Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Is this Codex a physical or digital expansion?
The Twilight Codex is a digital publication, meaning you'll likely need to print the material to use it comfortably at the table.
Do I need the Twilight Imperium: Fourth Edition base game to use the Codex?
Yes, absolutely! The Codex is a supplement and requires the base game, and ideally the Prophecy of Kings expansion, to enjoy all the content.
Is the Codex content only in English?
Yes, the original Codex publication is in English. You may need to translate or print translated versions to play in other languages.
What types of content does the Codex add?
It includes alternative technologies for factions and basic ones, promissory notes, action cards, scenarios, and rule updates.
Does this material change the game significantly?
It adds new options and refines aspects, but maintains the core essence of Twilight Imperium. It's more about variety and depth than a radical overhaul.
Is it recommended for those just starting to play Twilight Imperium?
We recommend players be familiar with the base game and the main expansion before adding the Codex, as it introduces more complexity and options.
