Dominion General Discussion / Re: Ranking of the Average Card
« on: October 24, 2016, 04:38:38 am »I don't believe the Bell Curve is the best way to look at things in Dominion.You... know that it's called a bell curve because it's shaped like a bell, right? It's not named after anyone...
As for an average card, I would consider something like conspirator the definition of average.
For my money, these are difficult cards to rate because their utility really depends on the kingdom. Market Square, for instance, is mostly not that amazing, except when it has a bunch of synergy (Hermit, maybe Bishop, Apprentice, other TFB generally) at which point it's absolutely dominant. How do you rate that?

Take equal weights of margarine, granulated sugar, eggs and self raising flour (I usually use 8oz (200g I think, ask google for unit conversions) of each and 4 large eggs, but the recipe scales linearly).
Beat the margarine and sugar together, then add the eggs and beat together, then the flour and beat together. Also add cocoa powder at this point if you want, I usually use about 3 to 4 ounces, but I do it by eye.
Separate into two 8-inch round tins and bake for around 25 minutes at 160c until the cake springs back when you press on the top gently.
For the icing, take about 10 ounces of butter, let it soften, add about 5 ounces of icing sugar, and a dash of boiling water (about 15ml is usually enough) and cocoa powder if desired (I usually seive them in but it's by no means essential), then beat together until smooth, adding more water if you want it to be less stiff.
Put the icing between the two cakes and on top.
Cake baking is a science. I've baked this recipe hundreds if not thousands of times, it's good and simple and easy to remember.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: What's the current/new fasted strategy?
« on: August 23, 2016, 06:04:45 am »1. Baker/Borrow/Inherit IronworksWell, I was gonna say Rats/Fortress/Upgrade but I'm pretty sure that can't do game end in 3 turns...
2. EEEC; play Estate 3 times gaining Estate; buy Donate, trashing all but EEEEEE
3. EEEEE; Deck=E; E(Rats), E(Magpie), E(E), E(E), E(E), autopile Magpie, E(E), E(E), autopile Rats
Aw man, turn 3 is just too slow.
EDIT: The order of doing stuff depends a little on the shuffle, but you should be able to do it anyway since everything you have is a cantrip.

No.

I actually think he was re-installed in the canon.

Great news, I am super pumped and will gladly throw $3 (or however much) a month at a subscription online Dominion service that's actually reliable and run by people who understand security and are good at their work.
Really pleased to hear this!
On another note, do we know anything about whether this will be on mobile platforms yet? Playing some Dominion on my droid over lunch would be wicked.

« on: February 24, 2016, 04:47:14 am »Iso let you undo certain things but I can't remember exactly what.Iso (by the very end) let you undo anythign that didn't reveal hidden information, which is the ideal in a game like this for me. There's no particular reason why you shouldn't be able to freely undo back to the last point you revealed something new.

Wharf I think can be a pretty solid Madman enabler, because it gets you bigger starting hands, and the buys to make use of your whole deck's worth of treasures and actions. I'd not tried it all that often, though.

Goko Dominion Online / Re: No card stacking for Scheme
« on: January 11, 2016, 03:57:55 am »And because there are a few cases where a Duration played this turn *does* get discarded this turn - e.g. Tactician if you discard no cards, Gear if you set no cards aside, etc.Surely the point is that Scheme should only be considering the subset of 'cards being discarded' - it shouldn't even touch 'cards that are in play' (or for that matter, cards that you have chosen to set aside) *regardless* of why they're remaining there.
It's not that it shouldn't consider duration cards, it's that it should only consider cards being discarded.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Neat and potentially useful card interactions
« on: December 21, 2015, 10:34:12 am »One good enabler I haven't seen listed here is Storeroom + Duchy/Duke. Duchy/Duke decks typically struggle from getting overwhelmed with green cards. With Storeroom (assuming no hand-size attacks), as long as you have a Silver in the other 4 cards in your hand or in your top 4 cards, you are guaranteed a 5-cost card. So Storeroom continues to grab 5-cost cards even with a very low money density.Also keeps yourmoney density up when you spends its extra buys on copper.
It's very similar to Horse Traders/Duke in that respect, except Horse Traders/Duke is a bit more resilient to discard attacks.
