I have my first live TI game today so might be slow to respond, although at our speed it probably won't be an issue.
Can't decide what race to try. Trying to decide between Naluu Letnev XXcha and Hacan. Not sure if I feel like wheeling and dealing enough to play Hacan all day but I do love big piles of TG.

Letnev has good planets in their home system but they're pretty boring otherwise. Hacan is probably the strongest of that group. Naalu is just behind them in terms of overall win percentage and has some worthwhile racial abilities and tech.
Letnev and Xxcha are both in the bottom 3 for win percentage.

They have good planets...and not much else. The fleet pool thing saves you like 1-2 command tokens over the course of the game. The combat tech/abilities rarely come into play. Having only 2 commodities blows. Nobody cares about the racial promissory so you can't sell it or trade it for much.
So far in this game I've saved some fleet tokens. I might not ever use another racial ability. If i do, it's unlikely to have much of an impact.

You can double tech on the first turn, thatβs crazy. Or so it seems. Iβll let you know!

Only if you get to pick Tech. Wouldn't Hacan also be able to after Trade has been played? They can trade with anyone first round without being neighbors in the technical sense, right?

All for. I think. I'm assuming that I'm reading correctly that against is the speaker one. I don't actually understand this actual vote. Its just more objectives possible to score? But its not really a vote because its more objectives either way.

It's a vote for either an easier objective worth 1 VP or a harder objective worth 2.
If you need any kind of clarification in the game, you know you can always ask!
Anyways, since it was bolded, I'm going to just take that vote as set, and resolve the agenda in favor of FOR. One new Stage I objective is added to the game: Diversify Research (1 VP): Own 2 technologies in each of 2 colors.

Can't decide what race to try. Trying to decide between Naluu Letnev XXcha and Hacan. Not sure if I feel like wheeling and dealing enough to play Hacan all day but I do love big piles of TG.
Letnev has good planets in their home system but they're pretty boring otherwise. Hacan is probably the strongest of that group. Naalu is just behind them in terms of overall win percentage and has some worthwhile racial abilities and tech.

So far in this game I've saved some fleet tokens. I might not ever use another racial ability. If i do, it's unlikely to have much of an impact.
Only if you get to pick Tech. Wouldn't Hacan also be able to after Trade has been played? They can trade with anyone first round without being neighbors in the technical sense, right?
