10+ games of ti4 - Danish Ti3/Ti4 Grp

By AzuriKdk, in Twilight Imperium

Hi Guys,

I'm part of a Ti3/Ti4 group in Denmark, we play roughly 1 ti3 (now ti4) game a week.

I was wondering if other people have had the same disappointing experience, in regards to the stuff FFG put into the game. I was really hoping with an more "grandios" game (compared to ti3 + ti3 exp)?

- That said i love the way they stream lined the game.

- But i miss the grandness of ti3 strategy-side.

I watched the ti4 documentary today, i noticed that they talked about individual race-ships, (As in Eclipse). i would really love to see an expansion that added individual race-ships.

Of course it would be costly, but i really wouldn't mind paying fx. 400 USD for an really grand ti4 game. Yes it is a lot of money but this is supposed to be an grand game ?

Am i the only with this view?

Regards from Denmark

Since TI4 is so similar to TI3 could you give more specific examples of what you mean by missing the " grandness of ti3 strategy-side"?

I like the idea of race specific sculpts but they would make the game extremely confusing to look at. We already have people complaining about mixing up influence and resources. Mixing up ships is deadly.

Yeah, the only possible "race-specific sculpt" I could get behind would be a single flagship, and then only if it were so over-the-top that you needed only to glance at it to know, "Oh yeah, that's their flagship." I really don't want to have to consult a graphic reference every time I look at the board to remember which one is the N'orr cruiser and which is the N'orr carrier.

Also, +1 to Dweomer's question; what strategy are you missing?

Oh yes! +1 on the flagship sculpt. FFG, make it so!
