Let's Discuss ... / Re: Let's Discuss Empire Events: Wedding?
« on: July 22, 2016, 09:59:40 am »
Wedding is a great way to gain Gold, when Gold is a good gain.  It's important to remember though that Gold is often not the best card for your deck, and the fact that you're paying for it over two turns, and the 1 VP, which are great bonuses, do not automatically make the Gold a better card once it's in your deck.

Sure! I certainly buy Wedding over a Gold (if I want Gold at all). The +1VP just seems a bonus.
I believe it is great for BM rush strategies once you can get the lead and the engine player may not catch up.

Just found out about Mafia games.
Never realized what it was.
I believe I should play some.

Hi everybody,

Maybe it is a bit late to introducing myself since I have already played two League seasons (E division of course  :-[).

I am a Brazilian guy doing PhD in Biomolecular Physics. I usually travel to Germany once in a year to record some data for my thesis.
It was in Germany that I found Dominion. I used to play IRL with some friends, just to have fun. Chapel was really weak for me since it did not make sense trashing my economy. I used to buy all the cards available in a kingdom, supposing that was the best thing to do. That is why my picture here is from Menagerie  ;D
Once I found out Dominion Online and the Strategy Forum. I remember reading "The Five Deck Types" from theory on the blog... Those texts really helped me to improve my playing (by a lot!). I played the Dominion Meisterschaft Championship in Germany and I was crashed in the preliminary group by a Conspirator engine pretty badly. Ever since I realized a whole new level in Dominion! How you can spend hours discussing/playing a single board!

I am planning to post an article about Bonfire soon. It would be nice to hear your feedback.

Dominion Articles / Re: How to play Lost Arts.
« on: July 01, 2016, 07:52:45 am »
Lost Arts on Torturer can be brutal. I had one league game something like silver, silver, Torturer, Torturer, Lost Arts on Torturer, Torturer, Torturer, Torturer and opponent resigned. OK, maybe some luck was involved but YMYOSL :-)

Similar holds for witch and mountebank. With LA witch its almost same as cultist. Mountebank is bit luck based as you need to spike 6 reasonably early, then playing multiple mbanks is brutal.

Indeed, LA on Torturer is amazing. Add Ferry on the board and it is just insane! Nice discussion by the way.

Dominion League / Re: Sharing a Making Fun account?
« on: May 30, 2016, 06:40:17 pm »
My husband and I are both in the league (he's in E2, I'm in E1).  His account has all cards - mine of course only has base.  Would it be acceptable to use his account to play games if my opponent doesn't have most/all of the sets?  He doesn't care about his pro rating.

That is nice!! I really would like to have my girlfriend playing Dominion Online as well! But she quit playing because I started playing "competitively"  :-[ :(

I took this info from the wiki:

Quote
With the release of Empires, how Possession works has been changed. Now, when Possessing someone, the Possessing player also gains all tokens taken during the Possessed turn. This is in contrast to the Official FAQ as originally published. The exception to this is Pirate Ship Coin tokens, which would still be put on the Possessed player's mat.

I believe this was not implemented yet. I figured out today when I used Ferry to reduce Possession cost in a Possessed turn (it did not work out as I thought  :-\)
Should I report this in MF forum or here is fine?

Game Reports / My craziest match ever (KC-Bishop-Fortress)

Code: [Select]
Save, Travelling Fair, Sage, Bishop, Feast, Fortress, Scavenger, Worker's Village, Artificer, Counterfeit, Mint, King's Court

KC-Bishop-Fortress = skyrocket your points. Much fun!
(Oops... I have more than 100 points but cannot end the end. Fortunately my opponent helps me by emptying colonies  ;D)

Help! / Re: A Serious Question Regarding Rebuild
« on: May 11, 2016, 06:10:03 pm »
Big Money is not even close to the best I could do if Rebuild wasn't here.
Big Money can get 4 provinces on average in about 17 turns. I ended the game with 5 Provinces (I trashed one with Salvager to quicken the game, so it's really 6) in 16.

I said if rebuild was not on the board...
If I am not mistaken, you had only one province at the end of the game.

If Rebuild was not there, I believe playing BigMoney is the best you can do.
However Herald is a good way to play your rebuilds every turn.

Maybe buying more than two Rebuilds? I would prefer rebuild instead of heralds.
Your opponent had the same amount of points as you with too less heralds...

I hope my thoughts were helpful.

Help! / Re: Losing Gardens split is that bad?
« on: April 25, 2016, 08:38:10 am »
It is nice to have some simulation data to clear things up.
I feel that in some games being the first player is really an advantage (mainly in the fast ones).

You are totally right. I made a crass mistake that (maybe) cost me the game.
Thanks for helping!

Thank you guys for all the advices. It seems that losing the split is really bad here.

I admit I made a mistake buying a Garden on turn 3. But lets suppose I have chosen Ironworks instead.

I think you should gain Gardens with Ironworks on turn 3.
If you draw Copper you get to $4 for a 2nd Gardens.
If you draw Estate, buy Beggar. (better than Silver).

Unfortunely, I only could gain one Gardens on turn 3 (as I did).
And I agree about going beggars with 3 or less (instead of silver). But I think it is not a big mistake.

I am playing E League-division and I am a noob at Dominion  :-[. Any reply will be appreciated.
But I believe after losing Gardens split at this match I was hopeless.

http://gokosalvager.com/static/logprettifier.html?http://dominion-game-logs.s3.amazonaws.com/game_logs/20160413/log.0.1460507177848.txt

Both open Ironworks/Beggar.
I admit I made a mistake buying a Garden on turn 3. But lets suppose I have chosen Ironworks instead.
On my turn 5, I draw both my Ironworks with my opponent with 4 Gardens already.
I think he got really lucky getting double Gardens on turns 4 and 5.

After that I tried to grab some Provinces (actually I just got one) but the game was over at turn 16.
I know I did not play optimally here. My question is if I had any chances to win this match even losing Gardens split.

Any thoughts?
