It allows you to play the Shattered Ascension variant[www.astralvault.net] of Twilight Imperium 3rd edition[www.fantasyflightgames.com], an epic board game of galactic conquest, politics and trade.

The Shattered Ascension variant[www.astralvault.net] is a grand re-design/overhaul of both game-mechanics and art from Twilight Imperium 3rd edition.

contd:

So if the proposed fix works for you then who am I to say otherwise, but it sounds to me like getting so many action cards might cause other problems. My advice would rather be to use Yssaril as-is and play up against their weakness (pressure them early). But if it matters to you that this change goes canon, then you should join the Discord channel and make the case.

Cheers and game on! :)

Very cool to hear that you're enjoying our game :)

But to the issue; The Yssaril stalling power is indeed very potent, especially in the late game. However, Yssaril have their weakness in the early game, without much resources, fleet or technology they can and should be pressured a bit by the others races. Basically, if you leave Yssaril alone for too long, they'll always end up surprising you. All in all, this version of Yssaril has been played over many years by a multitude of players, and most frequently in our current online community, without showing signs of being overpowered.
But - if you are an inherently passive/peaceful group, then this ability might be stronger due the meta of playstyle.

Hi. Psicoma and Cyrusa. We were playing the mode for a long time with friends and enjoy it. The only thing we are constantly nerf is Tribes of Yssaril power to skip action every other turn as it is race about action cards and free skip lets them to wait until other players pass and act with out possible retaliation or possibility to stop them. We allow to skip once only during round. I do not know how it comes up in your games. I just had and idea to change line "Every other turn, you may choose to skip action." to "As an action you may spend command counter from strategy allocation to draw action card." Taking into account Mentak Coalition and Federation of Sol powers and nerf to Mageon Implants it seems fare to me. What do you guys think ?

Glad you like it :)

I just want to say thank you for labeling the ships and tokens with the description tool. That will make it easier to play/teach new players!

OK. Thank you

The non-nova is a sometimes up to date copy of nova with less scripting tools

Hi to all
I'm new to the game and have one quick question ;) What's the different between this mod (Nova) and the "non Nova" Version?

Alright. Guess it just needs that scientific approach then. Thanks for your help.

Hard to say without knowing these races :)
SA's balance has really been polished over the years. And it's not easy to do since you have to factor in a lot of factors like the race abilities, starting units, starting techs, Home System etc etc and play a lot of games on multipe maps with multiple players to see how things interact with each others.
So use custom races at your own risks (and pleasure).
