    Getting a good first round in Twilight Imperium is important for increasing your chances to win. This strategy guide will show you how to play the Titans of Ul, and hopefully give you a better understanding of this fun faction.
    In this video I show you how to play the first round with different Strategy cards, and go through one or more Technology paths, which you can use as inspiration.

    I used your construction card round 1 strategy this weekend with these guys in an 8 player game and came away with the win 12 hours later. Great advice. Thanks!

    I didnt realize the Transit Diodes synergy, great video! I'm always on the hunt for TI4 videos that provide more insight than just reading what is on the faction sheet/cards.

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave  Před 9 měsíci +1

      I don't know if the Transit diodes synergy was intentional, since that Tech was already in the base game, and the Titans were added later. But it certainly boosts the Titans :)

    All of your videos are fantastic explanations for TI4! We've got some newer players recently and I think your videos will really help them out. Thanks for putting time into making these.

    Hey Im not sure if this is your first video with you new sound setup, but I noticed the improvement. It sounds good! Also, love your videos. They always get me excited for my next game!

    • @essersgamingcave

      Thank you! The sound quality was a struggle, so I'm happy to hear that it has improved. I may have to redo some of the earlier videos :D

      What fraction is next? Yin would be interesting :)

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave  Před 9 měsíci +1

      I'm currently working on Nekro Virus, and this video will be released Thursday or Friday this week. And because of your comment, I have just made a poll on the community page about what faction to do next :) So you can vote for Yin here if you like: czcams.com/channels/hTopbuDktyYaH-kDbru-qA.htmlcommunity

    Another great video Esser. Thank you.

    You shared a few tricks I hadn't thought of in this video. Personally I enjoy going deep red with Titans after getting the faction techs. Duranium armor and assault cannon can make your Saturn Two pretty beefy in the late game. Really enjoyed the video. I'm always looking for more TI4 content.

    • @Toftolus
      @Toftolus Před 9 měsíci +2

      That sounds as a great combo too 😃

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave  Před 9 měsíci +1

      I never tried that combo, but it does sound extra powerful with duranium armor and SE2 with sustain damage. Almost as strong as Baronys dreadnoughts 💪

      @@essersgamingcave I can definitely confirm they get wiped by Barnony. But mixed with Hell titan 2 they work as a great deterrent. IMO titans are all about chilling in your slice hoping for Structure, unit upgrade, and attachment objectives. With the ability to snag a system or two if needed. Definitely one of my favorites.

    Quality has gotten better! Noticeable! :)
    Can't wait for the Mahact episode :D

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave  Před 9 měsíci +1

      Thank you! I'm happy to hear that :) I'm looking forward to making Mahact as well. They are a little complicated to play, imho

    Will play these next. Sunday won with black cats :) This faction might be the best one for sneak attacks with gravity drive and cruiser II and lightweve deflector.

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Good luck mate! There is a ton to keep track of, but they are so much fun to play. Let me know how it went :)

      @viesturskokarevics2427 Před 7 měsíci +1

      ​@@essersgamingcave I won today with them. R6 with action secret (destroy last ship with PDS fire, lol) and Imperial public scoring. Fleet logistics ftw. BTW R1 Politics and R2 MR point. Got lucky with stage II - 7 structures.

  • @michaeldrass4778
    @michaeldrass4778 Před 9 měsíci +2

    Question: Is it possible to tranform a fresh- gained hel-titan from a sleeper- token to the flagship in the same activation ? I guess not, but what do you think? Maybe the "after you activate"- timewindow allows that?

    • @Toftolus
      @Toftolus Před 9 měsíci +1

      You are correct, you cant do that. You are right, it both happens in the 'after activation'. But you have to 'activate a system that contains 1 or more of your PDS' to be able to deploy your Flagship in the 'after activation'-step.

    TTS 4player split game coming and I will have Titans :)

  • @MrTandtrollet
    @MrTandtrollet Před 4 měsíci +1

    Isn't Warfare great 1st round pick for these guys? Especially if you have a 2 planet system next to your home system. You can immidiately place 2 pds on those two planets and produce 2 units there (and get 1 extra explore).

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave  Před 3 měsíci

      It is always good to get more units out, and if you have a structure objective as well, then warfare is an efficient way to do it.

    I would love to play a game with you!

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave  Před 9 měsíci

      It could be awesome to do some day. You will probably win, as I usually need an extra round to reach the 10 th point

  • @viesturskokarevics2427
    @viesturskokarevics2427 Před 7 měsíci +1

    Why not take Politics R1 to get Leadership and MR point R2.. Less plastic this way and draw unnecessary attention.

    • @essersgamingcave
      @essersgamingcave  Před 7 měsíci

      A MR rush could be worth it, but at the risk of losing parts of the slice. So I would probably only do it, if im fairly sure both neighbours stay out of my slice :)
