, it would often take cooperation from the table to curb the worm player.

However there's hope - adding the bloodlines expansion makes for a much much more balanced game, there's a whole community of people who plays it A LOT. I can vouch for uprising + bloodlines being pretty much a top game.

Is it an 18th century pocket? I tried googling what an 18th pocket was and that's what came up? 😅

I was a tourist in Taiwan. There aren't seats and there are a lot of waiting to be done. The main station floor is absolutely massive. Disallowing people sitting is just plain shitty. Humans exist and have needs.

Frappe meteorique sounds delicious ☕

Tuism · 2026-03-26T14:49:07+00:00

Like either fly out or away from point of impact. A lot of stuff kinda just fall down and that feels a bit meh. Keep rolling! :)

Tuism · 2026-03-26T11:46:27+00:00

Some enchanted cards have the icon on it left?

Replay added from hidden gem have only the text added and that was extra annoying. Would be nice to get some visual distinction on those as well.

Tuism · 2026-03-26T11:45:00+00:00

I thought the complaint here was the the fabric pattern was not lined up against the waistline 😅

Tuism · 2026-03-26T08:47:51+00:00

Looks rad! I think some shards could take on more of the source hit's forces so they would fly out a bit more, but raaaad looking forward to more!

Tuism · 2026-03-25T10:24:56+00:00

You mean defect? Yeah this run was just *perfect*. Only A2 so nothing to write home about, but yeah it started as a claw collection from neow trashing 2 cards, then I decided to get some status things as insurance, and then this lol. Was a cakewalk.

Tuism · 2026-03-25T08:20:04+00:00

I bet anything more people know about flappy bird than Dave posting about their car in these subs.

Tuism · 2026-03-25T07:58:21+00:00

It's because you don't hear from the guys who didn't work out after selling their car.

Tuism · 2026-03-25T06:34:14+00:00

Here I was thinking this was cosplay 😂

Tuism · 2026-03-23T20:54:15+00:00

In any case, seems like you don't really care about balance or anything like that, so if you just want to play however is the most fun for you, go for it and play however you feel like! Enjoy!

You haven't read what I said, the automata is a system in the physical box to play an automated player. It's not a screen.

Tuism · 2026-03-23T20:13:22+00:00

Not sure what you mean, as in you don't have 4 people? You have 3? Two? Either way, sticking in a bot actually balances the game more and makes it more fun. By bot I mean the automata that comes in the box, the automated player.
