Do you know if you have to pay the cost of the spot when you have a spy on it? Water for example

If you have played a lot of imperium/ix and want to switch things up I’d highly recommend uprising. It changes things in a great way and it feels different enough to warrant buying a different game (I own all of them)

Well, I won my first game after watching this! I prioritized strong card buys (managed to get the captured mentat and spacing guild discard for 2 spice card combo), rationing troops, and preparing for tier 3 heighliner. Thanks guys!

Daggers are usually a safe bet, i try to keep track of the access I’m buying and trash based on what I have a lot of access in. ( if I buy a lot of blue access I’ll trash reconnaissance for example)

The 100 plus games thus far position four has been the strongest currently I'm in 45% win rate in that position with over 100 reps

@@DenDen-jk8kt i assume that is mostly from going 2nd then 1st in the tier 3 combats round 7 and 8?

that's a solid theory! one that I hold to a certain degree. But to further expand that....as you play more you're find yourself sometimes at the mercy of the access cards you were able to acquire throughout the game. if you are unlucky enough to miss your diplo on turn 7 who's the first to benefit? Now lets say 3rd player was ready to fight and 4th player also fought, what kind of secondary rewards do you get? 5 and 3 spice respectively. Which means what? you're ready to fight immediately after having lost@@andruwjonez

Hey Matt, would u mind rephrasing the question? are you asking where the spy locations should go?

@@DenDen-jk8kt Ohh no. not at all. There are imperium row cards that allow you to access any site you have a spy on. So you could drop a spy on a faction site and then use those cards for faction access. It is not as good as full faction access, but it feels like it is some % of faction access. Similar to how scrying in MTG is not quite draw a card, but it is general accepted to be worth about 1/2 a draw. So my thinking is that the place at a location you have a spy is counts towards some amount of having faction access cards in your deck.

as another middle income country inhabitant, we're better off waiting for Uprising instead of starting with Imp + exp(s)

@@dejavu_d just bought di + expansions. No regrets.

Whether or not we play with Immortality, we always include family atomics

I have not and never will

I'll never play her, and I'm tempted to remove her from the game entirely. I've read Dune over a dozen times and all 25+ other books at least twice, and this addition is just stupid and uncalled for.

Why remove her? She's a cool leader within the context of Uprising.

@@MrReedMiester because they could have, SHOULD HAVE, used an actual character from the actual books.

​​@@newmancl0 Really? Frank's books have little to no info about any extra houses. And Brian's books are as much fanfic as game makers.

@@pofruinEven in Herberts original 6 books there are TONS of characters that could have been used. As for Brian and Kevin's books. They are no more "Fanfic" than Sanderson's 3 Wheel of Time books. All those books were made with the approval of the Herbert estate. I'd be fine with pulling characters from those. But they dont even need to. Again, herbert's original books have plenty of characters and houses and plenty of info on them too.
