Ep 033: Agendas

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/05/22

It's night. The Galactic Council has assembled, and from the shadows you hear collective whispers. The wind picks up, and leaves begin to skip along the ground. A figure steps forward and then stands motionless before you. It speaks. "Agendas." Without hesitation, you are surrounded by the the force of a hundred collected voices all bellowing, in unison, "AGENDAS." You mustn't disappoint them. But how will you heed their request? As the thought breaches your mind, your hand changes weight, your grip

Ep 032: First Round Strategies - Ghosts of Creuss

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/05/15

Don't get spooked! We're talking about friendly ghosts today, or at the very least highly encouraging you to be a friendly ghost. The Ghosts of Creuss have some struggles, but when overcome, they can be a very powerful faction. So let's find out how best to avoid failure! After that, we errata the heck out of some L1z1x Mindnet talk. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com

Ep 031: First Round Strategies - L1z1x Mindnet

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/05/08

Strategies abound in this issue of SCPT! This week: Will the roboboys find their way to the throne? Is L1z1x Mindnet a hard name to remember? Are these questions doing a good job of explaining the content of this podcast? Tune in and find out! Then stay tuned for two whole questions of errata about the GenCon Tournament Interview and listen as it takes us 20 minutes to accomplish even that simple task! Music provided by Ben Prunty.

Ep 030: GenCon Tournament Inteview with Blarknob

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/05/01

Sign-ups for the GenCon Tournament are next week (Sunday, May 6) and in preparation we decided to talk to the organizer of the tournament about what we can all expect. We discuss this year’s upcoming tournament, the history of the tournament, and dig into blarknob’s own (very long) history with the game. Afterwards is some very meandering errata for the Flagship Tier List. Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at benpruntymusic.com or benprunty.bandcamp.com

Ep 029: Flagships Tier List

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/04/24

We’ve got another Galactic Council episode for you! This time, the council wanted us to present you with a Tier List for Flagships. So, we’ve done all the categorization we can muster, and here are the results. It’s a mad dash through every flagship with analysis on their benefits, weaknesses, and uses within that specific faction. We even follow up the discussion with a nonsensical tournament style face off of all the flagships pitted against each other. Once we’re done playing stupid games, we

Ep 028: First Round Strategies - Winnu

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/04/17

We’re peaking the crest of the mountain that is First Round Strategy Guides. Winnu has been, perhaps, our toughest nut to crack, and we can’t say with much confidence that we’ve even fully cracked it. They start from behind, are stopped easily, and don’t have a lot to bargain with, so join us while we DESPERATELY try to find something workable with this notoriously difficult faction. Then, we go back to our other difficult faction with some Muaat errata! Music provided by Ben Prunty. Find more at

Ep 027: First Round Strategies - Embers of Muaat

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/04/10

We’re back at it with another First Round Strategy Guide. This time it’s everyone’s favorite hard-boiled eggs, the Embers of Muatt! It’s a tricky race that relies heavily on your ability to work with other players, but is given some handy tools in managing that task. Afterwards is our errata on the Etiquette, Elimination, and Kneecapping episode as well as the Kingmaking and Support for the Throne Roundtable from the last two weeks. It’s a LONG errata that hopefully puts a temporary close to this

Ep 026: Kingmaking and Support for the Throne

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/04/03

Continuing our discussion from last week, Matt and Hunter are joined by their good friend Alex to have a roundtable discussion on the impact of kingmaking. Also discussed is the promissory note Support for the Throne's role in kingmaking and its purpose in the game at large. It's a big topic with MANY varying opinions. So join us in this complicated issue by taking part in the discussion!

Ep 025: Etiquette, Elimination, and Kneecapping

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/03/27

This week’s episode was left up to our Patreon’s Galactic Council! They voted, and so here we are with an episode on the etiquette of Twilight Imperium and some of the more difficult social interactions. After that, we’re catching up on errata. That means House Rules, Sardakk N’Orr, our interview with Dane Beltrami on the Living Rules Reference, AND the Barony of Letnev. It’s a long one folks, so make sure your car has plenty of gas!

Ep 024: First Round Strategies - Barony of Letnev

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/03/20

On paper, the Barony of Letnev seem like an exceptional race, but according to player submitted statistics, they tend to do quite poorly. Today, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson dissect why and give an exhaustive look at what to do with the Barony’s big scary fleets.

Ep 023: Dane Beltrami Interview - Living Rules Reference

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/03/13

We have an incredibly special treat for everyone this week. Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson sat down with the developer of TI4, Dane Beltrami, to discuss his history with Fantasy Flight, the development of Twilight Imperium 4th Edition, and exploring the recently released Living Rules Reference. This episode is PACKED with information about previous iterations of your favorite races, what it was like tackling the mammoth that is TI, and the crazy questions that arise from this dense board game

Ep 022: First Round Strategies - Sardakk N'orr

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/03/06

Today, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson are covering a very contentious race. People's opinions vary greatly on the quality and ease of the Sardakk N'orr, and so establishing a Round One plan can sometimes be very difficult. But Matt and Hunter are consummate professionals, and they see right through all your doubts and trepidations. FEAR NOT! The bugs can be conquered, it merely takes one stern of the heart, quick of the mind, and soft in the tummy. Join us afterwards for some lovely errata on the

Ep 021: House Rules and Patreon Announcement!

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/02/27

Twilight Imperium is a huge game and leaves a lot of room for interpretation in its setup. Today, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson lay out their house rules for setup, especially going into detail on what they've often referred to as their "Cooperative Galaxy Setup." There's also details on map variants, tournament rules, and giving the game more flavor. After, in lieu of errata, we wanted to give you the pitch for our newly launched Patreon. We're incredibly thankful for those that have already

Ep 018: First Round Strategies - Universities of Jol-Nar

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/01/30

Let's talk about tech baby, let's talk about the fishies. The Universities of Jol-Nar are the master of tech, and that makes nailing down specific strategies with them rather difficult. Nevertheless, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson will certainly try to give you ideas on how to start a game with everyone's favorite cybernetically enhanced Chordata. And sticking with the topic of tech, the errata deals with last weeks discussion of the Nekro Virus.

Ep 017: First Round Strategies - Nekro Virus

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/01/23

The future is now! Automobiles! Engines of War! Microwave ovens! This week's episode covers all things technological, because it's time for Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson to discuss the Nekro Virus' opening strategies. Is our most situational faction ever in a situation to win? Yes, definitely yes. Also, there's errata on last week's Mentak Coalition episode, so stay tuned until the end to see what the community had to say.

Ep 016: First Round Strategies - Mentak Coalition

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/01/16

Space Pirates are about as old as science fiction itself, and Twilight Imperium's version are one of our favorites! This week, Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson explore the nuances of the Mentak Coalition's first round and early game. It's a long discussion about a faction that takes advantage of the metagame more than almost any other faction. After that, there's a LOT of errata; first for The Arborec episode from two weeks ago as well as for last week's episode.

Ep 015: 2017 Wrap Up

Space Cats Peace Turtles ·

2018/01/09

We're officially recording in the New Year, and we wanted to take a look back at last year before we get any further away from 2017. This episode is a closer look at our Holiday Spectacular game, then discusses our important takeaways from the release of TI4 and the rest of the year. At the end of the episode, instead of errata, we introduce some of our goals for 2018 as well as announce a couple of projects we'll be working on throughout this year.
