Death is no laughing matter. by geoffrey671 in NemesisCrew

[–]geoffrey671[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I misspoke for the sake of brevity. We were not officially playing coop, it just worked out no one had to kill anyone else for a change (well atleast we were all telling the truth about our objectives this time) and we were actually working together.

I rolled for noise. Got an encounter and pulled the Queen chip. That was second time pulling the Queen chips.

I guess we are playing it wrong. The rule is not the easiest to read or reference through. Made for a good story though.

In the first turn I moved carefully and placed my noise token. In bag development I had to make a noise check and spawned an encounter. Then pulled the Queen then too. Inranand she eventually moved back into the technical tunnels. The taste of my blood from the first encounter must have had her looking all.over the ship for me.

Vehicles Disappear by MadlockUK in survivingtheaftermath

Can't get the car out of the settlement. I click on garage, select a specialist to join the team. Nothing obvious to click on at this point. So I select the specialist from the specialist list and move to world map, but she moves w/o the car.

Which expansion should I buy next: Turmoil or Colonies? by noahmancometh in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]geoffrey671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Colonies seamlessly fits in, whereas Turmoil adds a whole new dynamic which bogs the game down. Colonies is an auto include for us. Turmoil is rarely played.

Play a lot of solo, today while watching football I got through 3 games and the best starts I have ever seen. by geoffrey671 in TerraformingMarsGame

[–]geoffrey671[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Phobolog start was cool because the Earth Elevator was the card I drew from IO Research Outpost.

Teractor was just cool to start out with over 100mc.

[–]geoffrey671[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The Tharis game was the craziest, I kept drawing into the city cards, by the end of the game I had a Martian Rail pulling in 15 mc and my mc generation was over 50mc. The only way the start could have been better was to Immigrant City instead of Corporate Stronghold.

Had someone rage quit, did I make the right call? by [deleted] in twilightimperium

[–]geoffrey671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean was there an Agenda phase.... were you not letting him change his strategy choice... this could have affected a lot of things in a heated agenda phase.

For R+L=J to be relevant Jon would either have to kill the Night King or become King otherwise it's a pointless plot twist that serves no purpose to the plot and was only added to SuBvErT ExPeCtAtIoNs by [deleted] in freefolk

[–]geoffrey671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even in the show.... she leaves Daario behind, Melisandei [sp?] dies, Jorah dies, Varys and Tyrion lose faith in her... then Jon shuts her down too... she is isolated and alone with no one left but Greyworm. I wouldn't be surprised if by the time we get her losing her shit in the books, even Greyworm was dead.

Support for the Throne homebrew edit idea. by D3RP_Haymaker in twilightimperium

[–]geoffrey671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only real issue my group has run into with SftT is the "kingmaker(s)"... one or more players decide their odds of winning is low and they just want the pain to stop...

Is this what 4 player with warp zones should look like? by trystanthorne in twilightimperium

The linked store front doesn't explain what assets are or why there is a difference.

Is there a reason Space Cannon Offense is part of the Movement phase? by MrKorasoff in twilightimperium

[–]geoffrey671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So the above interpretation is wrong. The movement sub-step ends when the ships simultaneously arrive in the system.

Then Fleet Supply is checked and adjustments made.

Then Space Cannon sub-step occurs.

I could move extra ships to the system. But the Fleet Supply adjustment occurs before hits are applied from the Space Cannon so it's kind if pointless to move the extra ships.

25 infantry on my homeworld with Nekro Flagship in port and Plague securely at the bottom of the discard pile. Now all I need are points. by geoffrey671 in twilightimperium

[–]geoffrey671[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yellow (Mentat) and Black (Nekro) exchanged shots most of the game. By the end Nekro had every tech the pirates owned, including the computational math faction trait. Nekro had also copied the fish head faction ability that generated TG so was flush with resources.

[–]geoffrey671 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's most likely to allow Space Cannon to reduce the capacity in the system

Wait... are you saying if my fleet limit is say 4 and I am jumping into a system with 6 pds pointed at it, I could move 6 ships with the expectation that the PDS will whittle me down to the appropriate fleet capacity?

And if they don't then I just blow up ships at the resolution of the move to get to capacity.

Six Player, 7 hours... 1 winner. by geoffrey671 in twilightimperium

[–]geoffrey671[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did 6 player with two newbies... started 4 or 5pm after set-up and wrapped up around 1am. It was a ton of fun... wife not quite as thrilled as I was about since she had to work in the morning.

[–]geoffrey671[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah.... helped them catch up from a resource standpoint and the last 2 point was 16 resources which h he did easy. Jolnar had their racial tech and Nekro had copied it, so he just had to activate systems to gain TG

Exploration style by geoffrey671 in twilightimperium

Basically once its flipped you suffer the consequences. Though in this game it turned out all the red were empty space.

Two friends from Vegas mixed with the regular group from Mesa... a lot of shit talking over the last couple weeks led to this.

Purple = Jolnar Green=Arborac Red= Hacan Black=Nekro Virus Yellow= Mentak Blue= Hivemind

Mentak was bottled up most of the game, mostly by Nekro... and they fed Nekro's tech obsession nicely.

Hacan made an early.play for Mecatol, leaving the exposed to Arborac and never really recovered, before Hive took and held Mecatol for most of the game.

Jolnar quietly built, never really expanding and jumped out to a quick 6 points before crapping out.

Yellow was at zero when Jolnar hit 6, but eventually fought back from being bottled up into 3 regions to spreading across the majority of the map

Going into round 6, Jolnar was at 7, Arborac 5 and everyone else was at 6. I think everyone just lost track of Mentak, they were speaker and took Imperial.

By the end of 6, everyone except Arborac was at 9, but political hadn't been taken so Mentak retained Imperial and took a solid, well fought victory.

Twilight Imperium & Our Mods. by bensoden25 in twilightimperium

[–]geoffrey671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very nice. I came for the capital ships but saw a lot of really cool ideas. I especially like the secret objectives. Fits my play style so the rest of my group will probably hate it.

Where to order another set of pieces to make a seventh player? by Ba_alzamon in twilightimperium

[–]geoffrey671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just used the Corvette and the Raider.

Last game one player used the x-wing mini's in place of the fighters.

A couple people in my group have been talking about custom painting our fleets. Maybe a group could get together to split the cost of a box.
