This is such an awesome way to highlight a TI game!! I was both pleased and disappointed by the ending; as others have mentioned, I would have been very annoyed had a kingmaking move like that been made in my game, but it made for an awesome and fitting story arc, and if it works for your play group, more power to you.
You prolly dont give a damn but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I love any help you can give me!
@Kellen Ralph I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
First! That's what I'm supposed to say right? Awesome game guys and amazing work on the video as always. I was a little suprised the Muaat didn't win though, I was cheering for them. Also I like to image that this particular galaxy is rather grimdark based on the histories of each faction you all played as.
I'm new to TI, but am confused by the ending. With support for the throne, it seems that the non-winning players got to pick a winner between Naalu and Nekro. Would that not have felt a bit unfair and unsatisfactory for the Nekro player? What am I missing?
Sure, but that's diplomacy. It looks like Nekro was going round burning everything so the other players went "nope" and handed the win to someone else. That's the kind of thing that makes TI beautiful.
@@mandykarevicius9746 I would say that the Nekro was not just going around "burning" everything. He was attacking the lead player, who just took away his shot to win, so that he still had a chance. I don't know anything that happened in the game, but to me it sounds like people just didn't want the Nekro to win just cuz. Maybe Craiken can explain but I'm a little dissatisfied
It is unfair and unsatisfactory. This becomes more clear when you realize that Ember was cheating. This is because you can't trade other players thrones. When you recieve a throne it reads: "...You must place it faceup in your play area...". Rule 60.5 reads: "Promissory notes in the play area cannot be traded". Embers traded Jol'Nar support, which is not allowed. Nekro are usually the ones that rob (they steal techs) but this time, they were the ones that were being robbed of a victory.
@@sidemitch I glossed over the details. They actually didn't break any rules. The Muaat player activated a system with Jol-Nar units. That caused Jol-Nar to get their Support for the Throne promissory note back. After that, the Jol-Nar player gave their Support for the Throne to Naalu.
Really good video, it must have taken a long time to compile the phots and comments. Did you keep notes during the game to register the strategy cards chosen etc?
How did everyone built space docks/ pds in just newly conquered systems? You cannot build a spacedock in activated system using secondary of production, only by primary
In 4th edition, space docks can be built by anyone when the Construction strategy card is played. Conveniently, they can be placed in previously activated systems.
Still costs a strategy command token though, although if there already is one in the system you want to build, the newly spent token goes from the command sheet to the reserves
Wow...king making is a terrible end. We consider this incredibly rude and bad game manners. If he had the card before the win fine, but to get it on purpose to make someone win is really terrible in my group.
I thought it was kind of thematic in this case, but I get where you're coming from. Support for the Throne is an odd mechanic. I never played with promissory notes in TI3, so it feels strange that victory points can simply be handed out now (even the final point!). There's absolutely nothing in the rules against it though.

@Kellen Ralph It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
@Brayden Thomas no problem =)
I absolutely loved this retelling of your game as an epic space opera! 'sips tea' ahhh
I just got into TI played a couple of games and bingewatched 5 of these very well produced keep it up
Great video!!!
Thanks for posting this. A really interesting and detailed summary, that was not terribly long.
Great video! We house rule that your winning point cannot come from support for the throne for this reason.
Wonderful job with the music. I should try note taking some time.

@@crazybritishsteve Totally. It's like Monopoly and Axis & Allies on crack.

Thought the ending was going to be "The Nekro will return .... "
Nice work
Really good video, it must have taken a long time to compile the phots and comments. Did you keep notes during the game to register the strategy cards chosen etc?
Yep! I've learned that notes help me put these together much faster than trying to rely on photos and memory.
Did the nekro player remember to do his tech rider once every voting phase? It doesn't seem like they did.
I think it was remembered. Nekro copied E-Res Siphons during the agenda phase of round 5: th-cam.com/video/4p8xt8OPhvY/w-d-xo.html
The binary on the Nekro Virus sheet comes out to this: system_erDIErorDIEDIEDIE
That’s pretty funny

We removed this card from the game immediately after getting TI4. Such a cheap bullshit mechanic ruining games.
Well, if the winning player is being a cunt, this is a good way to punish that behavior.
Remember: diplomacy matters in TI.
Why did everyone in this game research magen? That is the worst tech in the game by far and Jol-Nar got it?
They probably didn’t have a tech skip but wanted to get the higher red techs
@@zachb1344 Jol-Nar can always skip Magen. I realize now this is probably just a casual fun IRL game, but still...
Also, my comment has nothing to do with the quality of the video, I love these vids!
@@hunterfyffe149 good point but with the rework it is ok now if a little situational
@@zachb1344 100% agree, but this video came out before that was released
