Oh yeah! lookin good!
(the hexagon siding of the systems is minor and do plan to fix that. But the ship and unit icons look great.)

Factions would be chosen by player order.
(yes, using Prophecy of Kings expansion)
And we would be using the preset maps.
Any other info needed?
Is there a video that covers the expansion content?
I think most of the videos already discuss them. Mainly there is exploring planets and able to gain relics.
Oooohhhhh, nice. I am not playing as I have never played it, but I will keep peeking.

Iām interested, have never played TI4, but have done TI2 a few times. So I may not be up to speed with optimal decisions, if thatās a concern 
Definitely curious how this works as a pbf, as Iād never be able to do this irl.

Iāve played TI2 (and TI1 way back in the day), and youāll get a lot of it. Combat is intrinsically slow and messy (by design), the tech tree makes a lot more sense, and the races are all far more distinct now.
Oh, and the āflowā of the game has improved remarkably. Harder (albeit not impossible) to wipe out an enemy, but the emphasis has shifted away from combat as of TI3 and into TI4.
Youāll be fine, if youād like to play! No pressure, though, obviously!

I am considering joining, if the numbers are not crazy (like 8 or so), so I will be on reserve it that is all right. I have been wanting to play TI for a long time. I will do some watching tonight just in case, thanks for the video links.

Right, I watched the ā32 minute rulesā (really good video with a nice entertaining teaching style).
Surprised how much crossover their is with Star Wars rebellion.
Are we adopting the promissory notes?

Cool, they sounded like an interesting negotiating mechanic.

Okay. Getting there but still not quite ready. However, to save me time in not having to scan in all 24 factions, Iām going to go ahead and assign the 6 players who have shown an interest to play and they will be my initial players for the very first game of Ti4 for Discourse!
Please understand myself as well as the other players would prefer some dedicated gamers who will constantly monitor the game and provide their inputs/moves as required. We would really not prefer players who only check their emails āoccasionallyā or ārarelyā. This is a very intense game and many of you know how long an āin-personā gaming session could last with 6 players!
The way we will do it; after the 6 players have confirmed their acceptance (liking this post is sufficient), they will all have random die rolls and players in turn order will choose what faction they will choose. That will help me in only having to prep 6 factions rather than all 24 
The players are:
@COMaestro @GeeBizzle @Captbnut @GabrielH @Whistle_Pig @Marx
standby players:
@Chewy77
If you have any questions feel free to ask away. If you want to see a sample of my posting style and how I like to host a game, you can take a look at the current game of Clash of Cultures going on now. If you are listed as a player and you donāt really want to participate but just watch, that is fine just let us know. But be forewarned it might be a very long time before another game is started here. This method of playing is really nice if you love a lot of time making your decisions while playing. I think this will be a really cool and involved game! We shall see if I can keep up!

@Delwayne I donāt think Iāll be able to be as engaged as you want for this game, so perhaps @Chewy77 would like my spot instead?
Sounds good to me! Just a heads up: until about January 3rd, Iāll only be able to check the thread two or three times a day (usually around 9am and 9pm EST), since I work 7 days a week during that period.
I hope thatās okay! If not, let me know and Iāll (sadly) step aside. Looking forward to the game otherwise!

That is fine. As a minimum we ask a person to at least check in once a day would be great. Otherwise, let us know they will be away and/or many times players can send me their intended movements/actions ahead of time. That will assist to keep the game goingā¦

Okay, weāve got almost everyone still interested. Iām going to roll the dice for player order, and then Iāll need time to prep the factions chosen. Iāll still need a few more daysā¦ seems some of the system disks need graphic editingā¦

@Delwayne asked for a die roll:
6d100: 92 + 95 + 83 + 27 + 76 + 81 = 454
