Thanks for making this tutorial video. Some parts of the rules are a little abstract and there are hardly any videos on the current version. This helped clear everything up, much appreciated. The vassle module you made looks great too, nice work! ;)

[@Bridger15]

Glad it helped!

I enjoy playing it 2 persons - the strategy is a bit different, as it is more about getting the right allied Non-playing major powers on you team and the ones you don't want on the other side. of course there are no negotiations, but I liked it with two. And are going to try with 3 player in the comming weekend.

From what I’ve seen of this game, I would describe it as Twilight Imperium but based on land rather than in space. Would people say that’s accurate?

[@Bridger15]

The mechanics are not the same at all, neither is the victory condition, but the essence of the games is similar (negotiation, alliances, backstabbing, manipulation, etc.).

[@craftsmenMC]

@@Bridger15 yeah that’s what I was getting at. The mechanics are very different, but both have diplomacy and player interaction baked into the game.
