Just use AI art. I wouldn't mind
So uh, on a Voyage turn, if I play three cards and two of them are Throne Rooms, what happens next? Does Voyage overrule Throne Room's instructions?If Throne Room is your 3rd played card from your hand you won't be able to play another card from your hand. If Throne Room is the 2nd card you can play your next card twice because the 4th action is not played from your hand... I think
Last turn of the game. 1 Province left, and I can afford to buy it and tie. However I can't see a win with no +buy in the kingdom.Let's say you have 7 targets of $4 and 3 Provinces in a 30 card deck. So 20/30 ties, 7/30 wins and 3/30 losses. 7-3 = 4. So your EV (expected value) is positive and you should go for it. If however you have a lower rating than your opponent, a tie is worth more than 0 and your EV for taking the risk might be lower than not taking the risk.
Then I remembered something. I had Necromancer in my hand so I could play a Zombie Mason with it, hit one of the many $4 cards in my deck, gain a Duchy and win instead of tie.
The Zombie Mason hit a Province and I lost the game.
Don't get greedy.
So are these projects still being maintained?yes...
Being able to remember victory points is not strategy.Yes, the fact that current online Dominion allows you to see all previous information really bugs me. I think Iso had a great solution of only showing the past 2 turns.
I agree.
And i don't like seeing victory points during the game. We lose a lot of strategy at the end of the game...
Viewing victory points should not be automatically checked in lobby.
I was wondering if you could write a feature to run many different AIs head to head, so we can get a better idea of what counters what without tediously running each separate simulation. Also menagerie would be a welcome update!I suppose I could write a service that accepts a csv-file with a bunch of matchups and then spits out a csv with the results. If you're a programmer you're free to implement it yourself. The code is open source on Github.
