Howdy! I am hosting a couple games in the coming weeks all with new players (none of us have played any Twilight Imperium editions, and I will be the only person in both games). We will be using the suggested races in both games, and I just had a few quick questions on some of the races before either game in case these situations come up.
1. Regarding the Federation of Sol’s race ability “Orbital Drop”, can this action be used multiple times in the same round to bide time and build up a huge amount of infantry? If a player wanted to, could they spend 3 turns in a row to place 6 infantry on a single planet?
2. Regarding the Emirates of Hacan’s Flagship ability ability, can you spend more than 1 trade good on a single roll? For example, if I roll a 4 and need a 7+, can I spend 3 trade goods on that single roll to make it a 7?
3. Regarding the Emirates of Hacan race ability “Arbitors” can the Hacan player both give and receive Action Cards or only give them?
4. Regarding the Universities of Joel-Nar Flagship ability, do you get 2 hits for each 9 or 10 rolled before factoring in their race ability “Fragile” which gives them a -1 to all rolls?
Thank you in advance for all your help in getting these questions answered. I’m trying to make sure I have a solid understanding of all the various possibilities before either game starts to try and avoid as many issues as possible!
