Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Think Like A Finalist
Q: What was your winning move in the final?
Alex scored two action-phase secret objectives, Betray a Friend and Unveiled Flagship, then used Fleet Logistics to play Imperial and reach ten points. He had kept a low profile while other players focused on more visible threats.
Think Like A Finalist
Q: How did you overcome the rough start in your day-one game?
When his planned opening fell apart because nobody selected Technology, Adam abandoned his original plan and focused on scoring the available objectives, then later negotiated for Silver Flame to enable a Become a Martyr win.
Stories and Strategy from Bristol and the ECC
Q: What rule change would you make to Twilight Imperium?
Ghazi would make ground combat less one-dimensional, while keeping the focus on space, and Charlie suggests adding another ground unit or tactical choices to make combat more varied.
Stories and Strategy from Bristol and the ECC
Q: How did your Argent game at Bristol go, and where did your frustration come from?
Charlie built two War Suns as planned, but a Signal Jam immobilized his fleet at the start of round four. The table was otherwise passive, and Crash Bandicoot won after scoring a five-point round.
The Man UK Twilight Imperium Could not Live Without: TI4 Labs & Async
Q: If you were Dane or in charge of the rules, what's something you would change about the game?
James would rework the speaker system, which he feels can make competitive games revolve around securing key strategy cards, and would also consider improving the technology tree.
