285: What is the Midgame?

Listen, y'all. I don't know what to tell you. Sometimes you've got questions and we've got answers. Sometimes we ask questions because we secretly have answers we think are clever. And sometimes Matt asks a question thinking he'll find an answer along the way and that answer never really turn up. The concept of "the midgame" is referred to in a lot of our commentary and faction guides, but it's hard to say what we specifically mean by that. So we THOUGHT it'd be good to try and define that and offer up some strategic advice for your Midgames. But it turns out asking the question was a bigger challenge than we planned for...

Do you think that there's a strategic advantage to being nice in TI (washing, letting score for little-no cost, etc)?

How could the game be changed to have a 6pm game complete in 4-5 hours? Losing the least amount of the TI experience.
