@ Skullblaca The infantry spending ability comes from Leaders, which weren't introduced until PoK. This is just the base game, no expansion.

I'm not sure where to ask this, because I don't think it's necessarily a bug. I'm testing Jol Nar right now and I want to research Hyper Metabolism as second tech using some of my infantries. However, when I click on "pay 6 resources" to start researching the next tech, I cannot select infantries to pay with but only my planets and TGs.

How does the paying with infantry mechanic work? Where do I find it?
Or is it not yet implemented?

Thanks for all your work @GTSchemer! And happy Easter

Oh wow haha, thanks!
That's the problem when you only started playing the game with friends after POK was released

New build:
* Added secret objective display for other players in the secret objectives tab, so you can easily check without looking at the scoreboard on mobile.
* Updated vote display so total possible votes are still displayed after voting on the first agenda, so you can tell how many votes players have left.
* Added button "Rotate Speaker" for custom host setup. This allows choosing which map home system will correspond to the speaker.
* Added new Options -> Map -> "Map zoom speed" option "Limited slow" that may improve zoom behavior on laptop touchpads.

Hi

Ive played about 7-8 runs on BGA alpha now. Ive also tested the other versions of TI4 out there, except tts.
And i have to say hats of to you man, what a great implementation for a digital version. You are doing an amazing job, with UI and flow of the game.
I know it will take time but i am really looking forward to the expansions being added in sometime in the far future .
So keep doing your hard work, it is greatly appreciated.

love the look at secret objectives now really easy to see what opponents could have

New build:
* Thanks to FFG, added table setup option to enable the Thunder's Edge versions of Construction and/or Warfare strategy cards.

Thanks to FFG!

Is it possible to join? Thanks

If you become eligible for alphas based on BGA's rules, you're eligble to join.
