	Description Edit \| History

Game description from the publisher:

The legacy of a ruined empire silently echoes across the stars, its presence still felt as a timeless entity. It is hope. It is a promise. It corrodes the dreams of a peaceful universe into visions of alluring conquest, propelling the entire galaxy into an endless struggle for power.

Shards of the Throne is an epic expansion for Twilight Imperium, adding new races, new units, and many new options to create an even more incredible power struggle in the far reaches of the galaxy.

Mercenaries, Mechanized Units, and all-new Flagship units give players more options for customizing their fleets and Ground Forces, while the Political Intrigue option will crank up the agendas and espionage of the political phase.

Also adding Race-Specific Technologies, alternate Strategy Cards, new System Tiles, Space Domains, and an all-new scenario that puts one player in control of the legendary Lazax Empire, Shards of the Throne creates a completely new way to wage your galactic conquests!

Part of the Twilight Imperium Series.

TI3 Tech Depth

This is a new Verison of the Technology Depth Tree from Priax, which can be found under http://www.ti3wiki.org/images/7/75/Tech_Depth_Table.PNG. It includes all Techs and Races from Shards of the Throne and Shattered Empire except of the Nekro Virus (because they don't have to follow the Tree). The Number shows how often a player has to acquire new Techs, to get the desired one. A Tech with 0 is a starting Technology. Example can be found in the original table (Link above) You can find the image under: http://boardgamegeek.com/image/1226846/twilight-imperium-third-edition-shards-of-the-thro. If you want I can add a .xls/.xlsx Version. Excuse my bad English(if it is bad, i don't know)!

Tech Tree including all expansions (hexagon shapes)

V3.1 Preview: [ImageID=1215407] The numbers represent the shortest paths to a particular tech. For example if your goal is to get the FLEET LOGISTICS as soon as possible, start tracing backwards from there, always choosing the lowest available number (6-5-4-3-2-1). This is a new version of my "hexagonal style" tech tree, now including the latest expansion. Some of you may recognize the style from my previous version in 2009 when I uploaded it into ti3wiki. Back then I had different versions for different paper sizes and variations. This time there's only one tree and it's in US Letter size but with enough margins that it prints fine in A4. Choose Actual Size (no need to scale it down). Not all techs are in a perfectly logical top-to-bottom easiest-to-hardest order, although most of...

SUPER CHEAT SHEETS 7.14

This supercheatsheet is a concise 4-page one-stop-shop for all the TI3 rules with the FAQs integrated within the rules. I did not add a technology tree with definitions because there already are awesome and truly impressive tech trees out there to choose from. v 7.14 - Corrected my misinterpretation of the Arborec's special ability and clarifies it for those who, like me, were confused; - “inactivated” has been changed to “unactivated” in SC 6; - Specified that a scientist gives only a bonus of +1 to a planet’s tech specialty overall; - Changed the number of systems randomly removed for 7 and 8 players as per FAQ 2.4; v 7.13 Clarifies the Arborec's special ability. v 7.12 - Corrected many little mistakes and clarified the text here and there. - Clarified Trade III...

New Promissory Notes

I created four new Promissory Notes and made designs for them, ready to print. These will allow for a greater variance in Promissory Notes and hopefully make them a more vital aspect of the game. Note: "Withdrawal" is not eligible for HS.

Updated Racial Objectives

Continuing the work of several different users, primarily Axensmash, this is an updated and expanded version of the variant Racial Objectives that replace the regular Secret Objectives. The following optional rules are required for some of the objectives: Leaders, Shock Troops, Racial Technologies, Flagships and Political Intrigue

Bookkeeping Unit stats Shards of the Throne upgraded

These sheets are for bookkeeping the "move" and "battle" characteristics of your units. Speeds up battles and helps your intelligence on enemy strengths and weaknesses. I've upgraded my previous version of the sheets for Shards of the Throne compatibility. Same sheet, two per page format

Tech tree and unit reference sheet (updated)

This file contains a tech tree and a table of units for Shards of the Throne. It is especially helpful when not playing with technology decks, using a list instead. The list can be found here: http://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/70199/list-of-technologies The wording was slightly changed to save space. Please keep in mind that the rules for Space Mines and Shock Troops are not included. This is an updated version with some typos fixed and some layout tweaks. Edit: Maneuvering Jets is listed as a prerequisite for Light/Wave Deflector. This is wrong. The prerequisite is XRD Transporters instead of Maneuvering Jets. This will be corrected in the next version.
