    Love your videos! Just one question; why do you not research Supercharge? As a new player I would assume superchage is very strong because of all the extra die you get to roll with mech + flagship. Is it the opportunity cost of researching a better tech or am I overvalueing +1 to combat rolls once?

      I use Tabletop Simulator. You can buy it through Steam and then download TI4 through the Workshop in Steam. But you still need to find some people to play with, as it is only a digital copy of the game. If you haven't joined the TI4 Discord server, you can do so here: discord.gg/sJdpXejM It's pretty easy to find people to play with there :)

    As always, love the video!! I do think you are slightly understating just how powerful getting Cruiser 2 Rd1 can be, especially with the strength of the NRA mechs. The Cru2+Mech combo is probably THE best early game strike force in the game, matched maybe only by Argent Destroyers with a mech. Your Speed 3 allows you to threaten MR from your home system on your first turn of Rd2 without waiting for Tech to pop. And for 4 resources, you have the same health pool as a dread, but significantly more damage output both in space and on the ground. And if it was built by following warfare, you even could take another planet in the meantime 😂. Lastly, while 5ccs for Hyper Metabolism is very good, in my experience you will already get 1-2 from fragments, which offsets any delay in getting HM by a turn.

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave 20 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Good points! That combo deserved better coverage :)

    • @Toftolus
      @Toftolus 19 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I agree that you have a lot of firepower with a cruiser II and a mech. But you cant soak any hits. One hit and your gone. If you can get your one cruiser out in the first round, you might be lucky to get a planet in another slice before your neighbour or maybe first in the second round. After that almost anybody has their slices filled up. Personally I wouldnt risk a cruiser and a mech versus a carrier and two fighters (which often is the minimum fleet). Being so agressive in the first round and taking planets in another slice, dont win you the game, I think. But you can be pretty sure that you have pissed your neighbour off and I dont think that will win you the game either😃

    I love the opening gag! There might be an error around 15:27-you say the NRA mechs on the ground have a 90% chance to hit. Dice that hit on 6 have a 50% chance each, with both of them having a 75% total chance of hitting at least once. If you consider their average hit rate, it’s exactly 1 (0.5 * 2). If I’m wrong do let me know. As always great video, your insights are wonderful.

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thanks! I wanted to try something different, so I'm very curious about what you all think. I ran a check on a dice probability calculator. It says four 10-sided dice have a 93,75% chance of rolling at least one 6. But I haven't checked other sources, though. But maybe somebody can clarify for us?

      @jimga150 24 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@essersgamingcaveright, that’s for four dice, but the mechs each only roll two-is this for if you have two mechs in the ground combat? In the video you say “two dice that hit on 6 have a 90% chance to hit”-so maybe you meant to say mechs instead of dice? Not to downplay how awesome these mechs are though cause this rules

    • @essersgamingcave

      @Tivizzz 22 วันที่ผ่านมา

      This is quite easy to calculate. You have a 50% chance of obtaining any specific result between 6-10 on a D10, meaning you have a 50% chance of not getting it. With four dice roll, you have a 50% ^ 4 dices chance of not getting this, 0.5^4 = 0.0625 = ~6%. This means that you have a roughly 94% percent chance (100% - 6%) of getting at least one dice with a value >= 6 when rolling 4D10.

    I'm not sure about Construction as a good pick unless you really feel you need that pds or thinking of going the pds2 route. Chances are someone else will take it. Low production cap on homeworld isn't great but you typically don't need the forward dock right away. Just build more expensive ships at hime fir a turn.
