Thanks again for joining me! I had the day off so I had plenty of time on my hands 😅

Lannister, you are an actual, real-world mentat. I learned a lot from this video.

@@marksilverman You made my day man. Thanks a lot , that really made my day

Thank you!!

Thanks! That's the plan!

@@orski78 Nice vid! Hope you have some time for the rest of the leaders soon :)

Thanks! More on the way at some point

i played with Jshotz on tts today, he's a great player, us 3 should def play sometime

Thanks! I really don’t think there’s a huge power differential between the lower tiers - so keep playing who you love!

I hated Rhombur initially but my buddy got me into playing with him. We strategized over what moves and etc were extensively to make him work. I feel naked not playing him now haha.

@@DenDen-jk8kt heh! Same, he is my first pick most games now if available - tech for life!

No problem! Thanks for watching

Yeah the current tier list is verryyyy out of date - will definitely need to be updated. And of course! Lannister is great

Hi buck, thanks for watching the video. Its often very difficult to dominate the track with Rhombur unless you're very fortunate with cards or your opponents are very unlucky. In a game where there's a baron, Tessia, or Leto, you will not be able to exclude any of those from the shipping track unless of course the 1 is sitting directly behind you. The benefit of getting the 2 dreadnoughts early is that there are very few situations where people can deal with 8 combat strength(2x dreadnoughts) early to mid game. so if you have been laying the groundwork properly by turn 3 up to turn 6 you should be completely dominating the combats. At worst, you should be getting a lot of secondary rewards if someone somehow get a ton of troops say from highliner. unfortunately, most of the time you have to choose the following path: (1) ship persistently and periodically join a combat and win 1 every 3-4 rounds before being completely set up to win for turns 7-10 if it lasts that long (2) fight tirelessly from turn 2-6 and squeeze out a win on turn 7-8 for the win (3) go for a smf strat with some track climbing via holtmann engine and high council i think all 3 are viable in there own regard, but my style is option 2. I think being able to accurately gauge people's combat potential is much easier in the early stages than later stages and you are much less likely to run into weird high level combos like the Hundro special for instance (shipping track drop down on a combat space while using that shipping track bump to cross the emperor alliance for 2 additional troops). lemme know if you have anymore questions.

@@DenDen-jk8kt thanks for reading and for the thorough reply! I see your points for sure. My wins have definitely been more in the vein of route 1, but I hadn’t even considered route 2 and I’m excited to put some of your advice from this video into practice. I never considered the immediate first turn play of picking up the free extra troop tech. Or the saurdakur +++ with emperor track. Love the creativity in your thought process for those. Since you offered to answer another question, do you have a #1 tech for Rhombur? Invasion Ships is my #1 for its versatility with the shipping track. And if you can pair it with unload cards (like Ix Guild Compact) it can provide a lot of options. Really loved the vid and thanks again for the reply!

You’ve made me a believer with Imperial Shock Trooper. Used it successfully 3 times in the last game. Very sneaky card.

Hi Gotuso, this is Lannister. Thanks for watching the video. Regarding your question, It depends on how confident and experienced you are with Rhombur. I don't always go fold space in position 1 or 2. Giving up interstellar shipping puts another player in power but it gives you breathing room for combat, they wont typically be joining in on the fight simply because they are spending the next 2-3 turns setting up their engine. i would say for a beginner always take foldspace, once you have awareness of combat capabilities and recovery mechanics do you deviate from this. Shipping is just far too consistent that you cannot give it up unless you have the means to earn a lot of early victories. (For the record i am notorious for giving up shipping to the person behind me, it pisses a lot of people off, even experienced players) never get sar infantry scout or recruiter unless you have artillery. spice hunter is is a valid choice for fremen access.

@@DenDen-jk8kt Thanks for the response, hope to try Rhombur out in a game soon! :D

Still working on it 😅, those videos take soo much longer because I have to actually get good at the games - I finished the recording for the ark nova video tho so just gotta complete the editing now

Hi Jonas, thanks for the props! can't say i heard of formal logic let alone studied it haha. why do u ask?

@@DenDen-jk8kt I just noticed the 'if and only if'-remark and wondered how widespread such usage is.

Hey MJ, there is a community called TTSClub that we all play on. there's usually 3-4 active dune games going on at a time everyday at all times.

The troop is in reference to the cubes, while dreadnoughts and cubes are referred to as units. The distinction is important because there are certain intrigues or cards that interact with that difference. So for example Desert Ambush requires you to use troops (the cubes) to deploy into combat and allows you to kick out units (dreadnoughts or cubes). When we described the 12 combat strength, going to imperial basin does not generate any troops (cubes) so you are only allowed to deploy 2 units (dreadnoughts or units) from the garrison. So if you deployed 2 of Rhombur's Dreadnoughts you would have 4+4 , strength of 8 with another 4 from the Restricted Ordanance Tech for a total of 12

Thanks!! Unfortunately you’ve been playing that rule incorrectly - the dreadnoughts have to be deployed to the conflict to provide the combat power. “Dreadnoughts provide strength even if you have no troops in conflict” means that you don’t have to have a dreadnought AND troop(s) in order for the dreadnoughts combat power to count (you can send the dreadnoughts in by themselves).

@@orski78 oooh! I see! Well this is one more thing I learn from you, thanks!

It really depends on the cards your buying - if you’re buying a lot of cards with blue access I’d probably trash reconnaissance first, etc

Go clown baron!

🤡 oh god - we’re doomed 🤡

dont know if you figured it out already, but "Dune Imperium + Rise of IX + Immortality (scripted++)" is the one that everyone in the community is using

@@ernsthaft3331 Thanks I have tried to play this with my wife and we just get LUA errors everywhere from the start of the game. Is this still working?

I love my boy Rhombur, but man there are so many more easy mode characters out there. I have to basically fly through hoops to get what Beast achieves at the drop of a hat.

Seeing as I have three group and one solo game under my belt, if Orski and Lannister call Rhombur a F-tier character, he's in that tier for good reasons; difficulty of gameplay and other characters "get more bang for your buck".
