This is a joyous day. Nut just because we've been waiting a while but CJ is now released from the mammoth job that's been editing this series. Lessons were learnt lol.

[@Glassborg]

Thanks for making this series guys. I've played Dune imperium like 12 times now with some friends. The last two times we played Rise of Ix. This series really helps me to see value in cards where I didn't see it before, simply because I lack some knowledge and experience. Thanks for helping me to see more ways of playing this game!

[@piotrek7628]

Awesome list and a ton of work! It was fun to listen to you! Lyet-Kayns, the father of Chani posing as an official on the emperor court, was truly the closest to Fremen leader before Paul appears. He's ready to quite literally die for his planet. Card design is so on point. When you "reveal" him, the Fremen become a truly convincing all at once. So beside dreadnoughts and techno would be nice to see alternative card styles promos fitting the true world's lore, and not the Hollywood's modern vision of it. Also some rebalancing would be nice. Sardukar legion should give a troop on acquire. Choam is the rich man's SMF. If it's not worth 2 points (and may more) it's at least worth 1,5, but it's almost never less than 1, and costs just 8 pers. I take this "2nd place reward" every day. Last, when you take Worm Ridders you don't actually buy the worm, it's just the mercenaries, they lure and grab a fresh worm when needed Oh, and when you buy SMF worm, you don't actually buy "the worm" either. You just convince all the conflicted parties of what's really important, left aside the inner intrigues, rivalities and interests - the Spice Must Flow. For it benefits everyone, for that you score the point. I waiting for some comments on Uprising and Immorality

[@hidden-assets]

I think we covered Immo in one of the spy satellites episodes.

[@ricktrolled4507]

ok time to do this all over again for immo in the future

*sweat smile emoji*

[@tylerlloyd83]

I once had Lady Jessica, Liet Kines and Guild Bankers. On the final round I played Lady Jessica at Research Station and drew my entire deck but one card. It was the Guild Bankers. Cost me a SMF and the game… 🤬😁

[@pmduguay]

Thanks for stating about drama and stories. I've always thought these imbalances were great additions to the game.

[@KrwawyLeon]

I agree with Shadow regarding CHOAM directorship. Most of the time, when you buy it, you usually already have 2 points from friendships and 1 or 2 from alliances. So the card gives you an additional point or two on avarage, and some bonuses, and some of those VP (Alliance) can be lost. 3/5 times it's safer to go for Spice Must Flow.

[@BlackShadow993]

Nice to know I'm not the only crazy one.

[@cloudwolf6611]

FINALLY! :) Thank you so much.

[@hidden-assets]

You're welcome!

[@sorucha8249]

Just won a game of OG imperium as paul where I managed to get liet, LJ, choam, firm grip and kwisatz (in that order). Could have gone for some spices but I was too deep into collecting cards by then

[@hidden-assets]

Sounds like a good deck!

[@jakersni9499]

Oh yeah, here we go!

[@monkeyunit4533]

I once scored actual 4 points from Choam Directorship, friendship on 3 faction and alliance on 4th. But yeah, in general I agree with Blackshadow. It's not 2 points, but it is 1 point, either from just getting the free bumps, but also because it makes some of the end game scoring like Memocorders a lot easier to fullfill.

[@BlackShadow993]

It's pretty much worth a point minimum but whether the 3rd or 4th bumps are meaningful is varied.

[@thejimmieg]

Heya #HiddenAssets I would like to request a 'how to' video for old man noobs like me. How to actually play D:I on TTS. I don't even know how to be 'seated' so I can play a solo round. Flipping all five IR cards, etc, etc, etc. I have spent a little time with general 'how to use TTS' but its not as helpful as a D:I specific tutorial. I have played a bunch of IRL D:I. I have all the expansions and some fun upgrades, but I would love to play more. Lurv the content. Keep the positive mindset going @BlackShadow993

[@hidden-assets]

Good idea! Thanks!

[@BlackShadow993]

We're trying. Also yeah, we probably should have done something like that already so we'll get on it.

[@thejimmieg]

@@BlackShadow993 thanks Shadow. Looking forward to my 'seat' at the table.

[@benjaminvliegenthart4921]

Great idea! Interested!

[@thaabitumen]

I once bought CHOAM Directorship when I was at 1 with all factions.

[@hidden-assets]

Feels good :)

[@BlackShadow993]

That's defo like best case scenario and it's good, just very uncommon.

[@cheesable]

I appreciate and notice the speech bubbles!

[@Redragonclaws]

Ever grafted in the shadows to Ghola? It's not ok

[@BlackShadow993]

There are a few Ghola grafts that are pretty not ok.

[@TheDeityRyan]

Maybe add "from ix" to the title

[@hidden-assets]

Fixed.

[@yujirohanma7551]

I always pick Sayyadina cuz I believe it's strong card but unfortunately mostly it made me just 1 VP, maximum 2 VP, but the resources that I invested wasn't worth it I guess.

[@hidden-assets]

Even once is worth it so long as doing so doesn't interfere with other point acquisition!
