If you are on this community there is a fair chance you have already seen this but I thought it could be an interesting thing for any newcomers that are interested in what a game of this actually looks like.

This is the Third Edition of the game so it does look slightly different but it's the same experience in the end.

This was one of the first videos I watched when I heard of this game and within a couple days I was unwrapping it and playing it 3 days in a row with my uni house mates so it's weirdly nostalgic to watch from time-to-time.

Pretty straightforward, not "what faction do you win as?" But just favourite generally to play, fun mechanics, theme etc.

Mine is probably the Mentak, I really like their pillage ability and faction techs. Having alternative ways of getting income other than trade is just very appealing. When playing them irl on the table as the literal pirate faction and extorting people then watching the reactions and pushing how far you can go with it, such as doing a trade with someone and then using pillage immediately to gain money back, is just very TI in my opinion.

Had spun this up since r/TwilightImperium on Reddit is the only sub I used and since Boost will no longer work with Reddit and is moving to Lemmy thought I'd try Lemmy out.
