Space Cats Peace Turtles379: Super Sardakk N'orr Guide (THE FINAL SUPER GUIDE)With this episode Matt and Hunter have completed a two year cycle of covering every single faction in TI to the deepest of our ability. It's been a long journey and we didn't get everything perfect (give us one more go around!) but we did pack a lot of very good detail into all of these guides. They should stand as a great resource until the oncoming codex four wipes out their relevancy! For this final guide we dive into the bug boys of Sardakk N'orr, a faction that is not great but is very fun and has very...2024-11-271h 45

Space Cats Peace Turtles341: Arcs - Resources and the Court DeckMore Arcs! We're having a lovely time learning this new game and before we start diving into guides for different Leaders and eventually getting into the Campaign expansion (where we'll spend most of our time), we needed one more episode covering the basics. We've talked about the limited action economy of the game and alluded to the fact that you are able to improve upon it, but it's time to discuss that in depth! Resources and the Court Deck are your key to improving your action set and taking better control of the game, so let's learn about them!2024-03-071h 49

Space Cats Peace Turtles340: Super Universities of Jol-Nar Strategy GuideLet's do another Faction Strategy Guide! Universities of Jol-Nar are discussed a lot. They've been around since the very beginning, and in every edition of the game they've been a powerful faction. They have a -1 to combat and that just doesn't seem to hold them back!

Space Cats Peace Turtles339: Twilight Imperium Second Edition OverviewLet's travel back in time to the year 2000! FFG was still a young company and Christian T. Petersen decided to take another stab at the design of our favorite game. At times, Second Edition almost feels like the version lost to time. It's quite simple in it's approach to the game and it chooses to add very little over the course of it's life. It's mostly just a refinement of the rules of First Edition, but let's take a closer look to see what that means. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or...2024-02-211h 22

You can refer back to episode 333 to hear our Learn to Learn guide about the game, but now we're going to start getting more specific! We wanted to kick things off with a component episode where we cover the Actions in the game as well as the Ambitions you'll be using to score points and win. There's a lot to chew on and we're really only at the surface, so get ready for a lot of Arcs episodes to come. Music provided...2024-02-071h 46

Space Cats Peace Turtles336: Super Clan of Saar GuideDespite the chaos in both our lives, Matt's ready with another Super Faction Guide! Due to the wonders of Async, Matt's found a lot more opportunity to work on guides and this is one that definitely benefited from that since he got to play big meaty games with Clan of Saar legends TheDeftPiper and Imsen. This is a powerful faction whose strategy is more about pumping the breaks a bit so you aren't the premiere target at the table. How can you preserve peace when you show up to the party with your knife collection? Music provided...2024-01-311h 50

Space Cats Peace Turtles335: Guide to the PrelimsThe Prelims are already a couple of weeks underway and we're learning a LOT.

Today, we're just starting out by offering up advice to those interested in checking out the game and how to go into it with the right mindset. What kind of game does Arcs feel like to play?

Space Cats Peace Turtles330: Democracy Quest 400 - Definitive Edition: Flight of the Federal Reserve Bank Note for Nintendo SwitchIt's that time of year again! These Twilight Imperium factions have been out here all year running amok and making us look stupid because last year we did a really good faction ranking but you all played wrong. So we've adjusted some numbers and let you all contribute as little as we could possibly allow and now we have the true Definitive Ranking of all faction in the game. This time we mean it!

Space Cats Peace Turtles329: Hunter’s Journey Through the QualifiersHunter has been playing in this year's Patreon Tournament Qualifiers since October. He's had about a half dozen games and he's finally made it through to the Prelims! It's good timing, because we always had this week's episode slated as his chance to talk about his experience, whether he'd made it or not! So what is it like to play in your own tournament? Do people treat you differently? Probably not, right?

Well hopefully, you're someone relatively new to Twilight Imperium and a friend of yours has suggested you play Federation of Sol and you're looking to jumpstart your winrate. If so, welcome. You've made an excellent choice of faction because Sol is really good and we're here to explain why. Hopefully, you come out of this with ways to consistently do well! Also we love you.

This time, to shake things up, he's going with a fast faction that doesn't always have a way to close out games! It's the Ghosts of Creuss and actually they're maybe a little bit better than Cabal but that's just because you get more blue tech, probably... Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Space Cats Peace Turtles325: The Commentators of Twilight ImperiumWe're about halfway through this years Qualifiers in the tournament and it seemed high time we celebrate the people that make the tournament a pleasurable viewing experience! Over the years, more and more amazing folks have taken on the task of streaming games of Twilight Imperium and it takes such an immense amount of effort that there's honestly not enough praise we could heap upon them. So for now, here are their delightful voices to brighten your day... 20:13 BigAlCupaChino (https://www.twitch.tv/bigalcupachino) 33:12 Rand (https://www.twitch.tv/tijunkies) 49:36 clawforce (https://www...2023-11-152h 41

Space Cats Peace Turtles324: System Tile Tier ListYou are not prepared for this one. We have 82 system tiles in Twilight Imperium. In theory, the visuals matter quite a lot for this discussion or would at least make this go a lot faster...but then again why should it be easy? What follows is a 2 hour decent into madness to try and sort all of the system tiles into tiers. What do those tiers signify? Who knows? Is there any consistency to the sorting? Who cares? You asked for this... Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com 2023-11-082h 09

Space Cats Peace Turtles323: Super Nekro Virus GuideWe're back on that old grind. We've done "Super Guides" as our way of revisiting base game factions post-PoK, but up until this point it has also been a mark of a faction that received new components via a Codex. But from here on out, it's all faction untouched since the introduction of PoK. That doesn't mean there's nothing to say, of course! And one of the bigger factions to tackle when it comes to strange exceptions to rules and weird ways to get lost is the Nekro Virus. You could compare this faction to an old taped together...2023-11-012h 12

Space Cats Peace Turtles322: TI Zero Edition First UpdateThe Homebrewer's Guild has been hard at work on a big project. The work has been largely philosophical up until this point and it was finally time to lay track down before we design this train. So today, we'd like to catch you all up to speed on the project known as Twilight Imperium Zero Edition. This is intended to be our fun modification to Twilight Imperium and act as a stripped down, simpler version of Twilight Imperium. Exactly what form that takes will be a longer process, but for now we can talk about some of the things...2023-10-251h 56

Nick Brachmann joined us to walk through everything he's planning to add to Ahoy in its upcoming expansions and Cole Wehrle followed up with us to show us more of Arcs' development. 11:05 - The Ahoy additions add new complexity and richness to the strategy, which is something we've really been craving for that game. 44:35 - As for Arcs, we focus the conversation on the more TI-adjacent mechanics like negotiation heavy...2023-10-121h 43

We sat down with the 5 previous winners of the Patreon Tournament and got their take on the changes to the Qualifiers as well as any advice they could offer to people hoping to succeed in the tournament.

Space Cats Peace Turtles316: Playing Against the Emirates of HacanThe Space Cats are a domineering force when it comes to Twilight Imperium. They're the closest thing the game has to a mascot and when they're in game a lot of things seem to revolve around them. They've also often been accused of dramatically slowing the game down. Today we evaluate what it means to sit down at a table where the Hacan are playing, but not BY YOU. How can you utilize their wares to improve your own position? Are there things you need to do to slow them down? Is Quantum Datahub Node a death sentence for...2023-09-131h 34

Space Cats Peace Turtles315: Async [w/ the 9 of Spades]We did an episode about the Async Twilight Imperium discord (https://discord.gg/vY3nBkegkn) a while ago, but it's had a slew of major developments over recent months and it was well worth revisiting. Not to mention we wanted to have a conversation about our first Tournament Champion, The 9 of Spades, and it's his newest fascination. So it seemed best to wrap it all up in one episode together! 9 of Spades also finds himself trapped in the Dadlands with Matt and playing TI asynchronously has been a welcome return to everyone's favorite board game! 45:37 - Homebrew...2023-09-0658 min

Space Cats Peace Turtles294: Dreaming of the Future of TIThis week we got distracted and decided to run with it. We couldn't stop thinking about how we haven't seen a Codex yet this year and we just wanted to sit and dream up what sort of potential there could be to more Twilight Imperium content. We've done wishlists before, but this is a bit more off the cuff. Also we don't necessarily agree on most points, so come join us for a back and forth discussion about what we'd like to see added to TI! 0:00 - Dreaming 1:47:36 - Homebrew Review: Wekker's Bioplasmosis 1:52:46...2023-04-122h 19
