Variants and Fan Cards / Re: A non-prize version of Princess
« on: May 11, 2014, 02:52:44 pm »
It only works once, so theres no point in playing more than 1 per turn as the second one is mostly just a Ruined Market. The buying restriction weakens it where it doesnt need weakening because the effect is so nerfed. Marcory is right that Bridge is better. Plus the wording is kind of strange with the "only for 2 buys" thing.

I don't think this is right. Though it says "while a princess is in play", each one in play still has that ability so they would stack. Either way the wording is confusing. But if he wanted it to allow only 1 to work, it should use "if this is the first time you played Princess this turn" clause.

The wording is confusing. Is it meant to be different than "while this is in play"?

Village should be one : +2 actions is a big part of Dominion.

Except it wasn't unique. Festival in Base set also gave that, and Throne Room when combined with a non-Terminal.

Great Hall. It's just such a cool way to have VP not take up space in your deck.

I wonder if Great Hall helped some new players realize that having +1 card / +1 action was almost like the card wasn't in your deck at all (thus helping to realize that things like lots of villages and no terminals were pointless).

Rezoning  - $3
Action
Reveal cards from your deck until you reveal two Victory cards. Put those Victory cards into your hand and discard the other revealed cards. You may return any number of victory cards from your hand to the Supply, and gain a Victory card costing up to the sum of the costs of the cards returned.


I have no idea about the balance of this, but I like the concept. An interesting variant on Forge.

Mobilization - $3
Action – Reaction
+2 Cards
-----
When another player plays an Attack card, you may reveal this from your hand and discard it. If you do, +2 Cards. You may choose to resolve this effect before or after the attack finishes resolving.

Off the top of my head, I can't think of good reasons to give that choice. Resolving after an attack finishes should almost always be better. For most attacks, it wouldn't normally matter (various edge cases aside such as reshuffling to draw the 2 cards). For discard attacks, you would want to draw after. And the "resolve this later" clause isn't really well-defined in the game rules, you can't finish resolving a card during a later time like that. I would probably just use the Horse Traders "set aside and draw on next turn" wording.

Propaganda - $4
Action – Reaction
+1 Card
+1 Action
-----
When another player plays an Action card, you may reveal this from your hand and discard it. If you do, you may treat that card as an Attack type card.
-----
When another player plays an Attack card, you may reveal this from your hand and set it aside. If you do, +1 Card. At the start of your next turn,+1 Action, and return this to your hand.

"When another player plays an Action card" is a bad event to have a reaction to. It means that in games using this, players need to play their actions cards extra slowly, to give time in between each one to see if you are going to react to it or not.

Stable
Type: Action
Cost: Priceless

Play a game of online Dominion that doesn't crash.
...and that card could be called Isotropic.

You cannot buy this if you have any gokoins in play.

Haven't we seen or discussed this a few times, a while ago? Or at least very similar things. I think as a whole this is a very strong effect... most certainly not a $2; probably $4 or $5. Bigger issue is that it causes a lot of AP.

Conspiracy Theory--Action--$0

State an integer from 1-10. Each opponent reveals his hand. If any opponent has the stated number of Conspirators in his hand, you gain all of those conspirators.

Conspiracy Theory--Action--$0

Work secretly with a friend to create a website for discussing Dominion strategy.

Log Chipper - $3 Action

+$2+
-------
When you buy this, you may overpay for it. If you do, gain a card costing exactly the amount you overpaid.


Strictly worse than Woodcutter (except cost), because you cannot buy an extra $0 cost card for free.

Yesterday I ran a mile. So I'm sure that sounds just silly to all those people who run marathons and all that, but I haven't been able to run a mile non-stop since 8th grade.

Nice!  It's the first mile that's the hardest.  As someone who makes running a regular part of my life the hardest thing about running is not actually the running.  It's getting out to do the running.  Keep it up Gendo!

Thanks! Just finished another. I agree, actually making myself do it seems to be the hardest part. I'm running indoors, on a treadmill, which is a bit easier.

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Lobby Size Limits

Even with the limit removed, it seems to randomly put people in different rooms, which is annoying.

I don't know what's going on for sure, but it seems to me like they committed half-finished changes on the live server, and we're seeing the result.

This is ridiculous with Ironworks. Should be a good bit better than Ironworks / Silk Road or Ironworks / Gardens.

But the main point is that they are the same as Treasure map in that they are dead cards unless you can ensure they are drawn in the same hand.
But they aren't. They still junk the opponent. You don't even have to buy a Yin at all. +1 Action and handing out a Ruins is powerful enough for $3, I'd say.

Oh! I see now, it's not conditional with the discard. Then never mind most of what I said.

I think the non-conditional clause should be before the "discard a card, if you do" clause. This would eliminate that confusion (which it's easy to see how one would be unsure which it is with the current wording).

reason why i love dominion #476: the weakest $5 card (counting house) is a great addition to a deck when the opponent has the strongest $5 card (mountebank)

Stratego did it first.

So I just installed Salvager for the first time. As soon as I did, when I refreshed the page, I got "fsWebSocketConnection" error, and I was no longer signed in. I get the same error each time I try to log in.

I agree with Rush. While this does sound like a somewhat weak $5, it's still not bad. There's plenty of Kingdoms where you would buy a few Smithies for $5. It's a great card idea, a simple Smithy+.

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Goko Ace of Spades
« on: April 25, 2014, 12:33:40 pm »
Yeah, I really think a simple "click here to name a non-existent card" button would work so much better. The Ace looks very strange next to the other cards, and I'm sure many people will be confused as the OP was, especially those who aren't Dominion fanatics to the point where they realize that naming a card that's not in your deck is a thing you might do.
