It's ironic that both of you mentioned Black Market, considering that it's a card touted as very powerful and high-skill (in addition to high-luck) by a number of the top players (see, e.g. here: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=11768.msg418654#msg418654)
I understand where you're coming from Tombolo. When playing time-killing games on Androminion, I frequently find myself overbuilding like crazy.
I find it interesting that you think Candlestick Maker is the worst, but you have yet to place Masterpiece.
Huh, you may be right. To me, it just looked like trees.
Chapel, Village, Masquerade, Bridge, Remake, Saboteur, Goons, Possession, King's Court, Prince
I originally posted this in the "Fun Kingdom's" thread facetiously, fully expecting that it would be the least fun game of Dominion of all time. But looking at it now, I'm interested in it, since the pin can be blocked. There's also stuff with KC KC B B B, but KC saboteur and goons action could stop that. And then there's possession.
Thoughts?
Can you tell me a few details about how exactly you go about getting your ideas on cards? I only picked up on that recently. I've made a few cards with these templates, but their size is 326*500, which isn't identical to the size of physical cards, and resizing means a loss in quality.
I've created a template in original size (200*307) and did two versions of the same card as an experiment, one by using the 200*307 template, and the other one with the original template and a resize afterwards
they aren't quite identical, I've worded the one a little bit differently, but my point is mostly the font. it's different, but I'm not even sure I like the first one more. It seems closer to actual cards though, and I imagine it'll be easier to read if you have to use even smaller font for more complex cards.
So my question is: what is the best way to do this? None of the images in your OP are in original size. Do you just resize them before printing, or do you have the original versions in phsyical size and just use larger versions for the thread because it looks better? Also, which templates do you use?
And, how do you do the card values on the bottom left corner? I've been using the suggested font from the tutoral, but it doesn't look right.
It also doesn't seem like an elegant way to even use image editing software. everything except the textbox should be doable with a simple program.
All I ask is that Goko makes this purchasable. I already have the 5 promos, so it is impossible for me to get otherwise unless I can outright buy it. Oh mighty Donald X. can you please tell MakingFun to do this? I mean what would they rather have, money or frustrated customers?
The Baker was killed in the Library with the Masterpiece.
Dominion is now Clue.
Masterpiece has a candlestick on it.
From my experience, Soothsayer excels in games with no trashing or weak to no engine potential. Player playing BM or slog really only needs to buy 1-2 Soothsayers and VP cards, maybe with occasional Silver. His main economy - Golds, will come from playing SSers, so he doesn't even need to waste a turn for buying them. Of course, they become terrible in the endgame, where neither your Gold nor opponents' Curse will see the reshuffle and opponent's extra card may make the difference between $7 and $8; but by that time, your deck is already filled with Golds anyway.
I'd be very curios to see simulators' opinion about Witch+BM vs Soothsayer+BM to see if the latter wins.
