My username is kieranmillar and I play late evenings in the UK. If see any of you around I'm more than happy to give you a game. I may have already played against some of you in the last week.

Why don't you just have mirrored openings, like the tournaments do? Sure, having three players open Mountebank is kind of silly, but it allows for more three pile potential.

Mirrored openings is one of the biggest missing features of the new client.

That's actually an insanely cool idea, I did not know mirrored openings were even a thing, much less that it was the rule in tournaments. It might be something to try, although again we haven't even really seen Mountebank hit the table in awhile and with all the new sets with cards/events that give you more interesting opening options, it might not be an issue anyway. Thanks for the suggestion tho!

jivjov posted:Yeah, I can count on one hand the number of times I've purchased copper or estates. Usually when I have something fun to combo specifically with it, like Bishoping an Estate. There were 4 major reasons to consider buying coppers last time I played seriously, as well as a whole host of edge cases: Gardens - obvious really, extra buys mean extra points and you only really need an average of 4 money, maybe 5. Horse Traders/Duke - similarly. You're aiming to pile out 3 piles of 5 or less, annd you want to keep your greens down. Average of 5 only. Ill Gotten Gains - similarly. Goons - when you're really firing on all cylinders and can afford to buy a copper for 4 or 5 VP, or particularly if you combo it with Watchtower...

Asking this question out of sheer academic curiosity - I don't like Alchemy, and I'm a bad player. The Possession change was discussed earlier. Is there any given reason, other than consistency, for as to why debt tokens can't just simply behave differently from other tokens? So the person playing possession would get any debt tokens they're "getting" while possessing, but the victim would get all the other ones.

Text space, but mainly the consistency thing. DXV is pretty big on clarity when he can get away with it, so I imagine since he's already breaking the wording of Possession having it affect one token one way while affecting other tokens another way would be a big no for him.

I'm still getting weird timeouts whenever there is a 3-pile. Also is there a record or something? This seems decent enough if it's just a beta but some features definitely missing (would love to see what expansions people have for example).

Having played way too much with the standard set, Sentry seems like a pretty strong card. A cantrip trasher that also sifts is useful, and helps to play past cursing attacks (as well as other things that deposit junk, like Ambassador, Jester or Mountebank). I was sort of on the fence at it being a five buy, but I've narrowly lost games where my opponent went for Sentry and I went for a different five-buy in a situation where we're otherwise splitting curses.

Also, having just played a board in Dominion.NET with Feodum and Donate, you can start your fourth turn with a deck that's nothing but six Silver. That's pretty sweet.

Yeah it's like a mini-Cartographer except it also allows you to trash, it's great. Pretty cool that he's still able to create simple cards that feel powerful and new. I honestly underestimated a ton of the new cards at first but you can see how he has gotten so much better at taking even simple concepts and making them solid enough on their own but explode into these crazy synergies. I played a game with Harbinger and Advisor and quickly realized that it didn't matter what I discarded for my opponent since he was just going to top deck it a second later.

Apparently if you call a Duplicate before your Royal Seal trigger, this can happen "Royal Seal loses track of Baker (it was covered up)."

Alternate idea, wouldn't starting turn 3 with nothing but 3 silver be better on many kingdoms (assuming 4 copper t1)? T1 feodum T2 donate (pay off 3) T3 you have 6 money, pay off 5. T4 buy a gold, now you have a 4 card deck T5 buy whatever action you want (you would presumably also do this in your play). Now your draw is more consistent, and the average treasure in your deck is stronger. At first I was going to add a caveat that your play can get a possible platinum one turn earlier, but I just misjudged so I think this turn is earliest with both approaches.

There's a similar interaction where if you Summon a Death Cart, the Death Cart doesn't get put aside by Summon since it gets covered up by the ruins.

But if you suspect the game will go to twenty turns (probably due to a nasty attack card being present) , I think six silvers at turn 4 will beat 3 silvers on turn 3.

In general, it seems like Events and Landmarks are DXV saying: what if the game was like THIS instead? Like Donate asks, "what if there was no lovely starting deck," and Delve asks, "what if silvers were a 2-buy?" That's a really cool concept that makes them more than just needless bloat, which is what I think you see in other deckbuilders that try out brand new ideas in expansions.

Just had a match against a bot where I was Bishoping Nobles, and then pulling them out of the trash with Lurker. My necromantic kingdom of Draculas allowed me to win with 75 VP without even touching Provinces. And people say Dominion isn't thematic.

You probably didn't buy enough Rats. Remember, every Rat gets you more Rats, so it's good to buy as many as possible.

these guys are dumb, YOU DONT JUST BUY THE SAME FRIKIN CARD! it's a good idea to get a chaple if there are witches and thus curse cards (if you can trash curses). he's so dumb...... cards become more powerful in combos, and the most versatile combos are what win the game. Chapels are end game cards like victory points. you need chapel to clean up the crap in your deck later on, such as copper, which wastes space late game. Nobody would stock up on chapel at the beginning

So this game was fun. I wasn't going to end it this round, and would almost certainly have lost, if my Swindler hadn't picked off one of his dukes. He was way luckier than me with Swindles early in the game though so I refuse to feel bad .

BTW so what's the etiquette for goon on goon action? I just saw someone in a game, and I clicked join (since I can't find any way to actually message them in the app which is just moronic), and I can spectate their game. Which is suboptimal because ideally I'd like to start a game with them. Is there any way to interact with people in your friends list?

Currently there is no PM feature. Best thing to do is to spectate their game, chat to them in the game chat, then if they are up for a game, join in onto the table once the game is finished (there is a join game button in place of the Ready button on the game results screen or table setup screen).

I never got that one, but hitting the Silk Road achievement was a great feeling. edit: What would be the best way to generate 88 gold and 8 buys in a single turn? Another possibility would be something like a KC chained Rebuild aimed at Provinces where you're recycling the same Colony into another Colony over and over again. That means that you technically possess all of the Colonies, but you likely only finish with a single one in your deck. But, of course, Dark Ages didn't exist in the iso era. sector_corrector fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Jan 22, 2017 |
