Some cards will be much better, like for example Conspirator and Goons. It will be fun to add an Embargo token to a pile just after you bought a card from that pile yourself.
Conspirator will not be much better, as you generally prefer to be able to play the actions that you draw, and that will not always be possible if Conspirator is played as Treasure.
But at least it will be much easier to get Conspirator chains going that you get a lot of $$ from.

You cannot add Embargo tokens after you bought a card since you play all Treasure before buying cards.
Oops, my bad!

Dominion: Renaissance Previews / Fun or interesting combos with Capitalism
« on: November 05, 2018, 07:05:05 am »
Of the new stuff it seems clear that Capitalism has the most potential for unexpected combos, strange games, and just affecting games the most.
What have you found?

Some cards will be much better, like for example Conspirator and Goons. It will be fun to add an Embargo token to a pile just after you bought a card from that pile yourself.

Poor House will shine!

I hadn't thought of it before, so I was pleasantly surprised in a game where I had a Princed Conclave, that I could play a Teacher from that Conclave, and then immediately call that Teacher, since it was still the start of my turn.

54
So now with Innovation there is a part of Dominion that you still can play on Isotropic!

Yes, all the time people are resigning against me almost immediately, before the first move. I often allow players with any low rating for automatch, and maybe these are beginners. If I have time to react before they disappear I ask "why?" when they resign. One of them answered: "i had diff cards selected.. don't know why it signs me up for this one".

I would love if whatever is confusing for them is made less so so that they don't enter automatch with settings they are not comfortable with. I often have to meet two or three of them before I get a real opponent, which is somewhat irritating. I never meet them twice, because I use the flash on them afterwards.

Rules Questions / Re: When to check for three pile ending
« on: October 29, 2017, 03:10:55 am »
There will now likely be a bunch more posts answering the question with the same answer but worded differently; and going into all the various situations and edge cases where this matters.
Edge case: there are no edge cases and your answer can't be improved upon. Meta-edge case: someone feels compelled to explain the interactions between Possession, Donate and the game-end-condition even though this wasn't part of the question. :P

Also, someone will point out that the same goes for empty Provinces or Colonies as a game-ending condition. If you gain the last one and then ambassador one back to its pile the game continues.

Fortresses protect you against War, and Faithful Hounds protect you against Fear and Poverty.

I'm not sure how a dog helps with pove... Oh, you are talking about Dominion! I thought it made so much sense anyway.

Campaigns will help more if the bots play better.

I want to have campaigns with bots that really know how to play the kingdom where they appear. It seems totally feasible to have bots tailor-made for the kingdoms. For beginners that will give a better idea of how to use the new cards introduced in that kingdom, and for better players it means that campaigns can be hard with ordinary rules.

Dominion: Nocturne Previews / Re: Dominion: Nocturne announced!

while those cards with the new type Night, can be played post-buy (while everyone should be sleeping?).

Why not just call them Mafia cards?

Dominion Online at Shuffle iT / Re: A user report feature?
« on: August 04, 2017, 05:43:25 pm »
Now I get a message "Dealing with abusive players" that among other things says:
Quote
To blacklist a user, simply click on the lightning bolt button after a game. That is all you need to do, the moderation team will take it from there.

The way I have been using the lightning bolt, and would like to continue to use it, is just "I don't want to play against this player again", without indicating at all why that was. I'm sorry if this is interpreted as me voting for that player to be banned.

And if it's implicit that you should reveal all discarded cards when they have restrictions on them like that, does that mean that if you discard Tunnels with Opulent Castle you have to gain Gold?

Well no, because there's a difference between "you may reveal this to gain a Gold" and "gain a Gold when this is revealed". In MTG terms, some cards say "Sacrifice [this creature]: [Effect]". You don't get that effect anytime that creature is sacrificed; you only get the effect if you choose to activate that ability, paying the cost of sacrificing the creature.

But you are not quoting the card. My question is because of the actual wording of the card.

Revealed cards have always appeared like that for me.

Revealed cards have been ridiculously small for me for some time, but not always. There was some note about changing the size for some resolutions in the release notes when it happened.

Oh or maybe it had no other options (so this would be, the AI isn't smart enough to not play Junk Dealer when it will probably be screwed).

Yes, note that it's only drawing 3 cards for the next hand, and that it has Necropolis again.

(Yeah Rattington, make sure you protect that Necropolis at all cost!)

Copy-Kitten
Play this as if it were an Action card in the Supply that is strictly worse than Copy-Kitten that you choose.
This is that card until it leaves play.

67
There are some ideas here.

Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Landmarks: Wolf Den
« on: February 02, 2017, 09:26:51 am »
In one of my first games with Wolf Den I didn't think about it when getting lots of Prizes from Tournament. If I knew that poor Princess would become a victim of the wolves maybe I wouldn't have accepted her, for example.

I don't understand this. Quitting a game that you are losing is the respectable thing to do. I have never "ragequit", per se, but if you play enough games you can tell when the game is out of reach. Resigning allows you to have a rematch with your opponent faster, or to play other people faster.

Some people play Dominion because they enjoy playing Dominion. Not because they enjoy climbing the leaderboard. For those people, having a game suddenly end sucks.

Exactly. It has often happened that people have resigned without a comment and then immediately challenged me to a new game. From their perspective they think the game is over so they want to start a new one as soon as possible. But I reject, thinking "well, if you wanted to play we already had a game going! I'll find someone who wants to play instead."

I'd like general functions for "please match me against that player again" and "avoid matching me against that player again". What reasons they are used for is up to the users. There are so many reasons for preferring playing against some players against others. It could be used because you don't like the chat from someone, or because of something in real life because you know them, or because you think they play too slow or maybe so fast that you feel stressed. But also just because of a preference like for playing out games instead of resigning. So this really doesn't mean that there is necessarily anything wrong with that player, only that player one gets more enjoyment of playing against someone else.

The Good Old Days, Event, $0
Once per game. +1 Buy.
From now on, all cards that have been changed in new editions behave in all respects as the first edition cards did.
All cards that were not in first editions behave as the corresponding card of first edition Dominion. If it is not clear what the corresponding card is, if any, the card will in all ways behave as Scout.

FAQ: Yes, that means there can be several Scout piles. They have the same name, for example for Menagerie, Mystics or Fairgrounds. The printed name of the card is used to see from what pile a particular Scout comes, which can matter because of tokens on that pile.

Dominion General Discussion / Christmas board

Do you have suggestions for a Christmas-themed board? You could at least include cards with winter in them, like Messenger and Ironmonger. What else?

A few times when we're down to two players and I'm far behind the would-be winner hasn't gone for the kill but instead just posted a big army just beside my king, so I've had to resign-quit. Is that a thing?
