Joined this one:

It's my first ever game. I read the rule book last night. Go easy on me and I apologise in advance for any rediculous n00b plays and/or ruining the game.

And don't neglect your military. You'll be tempted to; I know I am. After all, everything else you build you see an immediate benefit. Build a farm/mine, and you see production. Build arenas, theatres, and philosophy, and you see happiness.
Happiness is a bit like strength: It just sits there and doesn't produce anything.

Quote
... strength can be important in many regards. It makes other civilizations less likely to attack you.

In two-player games, strength is central. In four-player games, it is important not to fall behind in strength. Someone raids you, you sacrifice a Knights and play a Defense card. The next one plunders you cause you are weaker for the scarifice. Your turn. Oops, no resources to replenish. The third one plays War over Territory. One turn later and you lack three yellow pips so your workers frantically multiply and idle just to avert civil disorder. From then on, you are like a jeweller's shop with a smashed window.

If you are last but trailing the leader by not more than a Defense card you may be fine for a turn. If you are better than last, you may seed events and collect the bonus (and maybe even bid for that territory that comes up). You may skip building strength but have to watch the strength score closely. If you are leading in strength, you may even seed and profit from the upcoming event. If you are leading by a bit of a margin ... hey ... is that a Raid card in your hand?

Man, now I want to get in on one of these games, probably after playing a few 2P solitaire games against myself.

I might make a new one in the morning maybe.

But not strictly better, because the spinoff can have a different cost than the expansion.

I would join another one now that my last game is close to the end.

If it doesn't fill, let me know. I've got a few ending soon so could pick up another.

Question about the interface:

What's with the unhappy faces at the top of the screen with the mouseover text of "Corruption"? As far as I gather, I've got no corruption until I use enough blue discs to pass the -2R symbol on the blue bank. Is it just a warning that I'm getting close?

It means that if you spent no more resources, you will have corruption.

I've made number 11 (ID:159512). It's only a two player game and I'd appreciate if you only joined if you're able to check back every few hours most days. My first game's going a bit slower than I'd have liked for my first (learning) game, so I intend this one to go a bit faster and probably overtake my first game quickly. I'm hoping to be able to play at least 2-3 turns each day, but obviously it's okay if there's the odd day you can't manage to make that many, I'll have a few days like that too (for example today, if the game started immediately I'll probably only be able to play 1-2 turns today).

Password is Dominion, obviously.

I'd join, as I haven't played a two player game yet.
I'm able to make several turns per day in general, but I'm not sure about my availability this weekend.
Is this ok?

If you've not played 2 player yet that'll put us on a (kind of) even footing so it sounds good to me. It's fine if you can't do too much at the weekend as long as we pick up the pace a bit next week. Go for it. Thanks.

Either of you can rename this game to f.DStrategy 12 if you like (play -> rename game).

It's good if we keep the same prefix so we can filter for all those forum matches.

And I've posted lucky 13.  Prefer newish players, will be semi-slow.

Edit:  Of course the password is Dominion.

I can't see the board in f.DStrategy.6 anyore, it just shows me the navigation bar with a big white emptyness where the game is supposed to be. Can you still see it? Anyone know how to fix this?
I can still see the boards of other games, switching browser doesn't help, and i can still se the journal and the discard pile via the play tab

Ok, now it says its under maintenance

I searched for the game and got "Maintenance on site. Site will be back in a few minutes.".

Joined. I dunno if I'll school you, I think my opening play is pretty solid but I'm really bad at working out what to do in age II onwards.
