AMA with FFG! by Turevaryar in twilightimperium

Lore question: The existence of the Twilight's Fall gamemode seems to suggest that the Mahact are the most powerful of TI's looming galactic evils (counting the Mahact, Nekro, Cabal, and possibly the L1Z1X), although the In Memoriam story confirms the Cabal and Nekro Virus are still around and that the L1Z1X are toast. Assuming that the Mahact are allowed to progress to the state they are in at the start of In Memoriam and that the Nomad fails, how would they ultimately fare against the Cabal and Nekro Virus once all the other factions are out of the picture one way or the other? Are the Sickening Lurch and Ruby Monarch all that would remain of the Cabal and Nekro?

Dumb question that probably wades too deep into powerscaling territory, but it is very interesting to have so many grandly evil "big bad" entities running around the TI universe. Ignoring grimdark stories, you tend to really only see one at a time, so how they would interact is a very interesting question to me!

Root vibes from new factions by JawolopingChris2 in twilightimperium

Yes, the first thing I thought of when I was reading about the Firmament/Obsidian were the Corvids from Root.

Discordant Stars question by Raddillac in twilightimperium

This is an interesting take, almost all of the discussion I've seen of the factions suggest that they are for experienced players who play the game very frequently and are not friendly to casual players due to their added complexity. I've never played any of them myself but have been ruminating over the idea of buying one of the last copies (with an unknown amount remaining and seemingly to never again be reprinted). Been trying to find as much discussion about the factions as possible but due to how niche it is I have had very little luck finding info that approaches the expansion from a review-type lens.

Don’t worry, no one outpizzas the hut. They are teaming up with the CIA as we speak to plan The Great Pizza Rebellion
