Title: Zapminion general strategy
Post by: Tombolo on July 19, 2014, 10:56:13 pm
So, apparently I'm dedicated enough to grind through all the Adventures, but not dedicated enough to give the AI a fair fight and risk losing once in a while.  I usually use two zaps for a normal game, and three for the bosses, turning my Coppers into Silvers.

This has actually gotten me interested in how this changes up the strategy!

-+Buy becomes important because your deck will shoot right past most engine components
-In general, it seems to kinda favor BM+X across the board, unless you can get good +Buy
-Trashers seem weaker because you start with less junk and a bigger headstart on a good deck.
-Maybe junkers too, since the game doesn't last as long?
-Sifters seem handy to me because I always green too early and then wind up trying to piledrive while the bot bumbles around and then I choke.  That is probably just my issue, though.

Actually when you zap everything to full silver, opening Province is just too good with all that silver

In engine kingdoms it's better to zap down the opponents to buy more time to build the engine.

Honestly unless it's a heavy attack board and more than 2 players, starting with all Silvers and Duchies and just rushing VP wins everytime. Maybe against smart players and a really strong engine you can beat that, but bots are morons who cant.
