Just to warn you, Goko isn't currently working for lots of people. (i reported it, and mentioned this match, so hopefully they'll fix it in time) Is there a backup plan if Goko fails to be fixed in time?

I just tested Goko, enough of it was working that I was able to get a game up and played against a human opponent. Hopefully this holds for the champion match.

If for some reason Goko isn't going to cooperate with us, then I'm guessing the match will have to be postponed. That's up to MQ and Stef -- the process is that they pick a time that's good for both Europe and America to watch, and that they can both make (I think) and then I schedule everything else around that.

so would 20:00 UTC be 15:00 eastern standard time?  i live in minnesota, so i was thinking i would see it at 2:00 pm  central time?

I'm pretty shocked that Candlestick Maker is so high.

I actually am not.  Its cheapness, +buy, +action, makes it very spamable and then it makes it very deadly as a 3 pile ender where a 3 pile game maybe wasnt an option.  Not to mention its most important function, those very useful coin tokens.  Its a must buy for me almost everytime!

Goko Dominion Online / Re: So... When is dominion going to be in the App Store?

« on: October 13, 2013, 09:04:47 pm »

I honestly have to wonder what the people there do. Why does it take them so long to achieve anything? Why do we still have issues like with Watchtower that should have been solved ages ago? It's like the game never progresses.

Goko Dominion is like the estranged love child between Rio Grande Games and online strategy gaming.  Where as isotropic was the older smarter sibling who was cast aside for no reason.

Goko Dominion Online / So... When is dominion going to be in the App Store?

« on: October 12, 2013, 11:12:17 am »

Hello, if anybody reads this, when is dominion going to be available for iOS devices?  We were told by Kate Connally, the new CEO of Goko,  that in early September it would be available in the App Store. It's been over a month later and still no dominion Goko app. Now I could be overlooking it in the App Store, but I also haven't heard anything either.  So, if anybody knows anything, please let me know. 
                  Thanks, Microman

I have noticed that when I create a game on goko and don't check the box, "request to join", and I have automatch set, a player usually joins my game in about 2 seconds and is usually in the set skill range.  Let me know if this does the same for you.  p.s. :  the submit button is still greyed out for me too.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Best strategy in this tableau?

« on: August 05, 2013, 09:47:19 pm »

I think Rogue plays no role here whatsoever. Getting it over an IGG early is terrible because it delays getting that Curse into their deck by at least two shuffles, and likely by a whole lot more, and by the time it's even possible for you to trash a Duchy or SR, their deck should be so full of junk that you're unlikely to hit (if not you've likely lost regardless of what you hit).

I don't see why you'd want to "desync" the Curse and IGG piles either. That can be decent as support to a  strategy already superior to IGG, but cannot in itself be a counter to IGG.

And getting a Market sounds even worse than getting a Rogue.

Yeah, I got to agree the IGG deck should be so junked up that the rouge probably wouldn't hit anything that important,  making it not important to buy any lighthouses in the first place.

95

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Best strategy in this tableau?

« on: August 05, 2013, 09:40:46 pm »

If you buy lots of Lighthouses as a safety net I don't see why Throne Room is very bad.


I disagree with microman about Lighthouse, if I bought into the IGG strategy Mic Qsenoch proposes, I would definitely want to go whole hog.  I would never buy a Market, because that could be an IGG instead.  And I wouldn't buy a 3$ Lighthouse until my opponent actually picks up an attack because until then it's strictly worse than Silver.

You make a good point, however The purchases of lighthouses and market would be be completely dependent on when and how many rouges you bought.  IGG would definently be my main focus.  If rouge gave you the choice to attack or gain a card, that would probably change my mind.  It is just to risky otherwise.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Best strategy in this tableau?

« on: August 05, 2013, 09:13:52 pm »

Your Rogue/Spy plan sounds like it's putting way too much effort into getting a marginal effect. How many Spys are you willing to buy over money? And then you draw them without Rogue and they've done basically nothing for you. The "de-syncing" of one or two curses will not hurt the IGG player significantly (if you are even able to do it at all). The real scare from Rogue is stealing Duchy/Silk Road, and so I agree that Rogue can play a part in a winning deck here, but you have to contest the IGGs (and contest them early). You can't afford to take all that junk while they gain so many copies of IGG (which is great for these long Silk Roads slogs). Your dream of getting 2 or 3 Provinces before buying IGG is unrealistic. You won't be buying Provinces with all those Curses in your deck.

Thank you Mic Qsenoch for basically summing up what I was going to say.  One thing to add though is if you buy enough lighthouses, with help from having a few markets, you could mostly avoid the attack of the rouge, hopefully preventing your apponent from stealing any of your silk roads.  Not to mention the fact that the will probably picking up cards from the trash that aren't silk roads before it even has a chance to steal silk roads.  Defiantly a long shot strategy if I have ever seen one.  I think IGG is a much safer and better strategy.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: What is your favorite vanilla card?

« on: July 23, 2013, 01:39:54 pm »

My vote goes to Bazaar.  It may be 2 more than village, but a village with a +$1 benefit is huge, especially with engines that lack economy.  Then it is gravy, possibly aiding(with help from draw) in drawing your whole deck and still having economy to keep building your engine.
