So, I've been reading some posts on game reports and ended up finding this one:
http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=156.0

A couple questions came to mind:
1)  In the early game, when should WW decide to go City (or any village w/draw) over Festival, e.g., you need the draw to pull cards together to Amb back?  See turn 11.
2)  I've played some pretty fun Amb games where I end up getting 3x Amb, buy a curse, and flood them w/ curses w/o returning any until they're all gone.  Is this too slow?  What about sending terminals, e.g., Ambassador once you're thin?  When would you proceed like the game posted above, i.e., not focus on major spamming?
3)  Do I need to look at more recent posts to find my answers? 

Thanks.

The times when you get a Curse to send back, from my experience, are either when you've pulled far ahead of your opponent in the Amb war (in which case you've basically won anyway if you don't screw things up), or when your opponent is trying to beat you with a non-Amb strategy.

Maybe you want to read this article (and/or the linked forum thread) about Amb: http://dominionstrategy.com/2013/02/18/seaside-ambassador-201/

There's also a paragraph about adding a Curse to your deck to give them to your opponent.

This article is the best article anywhere on these forums. It's even better than my article on Jack. I highly recommend reading it and taking all advice it gives you as 100% Golden Completely Foolproof™ <3

I just re-read it earlier and it amazed me that it's still completely up-to-date even though it's over two years old and players have gotten so much better in that time.

Yeah, how could it have survived all the recent revolutions and upheavals in Ambassador theory?
