Tips for TI4: The Yin Brotherhood


 This is an underrated race by a lot of players. They're considered weak. Yet, I've won with them before and I could do it again if given the chance. Here's why:

1) For every 2 influence you spend you can "convert" one infantry of the other players on the planet. In a lot of cases (if you have the influence) you can take over entire planet without ever firing a shot!

2) You can sacrifice one of your Cruisers and Destroyers to do damage to a ship of your choice! This mean your fanatical army of cruisers and Destroyers could literally win any war on the first round. Astounding! 

The Commander allows you to produce 3 troopers instead of the average two and the Hero let's you either double the number of troops on the ground or refresh that planet's resources for the round to be used again. 

This game drips with theme and it shows with this religious race. Plus, it's really the only time a player focuses on getting Cruisers and Destroyers in the game over some of the bigger ships and I can't blame them either. It's crazy knowing the amount of damage they can do. 

Now that I think of it, it sort of makes them the most dangerous army of them army. They have no fear. The way I won with them was going up to the biggest baddest army and cleaning their clock with just cruisers and destroyer. The crushed looked on their faces when they realized they didn't stand a chance makes every other player avoid you at all cost to protect their precious mega ships from your clutches. 

Seriously. After my first demonstration in battle at what they could do. No one touched me for the rest of the game and I walked into the victory circle without any problem at all.
