Ep 045: Tech Paths Part 1 Aug 20, 2018

Show notes

This week marks the first item on our list of topics Matt and Hunter are revisiting and re-examining. Tech hasn’t been covered extensively since Ep 004, and we’ve learned a lot about the game since then. So, in looking closer, we decided to focus on the importance of Optimal Tech Paths in TI4, and what that looks like for different factions. Stay tuned, because next week we’ll continue this conversation and look at the rest of the factions’ tech paths.

Ep 038: Twilight Imperium The Movie Jul 03, 2018

Show notes

We're gettin' pretty weird today. Main Pod-Daddy Matt is out this week so that leaves Pod-Daddy Hunter to pick up the pieces. So instead of getting anything done Hunter recruits frequent guest Alex to just talk about a TI movie? Yep.

You love it when Hunter is in charge. You know you do.
