So, Dominion was always medieval themedIs it really? At least some of the artwork (eg Monument, many Seasides images) hints at later ages, and platinum was not assigned any value in the Middle Age.
*gets raided by TINAS* Yeah, you seem to have learnt that bit. Thought I could try some opening strategy out against a beginner, not a good idea.My bad, didn't think we were on 12 yet.
*looks at score* I hope you've learnt a bit, it's quite frustrating when the other civ walks all over you, but it has happened to me more often than not.
I don't think it was as bad as the score looks. I felt like I was doing well up until age 3, and then one aggression just destroyed my military and I fell apart after that. I should have resigned, but I played it out as there was only 1 age left and I wanted to see what there was and just play about a bit since it was my first real game. The fact that I stayed in the game to play it out allowed the scores to become what they did.
But yeah, I did learn a bit. I thought I understood the whole "don't get left behind in military" thing, and I did try. My military tactics just weren't enough and my lack of diversifying from soldiers for my army meant I was unable to play new tactics in later rounds. I've definitely taken the value of other units away from that game. (My reasoning in that game was "well they cost the same and give the same strength, but I already have soldiers so I can upgrade them for cheaper than buying a whole new type of unit", little did I know the true value of your units comes from the tactics cards, not the units themselves.)
made him more of a person, making him more of a brandThese two are entirely different things.
There probably ought to be an article about when cheap action cards are bad for your deck. It's the same thing each time and it is a common mistake in play. It's not just hand size attacks and in a variety of decks these cheap cards come with a hidden cost.
Oh, and I've also made f.DStrategy 14 (Dominion). 2 player again, hoping to get better at this game soon because I've got a 2 player IRL game organised for Saturday with a TTA veteran.
My bad, didn't think we were on 12 yet.
Normally, I think spice merchant is the better open (although I'd be interested in knowing how often the Silver/Spice open is unable to hit $5... anyone?).
Match 8:
Bohnanza is the set collection game for me. It's fast paced and really easy to get into.
Happiness is a bit like strength: It just sits there and doesn't produce anything.Joined this one:
It's my first ever game. I read the rule book last night. Go easy on me and I apologise in advance for any rediculous n00b plays and/or ruining the game.
And don't neglect your military. You'll be tempted to; I know I am. After all, everything else you build you see an immediate benefit. Build a farm/mine, and you see production. Build arenas, theatres, and philosophy, and you see happiness.
... strength can be important in many regards. It makes other civilizations less likely to attack you.
tenuki - Grenoble (38). Et je suis très intéressé !
4cms of snow and they have cancelled all the trains round my way.

I am not seeing the +1 Action cards that want to be treasures.I think soulnet rather meant kingdom treasures that might as well have been actions, like Quarry, Talisman, and, to a lesser extent, Loan (the power cap on Loan by possibly drawing a copy of it may have been necessary).

There is also nothing that lets you gain Gold straight up because it would be very expensive.
Did I see that Cayvie is *** on BGO? I thought so, but I'm confused because Cayvie has been inactive on these games, but *** is still chugging along on BGO.
No love for alchemy? Even in artwork?
I was at 42 at the time and I felt like matches with other 40's I could win ~50% of the time against them.
Against lvl 30-ish players I think it was more like 65-35.
Against lvl 50+ it was more like 35-65 in their favor.
