168: Fireside Chats with Dane Beltrami

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/12/08

Prophecy of Kings has officially released and to commemorate it, Alec sat down for another Fireside Chat, this time with Dane Beltrami himself! Dane is no stranger to the show, but this is a wonderful casual interview that dives a bit deeper into game development and Dane's insights on the game we all know and love.

167: Prophecy of Kings and the Future

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/11/30

It’s bookkeeping day! We’ve got some upcoming tournaments that we wanted to talk about. But that’s not all! With copies of Prophecy of Kings officially out in the wild, we wanted to talk about what we anticipate as players and and as content creators in the Twilight Imperium scene. We talk show goals as well as personal goals for a post-expansion era of SCPT. Music provided by Ben Prunty.

166: 100% Definitive Official Base Game SCPT Power...

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/11/24

It feels like forever since we let this show get weird, y’know? Well, today is a weird one. Copies of Prophecy of Kings are shipping to many people this week, which means it’s time to put the final nail in base game’s coffin by assigning every faction a rank! We’re done with subjective tier lists, it’s time to give you the meat you’ve always craved. We took all 17 base game factions and definitively determined the exact order of power. There’s a lot of exact and perfect science in this episode, so I

165: Root - Learning the Lizard Cult

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/11/18

With all that messy Twilight Imperium business behind us, we can return to the real work. And it is WORK. This week, we have a guide for “the worst faction” in Root, The Lizard Cult. Despite their setbacks, they’re incredibly fun, and hopefully we can help you unlock their potential. Just give us a chance! 12:07 - Abilities 15:24 - Setup 22:39 - Birdsong 29:33 - Daylight 37:50 - Evening 41:55 - Opening Ideas 47:59 - Crafty Corner 1:07:25 - Pitfalls 1:11:25 - Where we find our victory Music by

164: Farewell TI4 Base Game with Dane Beltrami

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/11/10

As part of our 24 hour Extra Life livestream, we recorded this episode LIVE with surprise guest Dane Beltrami. It has a looser structure than you might be used to, but we say goodbye to things we will and won’t miss from a TI4 that lacks Prophecy of Kings, and talk a bit about the things we’re most excited for. The audio is a little bit rough in this one, apologies! Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com To learn more about our Discord, Twitter,

163: Arborec Strategy Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/11/06

It’s the last time that finishing the 17th of a thing will mean we are done with that project. It’s been a project over a year in the making, but today marks the end of our base game faction Strategy Guides. And to wrap things up, we have a faction that required some time. And if we hadn’t had an expansion so closely on the horizon, we may have let it bake a little while longer. But even a little while longer in the over wouldn’t have made these plants any better, and so perhaps it is as it should

2020/11/03

Be careful. Two chill bros chill out hard in this eppy, and totally wax spiritual, man. They get straight up lifted and...this is Matt, and I haven't really done any drugs and don't know what I'm doing. Anyways, here's a great chat between Alec and TgWelch. Please enjoy it. 8:45 - Hacan Commander: Gila the Silvertongue

161: Nekro Virus Strategy Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/10/27

It’s spooky season, and that means we get to talk about one of the spookiest factions out there: the Nekro Virus. What once was seen as aggressive, bloodthirsty killing machines are now a deal-oriented accountant wearing brass knuckles. Nekro is a good faction, but only if you dig a bit into the math and strategy that lies under the surface. So let’s dive in! 6:31 - Abilities and Starting Units/Tech 16:12 - First Round Strategy Cards 37:20 - Problems 39:55 - Tech Paths 50:57 - Trading and

160: Ghosts of Creuss Strategy Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/10/20

We’re nearing the end of these base game Strategy Guides. Five years after the release of 3rd Edition, FFG released the Shards of the Throne expansion and included three new factions. Among those was what would quickly become one of the most beloved factions of the entire game, the Ghosts of Creuss. The Ghosts are so cool and interesting, they are TI4 designer Dane Beltrami’s favorite faction. Anyways...here’s a guide we threw together. We think it’s pretty good. 4:05 - Abilities and Starting

159: Embers of Muaat Strategy Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/10/13

Do you even understand what this episode cost? Hunter has gone back into the oven to further explore the strategies of the Embers of Muaat, and he’s a harder, colder man because of it. He may be forever changed, but at least we’ll finally know whether Red Tech or Blue Tech is better. You have to listen to this one, because it physically hurt Hunter to make. 8:15 - Abilities and Starting Units/Tech 23:13 - Problems 27:40 - First Round Strategy Cards 43:16 - Tech Paths 52:06 - Trading and Meta 58:30

2020/10/09

This month the Galactic Council foisted upon us a episode so daunting, we had to enlist help from our own private Rules Judge, Milty! Milty is known in the community as the master of all rules, and there is no better person to host our newest game show: Rules Quiz Extravaganza! 1:35:26 - Explore: Expedition and Sardakk N'orr Mech: Valkyrie Exoskeleton Music provided by Ben Prunty.

157: Root - Learning the Vagabond - Base Game

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/09/29

I hope you enjoy your outdoor cooking with lots of SALT. Today, we delve into our only remaining base game Root faction, the Vagabond. Much maligned by the rest of the forest creatures, the Vagabond is power, requires focus from the rest of the table to stop, and...honestly can sometimes not be that fun to play as. It is an uphill meta-battle, and here are tools on how to survive your early games as this most infamous racoon. 5:50 - Abilities and Setup 30:28 - Birdsong and Slipping 34:54 -

156: Yin Brotherhood Strategy Guide

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/09/25

It’s not 2018 anymore, and that means we get to like the Yin and talk about them in a serious context. This might legitimately be Matt’s best faction, and hopefully that translates to some somewhat decent strategic insights. You be the judge!

This month on Fireside Chats Alec sits down with the creator and moderator of the TI4 on TTS Discord, PhilRoi. He’s a huge figure in the community who puts in tons of effort and hours to ensure everyone has a safe and fun place to organize games of Twilight Imperium online. Not to mention he’s an incredibly kind person who is incredibly easy to talk to! 5:02 - Objective: Explore the Outer Rim Music provided by Ben Prunty.

2020/09/15

Development of Leder Games’ Oath has been completed, and a lot has changed since the last time we talked to Cole Wehrle. So, we decided to sit down with him again so he could update us on what’s new, what’s not, and what’s to come! Additionally, we talk about where he sees Root heading in future expansions, as well as the competitive Root scene and our upcoming test tournament! 8:20 - Explore: Enigmatic Device and Jol-Nar Mech: Shield Paling Music provided by Ben Prunty.

For our second consecutive Galactic Council episode, the winner was an update on all of the components and abilities revealed for Prophecy of Kings so far. Now we couldn’t cover EVERYTHING, but today we touch on all of the tech, objectives, and faction stuff we’ve seen. It’s a LOT, so strap in and prepare to get your lace up your analysis shoes.

It’s the day you’ve been waiting all this time for. Nearly 3 years in, and we’ve finally managed to book our significant others to appear on the show. They were a tough get, and we had to offer some major residuals, but we finally got them on board. The Galactic Council submitted loads of questions, and we went through as many of them as we could so that you all could get the inner scoop of what it’s like to be our Partners in TI. 1:51:47 - System: Atlas and L1z1x Commander and Mech: 2RAM and

We’re trying to get our significant others to sit down for this month’s Galactic Council episode, but it’s proving more difficult than we originally planned.

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/08/19

And so begins the saga of the most temporary strategy guides ever written. Why are we writing guides for a game whose strategy will be radically changed in a matter of months? BECAUSE! When you start something you finish it! Even if it costs you everything. Even if all you’re left with is a Floating Factory and a single infantry sitting alone in a distant asteroid field. See, I still tied it back to Saar, who this strategy guide is about. And also, stick around for a Prophecy of Kings Saar

149: Root - Learning the Woodland Alliance

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2020/08/12

Deemed “The Jol-Nar of Root,” the Woodland Alliance is very powerful, and rather straight-forward in what they need to do in order to win. However, they can still have rather intimidating hurdles to get over for new players. So today, we want to cover solid play while avoiding the traps new players fall into. Stick around too, because at the end of the episode, we have more Twilight Imperium: Prophecy of Kings reveals!! 9:25 - Abilities 16:55 - Birdsong, Sympathy, and Bases 24:28 - Daylight,
