From Stardock Central to Impulse in Everything Else Elemental Forums

Hey, I'm wondering if there is a way to transfer my unused tokens from SC to Impulse? I would like to use them to pre-order Elemental... Thanks

[quote who="E_MacLeod" reply="14" id="1954257"]... though graphics are the least of my interests relative to this game. =D [/quote] Amen to that. I played Star Wars Rebellion for so long. It had really basic graphics. A good game doesn't absolutly need nice graphics. Many companies try to hide a bad game behind beautiful graphics and this behavior sucks! I really love also the art style. That's really interesting and one of the reason behind this is great (old computers b

ah ok, I thought you could be from QC. Yeah I know about the learning game... My 2 other friends will read the rules also before, that should help a little. And yes, actually, it's quite simple and I was surprised of that. I own War of the Ring and I found it much more complicated, especially when you play 2-3 games in a row (holidays) and wait 1 year to play it again hehe. Karma +1 for everybody who answered my original post!

Ok thanks for the clarification! I wanted to go over the rules a second time before my first game, but with your explanations, I'll take a closer look when I read. Hey vieuxchat, with the nickname you have, I presume you speak french? Where are you from?

Reply to Twilight Imperium boardgame in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

oh, I do have one question about the rules. I know, I should probably start a thread at Fantasy Flight Games, but it's already started here :) For Command Counters, how do you get some each turn and when? I understand from the rules that it's coming from you Planets Influence, but I'm not sure when to collect. I don't recall the name of it, but is it during the last Phase of a round where you reactivate (unexhaust) your planets? Keep in mind that I haven't played a game so far

I posted on boardgamegeeks.com and got a lot of answers telling me that the game is a incredible at 3 players, and a BLAST with more. Just like poker I think... It's fun with 3 people, it's awesome with 6-10 people. Also, the seller (gamer) where we bought the game (specialized store) had StarCraft and TI to sell, StarCraft being more expansive. We talked a lot with him and decided to go with TI because that's our game style. I finished reading the rules yesterday and <st

anybody out there that played 3 player games of TI? I would like to know if it's fun or if it's definitly a 5-6 player game. Thanks!

hum ok... so if "usually" we are only 3 people playing, should we buy it? Maybe there's a better war game out there for 3 people (free-for-all)?

Reply to Twilight Imperium boardgame in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

yeah, the problem I have is that we are only three to love those games. I have other friends that like this also, but they live 2h from us, so it's hard. You mean, Age of Empire the game?

Reply to Twilight Imperium boardgame in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

great then ! well, I'll buy it, thanks again all for your time and informations!

Reply to Twilight Imperium boardgame in Everything Else GalCiv2 Forums

thanks for the replies guys. I know that kind of games take forever to setup. I own Axis&Allies and The War of the Ring. We generally are 3 to play together, so playing Axis or WotR is not the best because it's always 2 against 1. That's why I'm looking at Twilight Imperium... because this game is free-for-all right? Thanks again.

Hi, I'm planning on buying this boardgame really soon. I've had it in my mind for quite some time and I'm decided now :) I'm currently reading the rules on their website, and I'm starting to see some similarity between this and GalCiv2. Anyway, any of you have tried this board game? Is it good? Is it worth it? Thanks in advance for your input.

I haven't verified the wonderful list you posted BradenK, but here are my all-time favorites: 1- Falcon (boring I know hehe) [mod. YT-1300] 2- Outrider (Dash Rendar's ship -> Shadows of the Empire) [YT-2400] 3- Tie Interceptor (slick design) 4- X-Wing (the good old starfighter) 5- Lambda-Class shuttles (another very nice design) You probably know that, but a very good but limited place to look for ships and stats is in SW Rebellion (the databank in the game).

It was indeed a great game. It was great to duel your friends in lightsaber combats. Also, in my opinion, I would like to add that the whole Dark Forces serie was a success: - Dark Forces 1 - Dark Forces 2 (or Jedi Knight 1) - Jedi Knight - Mysteries of the Sith - Jedi Knight 2 - Jedi Outcast - Jedi Knight 3 - Jedi Academy For those titles, combined with the X-Wing serie and SW Rebellion, LucasArts were on top of the art from my perspective. Now they slippe

[quote]Well, first the diplomacy in Sins is terrible, and second there are diplomacy models in a number of RTS's. The one that readily comes to mind is Rise of Nations. Anyway, it's simply important for people to know, IMO, that this IS an RTS. It owes a lot to Total Annihilation, a lot to Homeworld, and at best a tiny amount to anything turn based. People that don't enjoy RTS games are going to be disappointed, especially if they come in expecting something with the depth of a turn based game.

I currently have 0 time to play multiplayer games (and single player) and you will probably be releasing GC3 before I get some hehe. Anyway, this is great news (the GalCiv3 thing).

This Interdictor idea has been discussed many many times in the BETAs. You will find this out by doing a search of the forums.

First, Stardock has chosen to not protect their CD you know why? Because
