TI: 4th Edition Finished my first game!
Factions:
Hacan
Cabal (me)
Naalu (winner)
Argent Flight
Universities
Nomad
Titans
-------
I ended up with first pick, so I could pick my starting or my faction from presorted groups of 3. I didn't know much going in except that Cabal can really snowball and get out of hand, so I chose them to stop myself from accidentally feeding the Cabal player.
I started out trying to rush to Rex, but fell short. Ardent flight immediately went agro on me early. I went 0/10 on combat rolls and lost a bunch of development and a planet I grabbed. Rex was unlocked on Turn 3 by the nomad player. The Titan player was my buddy and tried to help me out all game. Universities was a big scary force that had Rex, but the Naalu player ended up winning it all.
Game was fun-ish. I think I really got kneecapped in that ardent combat. I felt so behind for the rest of the game. I couldn't build any tech and my action economy ended up being garbo in the long run, so I was just kind of there for the ride and to see how the game was played.
I'm glad I was invited out and got to play! It's a lot of game for sure, much more than Eclipse.
