Dominion General Discussion / Re: basic set, second standard setup: "big money"

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!
Setting up a throne room - feast chain seems to work out pretty well, especially because you can often immediately draw the new cards with a laboratory. This way the engine seems to gain enough buying power to buy up all provinces around turn 17, just enough to beat a money strategy somewhat reliably. The first turns are really important and nerve wracking.
Comparing this strategy with other ones will be hard to do with bots, you run into complex decisions, but maybe I'll give it a try.
Here is a typical game: http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130628/log.516d0ff4e4b082c74d7ab732.1372447716186.txt#Game Setup
edit: Your game actually looks much better, HME. Winning the game in spite of a turn 5 chapel, ending it on turn 15 and playing bureacrats much earlier on. Well done.
