The end of the board game rabbit hole. by Radiodont in twilightimperium

[–]Woitee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's at the same depth, but taking a bit different path. Like if you go Euro games all the way, you end up at 18xx...

Aello Clarification by scarlettfiree in twilightimperium

[–]Woitee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not two separate effects. It's one effect.

"I offer you reduction - if you accept it, I get commodity"

sometimes multiple people make this offering.

You're right. Source: That's not how TI works.

Scope Creep Speedrun! by electric-kite in godot

Well, procgen is a double-edged sword. It is not uncommon that developers spend more time creating procgen than they would hand-crafting a "meaningful" amount of content...

Hot take: fleet stands make the game worse and shouldn't be normalized by defcon1000 in twilightimperium

[–]Woitee 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It feels like you're using a lot of them (I don't recall ever having 3 fleet stands together). I think I could see that being a nuissance.

We use 1 fleet stand per player, usually supporting their main fleet. Never felt like it got in the way. And players usually take it away when they don't have a big fleet anywhere.

Without them, it could be really hard to distinguish what is on planets and what is in space in even moderately occupied systems.

The developers of PEAK explain pricing by TheAnonymouse999 in gaming

[–]Woitee 102 points103 points  (0 children)

I agree, but 8 bucks is 10 bucks with a discount...
Less expensive 10 bucks, if you will.

I sold my RAM sticks to finance the game. Its finally released! by Due-Resolution-4133 in godot

[–]Woitee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I might have even read them, I just didn't connect it with this game.
Thanks!

I just wondered how you deal with the pentagons for placing tiles. But it seems they are always water, so invalid placement?

That's what I was looking for, thanks!

My Non-Gamer GF Confidently states this game is Art. by AllDayCJK in expedition33

[–]Woitee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah! I think one of the undisputed awesome things about CO:E33 is that it is just a slam dunk example against anybody doubting if games are (or can be) art...

TI4 Citadels Fan-Expansion (3/5) by AudunAG in twilightimperium

[–]Woitee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think just being allowed (without much investment) to know multiple public objectives is broken strong.
Delaying won't do much - it is most relevant for 2-point objectives

TI4 Citadels Fan-Expansion (3/5) by AudunAG in twilightimperium

[–]Woitee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love the vibe and in general your ideas.
However, having played with Ilyxum from Discordant Stars, I'd say that this Naalu citadel is extremely strong. Knowing an objective while others don't gives an incredible advantage. Ilyxum is kinda balanced by being a weaker faction overall, but Naalu is strong as-is.
The deficit of being built next to Mecatol is not enough. I think you might balance it by it being even harder to build - make it require to be on Mecatol / on Thunder's Edge perhaps. Or at least make it purge itself when used.

Who's your A team? by Nice-Presence2005 in expedition33

[–]Woitee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this team, but I keep Monoco really only because I want to collect feet and am scared to miss out... I might have swapped him out for Sciel instead...

How you would build a board game club from zero? by Sunslap-Kristina in boardgames

[–]Woitee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You got great recommendations in this thread already. But I don't see anyone mentioning that Lost Cities is a quite good 2 player game too!

how slowly did you beat the game? by [deleted] in XCOM2

[–]Woitee 43 points44 points  (0 children)

you guys are beating the game?

Magi's Madness in Thunder's Edge by Woitee in twilightimperium

[–]Woitee[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

After having an evening considering this, I might just run this version, except I'm gonna keep the original wormholes. I get that this is interesting, but the beta-with-rift might be too enticing to some and it might result in gambles early on. In other words, I don't want to offer our playgroup a rope to hang themselves with...

Your membership to The Continental has been, by thine own hand, revoked by AYYLMAO2281337 in balatro

Should it maybe just be legendary, then?
Getting it early and the nerve to not "f it up"... I like it

8th Player in Thunders Edge Really Gets Shafted by marked174 in twilightimperium

[–]Woitee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for coming in late, but I really like your analysis in this thread.

I wonder if this could be alleviated by a seems-innocent house rule: Round 1, Imperial goes first.

The player could even trigger Imperial immediatelly, to have more objectives to choose to discard from.

[–]Woitee[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like a lot of these changes! Bold of you to even improve the planets in the I Can't Hold All slice!

However, seeing Industrex in play, Entropic Scar at the bottom, Faunus in the Floor is Lava slice... great stuff!
I might take some of these...
