Technically, this topic falls outside the board rules since I'm not providing an isotropic log to the game (sorry about that), but it still seems like the best place to post it. Anyway the BGG thread should give context - TC was asking about if anything can beat BM + Council Room on this board. Looking at the engine components you have - Village, Smithy, Throne Room, Lab, Market, it really feels to me like you should be able to manage something better. You do lack any kind of trashing or sifting, but you have extra actions, buys and draw, which means you have most of what an engine should need.
I did make a suggestion on how an engine could be built in the thread, but it didn't seem to get much interest - one person tested it and said it wasn't very effective. I doubt what I suggested was optimal, but I would at least think it should have a reasonable chance of working, so perhaps it needs adjusting?
Am I wrong? Is this really just a big money board? Or how can the engine work if not?
