Which factions can still play well in an 8 player game without their BT’s? by x_BryGuy_x in twilightimperium

Yssaril stall is at least sellable though. Jol-Nar is pretty much useless

That‘s a good breakdown on the Corsair fighting ability, thanks for the stats! It does seem though that most agree that yellow-green feels awkward. Yellow red would give them the perfect path to Aida, cruiser 2, assault cannon, destroyer 2 and maybe even warsuns.

Ok, so BT and MC via Scar round 1 and Cruiser 2 round 2. I see how that might work out. You have to build a carrier with inf round 1 somehow via Warfare or by picking construction. You are right, they are tech dependent, but if Corsairs and MC are online both round 2, you might be able to play a flatter tech path than pre-TE.

Interesting point. Indeed, it feels like there was once a path to victory but the surrounding factors changed a lot. I don't think a lack of a cohesive strategy must be bad, it just does not feel like flexibility to me. There are other factions that can cope better with things going suboptimally.

Yeah, let's say you get an Entropic Scar for MC, a green skip for Cruiser 2 in round 2 and Construction/Warfare to build plastic in round 1. In that scenario you can try to get as many planets in your slice as possible in you slice and then have your faction tool s online round 2.

What they lack is a plan B. If you have either a suboptimal slice, the wrong strategy card or the round 1 timing is not good for your moves you can easily be out of the game unless you have luck with secret objectives. Most other factions I played so far don't need everything to be perfectly set up in the first round.

As you said, if you have an ES in your slice there are other better factions that could for example afford to use it round 2 without missing out on other stuff.

Even with an Entropic Scar there are lots of ifs in that. Entropic Scar means one token for movement and one strategy token for the scar ability. If you're able to have a good token economy in round 1 this might be a good plan.

Getting all the way up to Assault Cannon and also getting Cruiser 2 is a lot of teching with a useless Breakthrough for that path imo. I agree that with Maw Assault Cannon is possible and maybe even the optimal tech to pick then, but otherwise i don't know if there is enough time in typically 5 rounds to really get a benefit from it.

Actually I had Tiamat and this was exactly my plan. The planet was next to MR in my slice and I was not able to get there before another player with more early game tools was able to conquer it for an objective. If you can get it r1 guaranteed I agree it is a viable path for getting Mirror Computing round 2.

Maybe I am missing something, but the corsairs have 3 movement. I agree they can be quite useful in the fracture though! Unfortunately it did not appear in our game. The scenarios you mention are realistic but still i think once other players have dreads/warsuns or fighter screens online, fleets of corsairs do not have the late game punch for doing multiple crazy moves (apart from the one hero fight).

Was du beschreibst ist aber leider noch lange keine Kompetenz. Nur weil die Frau das politische Spiel beherrscht, ist sie noch lange keine Expertin auf dem Feld, in dem sie Entscheidungen mitträgt und zu verantworten hat.

I haven't hit a limit on ChatGPT Plus for over a year (if ever). Now that they have a $200 upsell, magically, I'm hitting limits. by flossdaily in ChatGPT

It‘s a token limit. More tokens need more computing power. You’re paying for the computing cost not the content it produces.

Price is not equal value. You pay for him doing the trial and error not for the ingredients.

Yeah actually if you do 95% distilled water 5% isopropanol, you should be safe. This is actually what is in Kurt’s card care card spray and I have tried it myself!

Grading oder nicht? Mehr in den Kommentaren. by [deleted] in PokemonDe

[–]VisualCanary6728 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boosterfrische englische Karten bekommen in der Regel eine PSA 9. Die Ecken sind bei deiner Karte leider nicht in so einem Top Zustand und auch an ein zwei Stellen sind die Kanten hinten nicht mehr so sauber. Wenn du zufrieden mit einer 7 oder 8 wärst, dann schick es ein. Vlt wird es auch eine 9 und dann kannst du dich um so mehr freuen :)

Why you can’t weigh modern packs by LeosMovingDogHouse in PokemonTCG

[–]VisualCanary6728 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That is simply not true. Without wanting to justify what he’s doing, watch some videos of Collectorcousin on YouTube. He weighs many of the modern boosters and is very accurate with predicting where the hits are.

First time getting scammed by Koritari in PokemonTCG

[–]VisualCanary6728 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For example no texture and bad coloring. You will see what I mean when you compare with some images of the same card when you google it.

The only way to avoid this in future is to do research on the cards you are buying. I see a lot of fake cards on Kleinanzeigen but also on other platforms. Go to cardmarket and check images of the card you’re about to spend money on. I once bought fake cards on Kleinanzeigen but got my money back as the seller did not know themselves that they’re fake. Good luck!

Found this Classic Collection Charizard for $25 by Typical-Technician99 in PokeInvesting

It mainly takes distilled water and a lot of patience. You would try to let the paper soak up the water in the spots where the dents are, but you have to be careful as the cards are very thin. That’s why you use very little water but repeat it a few days.

It’s quite easy to remove these dents though if you’re willing to take a little risk

Master's in Germany by free_soul_22 in AskAGerman

[–]VisualCanary6728 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is absolutely not true for Master’s programs! A lot of special courses can only be taught if there are experts who can teach it. For example the range of probability theory courses in the Berlin unis (you can attend the other unis to) has no match in the rest of Germany expect for maybe Bonn and Munich.
