Hail smelly ones!

Hey all!

Name's Marciano, or just Mars for short. I got into Dominion roughly around a year ago, when I got the base game as gift.

It took me quite some time to get into the game though, as it was a misprint. No seriously, I was lacking like 9 different types of action card, and instead got around 30 Chancellors and Adventurers Why couldn't it be the other way around? T_T Some months later, I found out 999games, the distributor here in the Netherlands, would send me the missing cards for free. BAM, instant addiction!

I also bought The Dark Ages and Intrigue, and I currently can't decide which expansion I should get next. (Probably gonna be either Hinterlands, Seaside or Adventures) That's where you guys come in!

Got myself one of them fancy Goko accounts too, but gods, never thought I was THIS bad at the game. The bots are though, alright! T_T

Anyways, That's it for now I guess, see you guy around!

I've seen the warnings! Just give it to me straight doc! I'm a man, I can handle this!

Of the expansions you've expressed interest in, I'd recommend Hinterlands.  Well-rounded, well-balanced, lot of fun cards.  The only problem is it doesn't have any multi-card trashers, but you have that pretty well covered with Dark Ages anyway. ;)

Seaside all the way! Ambassador wars, awesome durations, and that rosy period where you and your play partner both think that pirate ships are good. Don't forget to check out the dominion league.

Point iguana. Not that points really matter with a result, but still.
Igu is town or trying the hardest he ever has as scum.

I don't appreciate being called smelly :P

I'm of the opinion that it doesn't really matter what you get next since you'll get them all eventually. 
I'd probably throw a vote in for Hinterlands as well though.  It adds a lot, but nothing too crazy (like Dark Ages).  It would probably spread out some of the insanity that you've got in Dark Ages.

Anyway, welcome!

Dominion: Adventurers, not quite as groundbreaking as Dominion: Adventures.

Anyways, thanks for the welcome and the recommendations guys!

If you're lucky, you'll get a box that forgot to include Pirate Ships.

But, seriously, the rest of Seaside makes up for the cards in it that are less good.

Yeah, I already looked at the cards on the wiki, durations seem pretty sweet.

No, they're lamer versions of Noble Brigands. Thieves are lamer versions of Pirate Ships.

Bomb, Cannon, and many of the Gunpowder cards can strongly effect gameplay, particularly in a destructive way

But... I like thieves. T_T Can't really judge, never used them, thieves have always served me well though.

Also, feel free to pick a card art avatar!
Thanks for the tip! =D

Alright, dunno if anybody's gonna even bother to read this, but I just bought Seaside on Goko. And right now I kinhda feel like an idiot for not getting it any sooner. XD Duration card engines are freaking awesome.
