460: Top Ten Thunder's Edge Rules Questions (DANE LOOK AT THIS)
1w ago01:37:34Tap to summarizeThis week Hunty needs a break while he prepares to shuffle his entire life across the country AGAIN, don't mind him this is just what he does. In the meantime Andcat was willing to sit down the old boy to have a whistlestop discussion of all of Thunder's Edge biggest unanswered rules questions. These would be great to get some feedback on whenever Dane gets some time to work on TI stuff but in the meantime let's just critique these two dorks while they grill through the ideas potluck style.

May 602:07:13Tap to summarizeHunter, Jadiim, and Blasto are here for a roundtable discussion that had to be divided into two parts because it would have been a five hour long episode. It's tier list week over here at SCPT and we've decided now is the time to tackle all the generic technology. This wide ranging discussion is full of solid takes on the state of the game and the importance of tech overall. In this episode we tackle all the Level 0 and 1 tech of every color and we talk about Carrier 2, Fighter 2, Infantry 2, and Space Dock 2.

In this episode we fully explore the dynamics of her games and we even spoil her final in as much detail as we can muster so beware spoilers for a game that you cannot watch anyways! It's a fun conversation and if you like the sound of all of this you should really think about joining in on the next Tournament in Kansas City!

By popular demand of the Galactic Council themselves, I give you our ultimate guide to playing as the fan favorite faction of all time: The Arborec! This show has had a complicated history with this faction as they've been mostly a bottom tier faction for most of the Base Game and POK eras of TI4 but I'm proud to report that we've reached the end of that story: WELCOME TO THE SOLID B TIER ARBOREC!

Transcribe →452: Twilight's Fall Inaugural Splice *Mock Draft*
Apr 1501:47:13Tap to summarizeI hope you didn't think we were done with Twilight's Fall content, because we have no intention of stopping! This week we're trying something experimental that I enjoyed quite a bit, we decided to actually simulate an inaugural splice so we talk through some of the decision making process that goes into the initial draft. It's really clear in talking through it that there is a lot of difficult decisions to be made in this game mode. I really want to continue encouraging people to try it as it's an extremely fun way to experience this game. Anyways if you are confused by what we're talking about in this episode I would check out episode 427 about the Twilight's Fall rulebook. Music provided by Ben Prunty.
