Hi Development Team,

Thank you for your continued work on Twilight Imperium 4. I really enjoy playing the game developed by you.

1) I think players now have more demands on the POK expansion, and I have some suggestions for a way to partially introduce some convenient, fun and balanced functions from POK in early stages.

1. New map tiles excluding the legendary planets, because more tiles can make the map more balanced and also enrich the game
2. Exploration System
3. New objectives and new action cards, because current objectives seem to have biassed advantages to some factions

2) The following functions may require additional interactions or rule modifications:
4. New technologies
5. Mechs
6. relics
7. legendary planets
8. Leaders and Alliance mechanics

3) Apart from POK, I suggest 'ban' function for a more balanced game:


I understand that the actual development difficulty depends on how the platform is structured, so these are only suggestions based on my understandings.

Any new improvement would be wonderful!

Thank you for considering this suggestion and for your work on the game!

When you say draft factions in the room, what do you mean? I assume this would be different from the existing faction draft?

Hi GTSchemer,

It's nice to hear from you!

Regarding faction drafting, I was referring to allowing players to pre-select their factions in the waiting lobby or deciding the available faction pool.

Alternatively, a faction 'ban' from each player before the faction selection in the game might be also a practical function to implement on BGA.

I don't think there is any way to pre-select factions before the table loads. However, the faction draft mode allows players to take turns drafting factions.

And of course, players can use the normal chat function to discuss their picks while they draft, if they want.

Faction draft only really makes sense when it's combined with seat and/or speaker drafting of some sort. Otherwise you just end up with the best factions that get insta picked with no recourse against them.
