Thread: Twilight Imperium (third edition):: Rules:: Some questions about Facilites, Simulated Early Turns, and Leaders.

by thechris01

After our last game some questions came up that I couldn't find the answers to, although that's not uncommon and perhaps I have just missed them.

Anyway, about Facilities:

1- Can you build a Facility AND a space dock on the same planet on the same turn? (Assuming you have controlled the planet since the start of the turn)

2- If you use the special ability of "The Yin Brotherhood" on a planet with a facility what happens? For example: Assume the planet LESAB, with 2 resources and 1 influence, has a Refinery (+1 resource). If the Yin player reverses that would Lesab become 1-3 or 2-2?


About Simulated Early Turns Questions:

During step 1

3- Could you claim an asteroid field as your first system if you start the game with Antimass Deflectors?

4- Could you claim an asteroid field as your first system if you don't start with, but plan to purchase, Antimass Deflectors in step 2?

5- Could you claim a supernova as your first system?

6- If you claim a system with a wormhole as your first system, could you clam another matching wormhole system as your second system?

During Step 2

7- Can you buy Facilities during step 2 of Simulated Early Turns?

8- If you start the game with extra trade goods, (Like in a 5 or 7 player game), can you use them to help purchase units in step 2?

9- If you can, could you purchase your Flagship in step 2?

During Step 3

10- If you are able to purchase your Flagship in step 2, would you be required to place it in your home system?

11- If you claim a dual planet system in step 1, and purchase a carrier and 2 Ground Forces in step 2. Using only those units in the dual planet system could you place one Ground Force on each planet in step 3?


And one about leaders:

12- When do leaders move? Example: Assume I have a Dreadnought with an admiral in the same system as my War Sun. I wish to use these ships to attack an opponent in an adjacent system, but I also want to move the Admiral to the War Sun before the attack. What's the correct order of moving the ships, transferring the Leader, and engaging in a space battle?


Thanks.
