Great video, thanks. For Gravity rifts, we have house-ruled to make them like those in TI2: - You still roll the die, but on 1-3 they are not destroyed. - Instead, they are thrown into a random adjacent system. - For each ship affected, roll a d6 to determine which way they go. (If there are less than 6 systems adjacent (eg on edge of map), then keep rolling until you get a valid roll) - If the ships end up in system with PDS, it fires - If they end up in systems with enemy ships, there is a space combat - NO invasion allowed (even if you have ground troops) It's made the Gravity Rift so much fun!

lol at the "oh nos!"

Parthians were note a tribe, they were an eastern Persian civilisation.

is the Tabletop Simulator?

Thank you for this. I read this about 18 years ago. It's great to hear. Love your channel mate.

48 minutes worth of gold :)

THANKS A LOT BROSKI! you're the man

About to play our first game, and this was an amazing reference, Thanks a BA-JILLION!

can this software be downloaded from steam? is this a steam game?

40:23 niga be crying from the book 💀Wait till you see the anime🔥

Neighbors, scoring objective? Preparing for my first game in a couple of weeks. This video is amazing. I just don't understand this one thing. Don't you need to be in a same system or adjacent to be neighbors? How could you score the objective. You can play as if the players next to you are neighbors?

Thank you for this lecture about my favourite book!

These are so good. I hope you do some more. Could you do some basic strategies?

Still helpful to this day

Great overview! Can you link to the doc you used for this video?

i know it is just a tutorial game but oh man is it painful seeing you not use diplomacy on xxacha, or producing before diplomacy was played... if you used that trade instead of producing on home, you could have had the 6 influence necessary to take mecatol, using their racial ability to planet capture on diplomacy! a big thing about xxacha is if you can get construction played after diplomacy, as they can put a spacedock on the tile they take with the planet capture, and produce there as it won't have any tokens on it!

Enjoyed it; Wish for more.

17:45 👍🏼

I love hearing your thoughts on why you are doing each action. These videos really do help a lot! I'd love to see some videos that really dig into the trading and making deals a little more as well...

Man, playing a board game in the virtual

Fyi, I think you can right click the system tile you activated and click an option to grab the planet cards for you so you don't have to search the deck. Also you can toss all your discards into the purple bag, including defeated units and explore cards. The mod is scripted to return those items where they belong. Also you can shuffle with "r" instead of having to pick up and shake the deck. You can draw cards using the number row. You can spawn commodities/tg, fighters, and infantry with 1, 2, and 3 respectively on the numpad. You can also split the 3x tokens into 3 1x tokens with "r".

Good stuff thank you

one more question, did you mean to leave a command token on the board for the Hacan on the clean up step?

Hey neat video. Really helping map out my first game. What expansion is this? Does it make the game better or worse? Seems like that exploring planet makes the game move faster but looks kinda easy.

Hey Jeff! I’ve watched all your videos - newbie here who has yet to play a game. Do you have a discord where you play? If you don’t mind a newbie playing with you and your crew

Thanks for your time and effort explaining and giving tips !!¡ I'm gonna destroy my friends one day hahaha

Haven't watched this in a while. Glad so many folks found it helpful. After my next game I will try to do some strategy as well.

playing my first game soon, very helpful. thanks atrillion

Liberty neither class oppressing the other. 😉

I liked the video!😀

Any chance you could record and upload the rest of your classes on East Asia?

Heike monogatari brought me here. Such a great anime with a superb opening song

I noticed how your description of the Hacan changed from “Space Cows” to “Fine Cat People” from this episode to the last. A changing of opinion? (;

Loving this series! Been super helpful for me. I hope you continue it!

This video may have been the must helpful TI video I’ve seen on KZbin. Nothing teaches better than seeing the rules in action. Thank you, Great job!

The sound of the Giyon Shoja temple bells echoes the impermanence of all things. The colour of the sala flower reveals the truth that to flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure -- like a passing dream on a night in spring, the mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.

Thanks for the video man ! My group just played a practice first round yesterday, so I wanted to make sure we got all the rules right and didn't mess up anything. This video was exactly what I needed !

Did that exceed fleet capacity when adding the carrier at 11:45?

I’m playing my first game of Twilight Inperium tomorrow and these video’s are really helpful! Thanks you so much!

Did you make these slides?

Thank you , I wanted long detailed lectures on Confucius

great lecture, thanks for sharing

Hello from India ! Who are you ?

i am searching for Genji and Heike documentary film. Feel sad read about ending of Heike Clan, unlike war of the roses in England which two clan (York and Lancester) unite through marriage.
