Twilight Imperium

How can I rewind to a specifc action so I can see again how something happened? In most of the games we can do that.
Here I see a very good list of what happened in a specific tab, but on the right where in other games we could rewind I do not see this possibility?

The button sometimes shows up on the right for me, but with the number of actions and complexity involved, TI4 uses a custom action history and filtering system, so it is likely the button does not show up after a long game round, sorry about that.

The advantage of the dedicated tab is that players do not have to scroll the screen to find new events, can filter, and can even load the entire game history with just 2 clicks if they wish.

Oh man, it would be so amazing if at some point in the future the replay system can be fully fixed and we get to replay full TI4 games and see every state, step by step. In all the other 4 implementations so far (TTS, TTPG, TW and Async) it's either that not full record of all actions is kept, or the log of the actions does not include the game board. Like any other complex game, one of the best ways for newcomers to learn is to review full games of experts. BGA can take the solid lead from all platforms if it manages to include working replay system with game board. (And yes, one can also watch HD video recordings with commentary, but it's not the same when you cannot interact with the board at any moment and check details for yourself.)

You can already replay a game once it's over for any game on BGA

Indeed, and you can step one move at a time when doing that, which is a big help.

One problem with "Replay from this move" in general, to my knowledge, is that you cannot pause to see a specific detail. Instead, you might see several turns animate unstoppably.

Sorry, from your explanation for how the "checkpoints" of the replays can get lost in a round in TI4, I got the impression the usual BGA replay will be broken for TI4 to fully replay the whole game - is that not so? If the replay function in BGA actually works for TI4 I'd be so happy!

Oh no, sorry for any confusion. Replay should work for TI4, and any bugs with those should be reported in the normal TI4 bug report system (I think there is still an issue with fast-forward to end where I need to fix a thing or two).

Was wondering for the people that have played alpha if this has a good mobile implementation

I wouldn't call it good for mobiles. I would call it perfect

[GTSchemer]

There is always room for improvement, and even on my TODO list there are various notes I hope to address eventually.

I've definitely tried to make it playable on mobile, however, even though desktop will always be the easiest way to learn and use the interface.

[nimbers]

I've been playing a bunch of async games, doing moves on desktop as well as on mobile and it's perfectly serviceable either way when not under any time pressure.

Haven't played any real-time games because as a working man with a 4yo daughter I can't set aside the time to find people and finish the game in one sitting, but my guess is that doing that on a phone is not going to be the best experience.

Hi, i noticed that after making tactical/strategic action turn ended automatically. This isn't really comfortable cos when movement is done and new neigbour is founded i wanna make transaction but cant. I think it will be good to have a button to explicitly ask for ending the turn.
