Pretty exciting!!

[Imperial Historian]

Ooooh. Looks good! Hopefully we will all be less busy when it comes out!

[Blend]

7 new races, 40 new hexes (including a Wormhole Nexus!) and some additional gameplay elements (mech units, new leader, exploration and action cards!).

I think it's gonna be real interesting to see what all comes with it! I'm particularly excited to see the new races!

[Morgoth]

Ooh, that looks neat!

[Tattersail_]

It does. Increase in numbers from 6 to 8 and we've been playing with 9.

[D'rek]

Oh god it's real and enormous

[Itwæs Nom]

We gonna play in the meantime tho?

[Blend]

For some further information!

[Blend]

It's called Prophecy of Kings.

7 Brand New Factions, including The Mahact Gene-Sorcerers and The Argent Flight.

40 new system tiles, including hyper lane tiles.

2 new faction colours (original game only has 6, we have 9)

3 New Leaders for every faction, including old and new factions, which will add a new level of strategy.

New mech units which add fire power for planetary battles.

Several new cards of every type (including objectives).

Release is November 2020.

Unboxing live stream happening tomorrow. Hoping they'll post the video after so that I can watch it!

Well do we have enough interest to get a game up and running?

I know Tapper's out, I think Khell and/or Morgy said he'd be out - that's 2 of our regular players.

I sorta faded away after having started to prep for the next game cause I went home to visit family and when I got back I had seen that not a single post had been made in the meantime. If there is enough interest, I could prolly get a game up and running. I'd much prefer to play though!

Seven new factions is crazy amount. Crazy.

Mallice/wormhole nexus is official again now. There's exploration decks, too, so when you're the first to reach a planet you draw from a deck of the corresponding type (hazard/culture/economic) and get some bonus/penalty.

Woooo official pink ships!

Seems like leaders are essentially more special unique faction abilities, similar to a faction's existing abilities, but they unlock over time and the last one is a one-use only ability. The Muaat get their "turn a system into a supernova" ability again

This one is surprising. It's not just vanilla mech units from 3rd edition coming back, the mech units have unique abilities like flagships do.

Apparently there's some changes to strategy cards, too.

Yeah, COVID has made things busier for me, too, so I don't mind having the extra time from putting the games on hold for a bit. But I do have time to play (though perhaps not chat as much in the chat thread) if someone really wanted to start one up.

[Imperial Historian]

I'd love to play, to busy to mod unfortunately.

Expansion certainly sounds interesting!

[Blend]

Havent watched it yet, but I am about to!

I am taking a bunch of pics of new cards and race sheets and stuff which I will post later.

2 new techs of each colour!!

[Blend]

74 leaders total.

There are three types of leader per faction - an Agent, which each faction starts the game with, a Commander, and a Hero.

Legendary planets are planets that come with special ability cards.

There are 4 legendary planets including Mirage and Mallice.

Mechs are not tech, so cannot be copied by the Nekro virus. Each faction has a unique mech. They start unlocked.

[Blend]

Exploration cards: 3 decks of cards which match the planet traits. Nothing bad happens from Exploration, nothing super extreme either except when drawing from the frontier deck.

[Blend]

Removing agenda cards that affect a specific planet from the agenda deck. They will now be discoverable via exploration.

[Blend]

Both secret and public objectives have been doubled. Tech objectives are removed.
