What's your main misgiving about working with big data from the online implementation?When did you stop beating your wife? I don't have misgivings about working with data from the online implementation.
Two of the things I noticed was how low Raider is listed (I've always thought it very nasty) and that SCOUT ISN'T THE LAST CARD!!!!!
No comment yet about how Fair is a Travelling Fair that doesn't travel? Such great flavor choices. Makes me hope that there is a project called "Minstrel" that just gives you +1 action.
Is Innovation working properly in the preview? If I gain a Witch, it will draw two cards and deal a curse, but then - even if I have extra actions and buys - I can't play actions or treasures that I draw.I dunno. It's pretty sweet in the curse battle to dole a curse out immediately without having to cycle through your deck to do so. REally same with any attack. Also great with gainers etc. Plus since its on first buy, if instead of witch you played militia, you'd get 2 more coins to buy with and the attack.
That seems to make some amount of sense, but it's far more limited of an effect than I guessed for $6.
So far i think innovation is pretty strong.
The way I read it I think it should not cost an action.
Same with for example Throne Room or Cultist.
Not sure what you're responding to; the thing you quoted didn't imply that it would cost an action. But you are correct, any time an effect instructs you to play a card; playing that card does not require spending an action to do so.

Despite there being four members of the Acting Troupe, and it producing four Villagers, I still think of Acting Troupe as just drawing more people to your kingdom, not as laborers themselves.

Jomini thinks people reading this board will assume that "debt or pots" clearly refers to brownies because that, and only that, could possibly make any contextual sense with the rest of the sentence.
The only ones I can't quickly think of a story for are Lookout/Sentry with regard to structures/locations. They see an Estate and... ?... the invading hordes who are approaching it (the ones the master said to watch out for) ... and they do nothing.
You stab him in the heart.Is that what trashing means? I never realised. I feel so bad. I'm not sure I can play this game any more.
You thought Knights were just tickling everybody? And Graverobber, what does he do? Death Cart? If you have alternative narratives, they might be entertaining...
I understand 'trash' to mean 'remove from your dominion', by whatever means, violent or otherwise. The narrative depends on what causes the card to be trashed.
I suppose in the absence of knowing what was trashing my Flag Bearer, I naturally assumed a non-violent explanation. Because I'm that kind of person.
But certainly there are lots of possibilities; could be stabbed in the heart by a knight, could die of natural causes and be carried away in a death cart, could be promoted (upgrade your Flag Bearer into a Governor?), could be traded away for silver, or could be pushed into the sewers.
If an Ambassador causes everyone else to gain Flagbearers, who ends up with the flag?
Like if the first thing you thought when you saw Scholar was "ITS PROFESSOR SYCAMORE!"
...and true mastery is realizing that Silk Road isn't an action at all!Come to think of it, I will have to think about which Villager-giving cards count as 'Villages' in my random kingdom generator.
I think it’s a case-by-case thing. Acting Troupe and Recruiter count as villages. Sculptor and Silk Merchant don’t.
I think they should all count. They all enable more than one terminal action to be played in the same turn.
For pedantic purposes, sure. For a kingdom generator, no.
Isn't the purpose of "always include a Village" in a Kingdom generator more or less to "always provide me with a way to play multiple terminals per turn"?
To borrow an old saying: Knowledge is knowing that Silk Road is a village. Wisdom is not trying to use it as one.
(sorry, sorry)

Some cards have translation difficulties in Chinese. Such as Thief/Bandit/Rogue.Some plausible future card names that would be doublets of existing cards: Peon, Money, State, Esquire, Eremite, Fief, Fee
Less likely ones: Bench, Fabric, Place, Guy, Wit, Fjord
Using such similar words might eventually cause translation difficulties, if that hasn't already happened.
Ducat is strictly better that Candlestick MakerIt is not. Treasures and non-terminal Actions are similar but not identical.
Let's take a hypothetical Action-Silver: +1 Action +2 Coins
I dare to claim that it would have to cost $4 because a lot of cards prefer that over Silver: Throne Room variants, draw-to-X, Scrying Pool, Golem, Herald, Ghost and probably a bunch I forgot.
The advantage of the Treasure over the Action is that it cannot be drawn yet. I think that the former on average outweighs the latter.
As far as I can find there is no niche case where you can benefit from the virtual coin you can get with priest + night trashers.It's Ball.
