Thanks for the article -Stef-. You cover a lot of great points and this info is very helpful for an engine builder to have.
I am surprised no one voted for base. I almost picked it myself. Spy is one of my favorite cards as far as art goes, and Thief, Throne Room, Council Room, Remodel, Lab, and Adventurer are all pretty cool. I guess it's just that it has a lot of dumb looking cards too.
only the goko beta, and right now it only has 1/3 the set.
do you know when it will be officially launched?
Dude, you made two different threads on this same topic. If you're that antsy to play it online, go sign up for the beta.
That was my question in the first place. Where to play the beta.

Yes, I came up with those. Having played 2000 games on iso is the only thing backing those up.
Thought cornucopia was in your short list, sorry!
A soft counter to Torturer is what was intended by the Horse Traders. With 3 or more players go ahead and bump up to a Watchtower, with 2, try a Moat. I designed that set to have other interesting things than Torturer though.
My IRL experience would come into play more, if it weren't that my expansion is Hinterlands.
(deliberately not thematic names, in order not to suggest how to play them)
Wildness: Steward, Pawn, Wharf, Great Hall, King's Court, Quarry, Nobles, Duke, Bazaar, Baron
Fight: Torturer, Horse Traders, Mining Village, Upgrade, Shanty Town, Conspirator, Gardens, Great Hall, Smugglers, Expand
I love it when an opponent opens Militia when Menagerie out. You would be surprised at how many people fall into this trap.
Hunting Party of course!
Menagerie. Every time it hits, it's a little victory.
Interestingly, I have found that certain powerful attacks (e.g. Ghost Ship, Ambassador) are hated, while others (e.g. Witch) are enjoyed. Cards like Treasure Map, which are generally not worth it unless you have a specific plan for them, are not good in casual games (this is probably why Ambassador is disliked).
