And you know Morgoth, with Mallice's space being open there's also the possibility of us using Twelve's racial PN twice before your turn to move both wormhole tokens and set up a different destination. Like, hypothetically I could move the alpha token to Mehar Xull and then you move the beta token to Nevant and move to Mehar via Mallice.

That would work if Morgoth has a movement speed of more than 1 and wasn't allied with Nom He would need me to play my action card to move anywhere other than mallice.

But if you want to buy my racial PN and use it before Morgoth goes, I'm open to offers.

Hah yeah, I miss being able to go anywhere at any time like I could as the necro. The green path is a little too turtly for my tastes.

Well, allied with Nom doesn't cause any issues since there's no units in Mehar Xull - wouldn't trigger Ceasfire/SFTT. Mehar Xull was just one example, though, there's other possibilities.

Movement, yeah that'd be more of an issue, unless he has Flank Speed or can buy your AC. The Cruisers are fast enough, just not the carrier.

For sale

- 1 Construction Rider. Ideal for players who placed docks in Sakulag when they hope to control Winnu, or to offer to travelling Greghs, Ghary's and Ghuillaume's.

- 1 Support for the Throne. Need an additional point that no-one else can also obtain? Come get it while it is hot.

How about 2 TG for the Rider, Cybernetic Enhancements for SFTT, and as long as I hold your SFTT my PDS IIs will never fire upon your ships for the rest of the game?

(edit: on top of our existing peace deal... the wording above sounds like I'm setting up some suspicious technical betrayal but no, 100% peace between us, I will never attack one of your systems SFTT or otherwise)

You have a deal for the Rider
For the SFtT I want to have a long, hard look at the board to see where this would take me.

[Imperial Historian]

Re the construction rider and dreks construction ability... Would that mean that mean the space dock was placed in the agenda phase? So d'rek would exhaust planets in the agenda phase to build, then refresh all her planets? If so I think you've undersold yourself there Tapper

[twelve]

So I'm looking for some advice. Trying to figure out what build would give me the best shot of making it through next round. Should I build my flagship and 4 fighters, 2 dreads and 4 fighters or something else?

The flagship with what I'm likely to face gives me 4 shots versus 2 for the two new dreads but the dreads hit 20% more often and it gives me 1 more hit to work with. So the age old question of quantity vs quality.

[Imperial Historian]

I use this to work out odds:

http://alphamou.se/ti4calc/

Generally it's surprising how much difference an extra ship can make, but your flagship is probably more bang for your buck with your limited fleet capacity.

[twelve]

I've got the best fleet capacity of any race at the moment. I could build 4 cruisers and 2 fighters if I want which is similar to what the flagship would give me in terms of firepower with a couple extra hits available. I'll try that link out when I get a chance.

[D'rek]

Looking over everyone's status posts, wow a lot of big fleet supplies! Tatts with 5, IH with 6?! Wow! But other than Morgoth and I everyone is at 2 or less strategy pool... and I promised not to play LEADERSHIP first turn. Twelve and Nom obviously won't play their strategy cards right away, but everyone else could and the secondaries would be miserable. I'm guessing Khell definitely will (PDSs to Bereg and Mecatol?) and no reason for Morgoth, Tapper or IH not to, either. Tatts could ruin a lot of people's days by playing right away Trade and giving no free refreshes. Yikes.

You should totally all do this

[D'rek]

And on that note... I should point out that I'm still holding my racial PN, which gives you an extra strategy CT. Consider it for sale

You didn't know about that battle calculator? I thought everybody's been using it! Don't forget to click on the options to bring up further customisations.

I refuse! I prefer to believe in the hearts of my little ship captains!

You know d'rek it really is a pleasure watching you work. And I'll trade you my racial PN for yours if you use it first turn.

[twelve]

Hmm interesting. According to that simulator having 5 dreads is better than 3 and my flagship. Though when I did some mock simulators on my own I got slightly better results with my Flagship. What to do? what to do?

Or you could hand it to me in recompense for stealing Leadership. I'm not holding my breath however.

Hey, so I must have a racial PN too right? What does it even do?

[Khellendros]

Ooh, IH, it might be perfect for you! Take Bereg without casualties!

[Galactic Council]

Sorry for not being here today folks - it looks like all the strategy cards are chosen, so I'll put a custodian post in there just so that you guys can start playing, but that's all I have time to do for now.

Take 2 days sick from work and it seems like shit has gone down!!! I've been trying to just get through emails all day! I'll certainly do a proper map update later!

And also you don't take any casualties and get to move those infantry somewhere you might want them. I'll take your racial PN instead of the 1tg?
