Innovation General Discussion / Re: Innovation stats: the low-hanging fruit

Awesome.

Can you correlate that with whether or not the applying player went on to win or lose?

e: Also, how are you generating these stats? Looks like R output to me. Is there a database you downloaded, or did you brew your own parser et al.?

I'd be interested in seeing which cards' dogmas are applied most.

Innovation General Discussion / Countering early scoring?

« on: April 03, 2013, 10:35:11 am »

Disclaimer: I only started playing 3 days ago.

To my newbie-self, it seems like the "easiest" wins happen when one player starts scoring and gets early achievements, while the other player is focused on building up the board for end-game. If that second, build-up player, doesn't get at least one or two early achievements to block the first player, they're probably going to lose.

Metalworking and Clothing in particular enable the score-early strategy, as they cannot be ignored and forces the other player to either react or lose.

Some example games:

http://scorepile.org/gamelog/201304/01/game-20130401-145222-f53a5e16.html

As a new player, what should I look out for if I want to try to execute a "build-up" strategy but don't want to get passed by early-scoring?

Goko Dominion Online / Re: Is it really that bad?

We don't need an undo button. We need the interface to make more sense like having your cards grow red when your opponent is playing Bishop. Instead, they glow green and where I come from, green means go. Red means stop. So, when I see Green, I'm like, hey, it's my turn. And, then I'm like, of crap, I just trashed a Nobles.

Basically this. I'd be in favor of having you tap on cards to select them, then click a button (where the DONE button is, but with a proper label) to actually "lock in" your action. Analogous to iso's checkboxes and submit buttons.

Where's the setting that lets me just click on the card to play it, instead of having to click on the tiny + in the bottom right hand corner of the card?

Also, where is the undo option akin to isotropic's?

Goko Dominion Online / Re: So how many people actually got into this round of beta?

« on: August 23, 2012, 08:48:50 am »

So I just logged into the beta, but apparently I am the only person online? v378?

I find it hard to believe I am the only one online :-S
