Dominion: Renaissance Previews / Re: Renaissance Cards Power Level (first impressions)

« on: November 05, 2018, 09:28:18 am »

This was hard. Especially Projects. I feel that almost everyone are obviously strong in the way that you probaby always going to get one, but how impactful they will be is entirely depended on, well, the kingdom. They change the game, but more in a landmark kind of way than most Events.

Some more than others though. Can we call 10 capitalism-level already?

Dominion: Renaissance Previews / Re: Renaissance rulebook is up

« on: November 05, 2018, 09:22:22 am »

The biggest surprise for me is Cathedral.

I'm so pleased. Been waiting so long for that name to show up and was heartbroken when the only card to beat chapel in trashing-crazyness was named Donate. Now everything is good with the world again.

When it comes to names I'm a bit annoyed with Piazza, I associate the name with discard for coffers or at least something with +buy. This feels more like a Herald/throne room thing. Ah, well, that is details. At least it's probably not at risk at be confused with Plaza being a sideway card.

Dominion: Renaissance Previews / Re: Fun or interesting combos with Capitalism

I don't whether this qualifies as unexpected, but Bank can be become pretty strong, with significantly less effort.

omg... imagine a super-engine and then Bank at the end. And it stack...

I think a certain Chase will be pleased with this card

Dominion: Renaissance Previews / Re: Pssst.... (Eager anticipation) When's it shipping?

« on: November 05, 2018, 05:15:32 am »

Capitalism...whoa!  Most interesting thing in the set.

...and then I read Fleet.  I'm also intrigued by Crop Rotation.  Should I be buying Duchies with 5 earlier?  Estates with spare buys and 2 bucks in midgame?

Just play as with Shephard I could imagine, not too mindboggling.

But Capitalism, yeah. How, what, huh, oh man.

Torturer, Rogue is maybe other choices I couldn't find in the list.

Variants and Fan Cards / Re: Dominion: Jackpot

« on: October 30, 2018, 02:49:43 pm »

Royal Blessing seems fine except perhaps the not limiting of card types. So you can play a Curse 3 times? You can play a Victory 3 times? It's weird. If it's not too wordy, it would be good to say "Action, Treasure, or Night card". Or just keep it as "Action or Treasure", since Night only exists in 1 specific set.

That shouldn't be necessary. Compare with bonfire that have the same wording to exclude estates and curses. I don't see how this card allows you to put those categories into play?

Edit: got the wrong card, confused it with riverside village, nevermind.

Hi, I checked the secret history but it didn't quite answer it for me. Why is Seaway different than Pathfinder, Training and Lost Arts? Why doesn't it simply gives +buy to any card? Was it simply too boring for some reason, or was it anything else?

Also, he is actually getting help with playtesting from certain fan designers,  or at least one; Last Footnote.

Again it seems like you think that Dominion is a form of multimillion dollar industri. It's really not, but it is succesfull enough to still be a living game worth creating new expansions for and having àn active community still . That's awesome enough, for now.

When it comes to the actual fancards they indeed do seem very cool sometimes, I kinda wish there was an official possibility to create and play with fancards but I doubt DXV is very interested in looking into that.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Theme and mechanics themes

« on: October 18, 2018, 01:09:43 pm »

So why are trashers religious in nature? My assumption is that it's about "cleansing"; at least the original ideal would go back to going to a Chapel to cleanse yourself of Curses. But with so many non-evil things being trashed; one could also think that it's about religion being responsible for burning books, or hindering scientific progress.

Or accepting donations.

Yeah, it's rather the connection with the church accepted donations and therefor got a connection to the regimes that helped them both establish their power. The church take cares of things you can spare to get rid off and your ruling becomes much smoother and effective there of. Pretty neat.

General Discussion / Re: Random Stuff Part IV

« on: October 18, 2018, 02:11:39 am »

I dreamt up a card last night. Unfortunately it was horrible:

Dominating
8D (!)
Name a card. If you play it this turn you may gain a copy of it.

I even remember realizing in the dream that I must be dreaming because this card cannot possibly exist, not even as a fan card. Not even the name is anything but plain off. :/

Bonus-info: The setsymbol was a coconut, maybe that at least can be a foretelling of a future expansion...

Pixie/Highway

Just tried it, works amazingly. With a little help from workers village I managed to empty the provinces in 12 turns despite quite bad draws. Well found!

Dominion General Discussion / Re: card ranking lists

« on: October 10, 2018, 05:51:32 am »

i'm with u.  How is this even close to that low. It thins ur dek, turns estates into useful cards.

It doesn't thin your deck, it replaces stop cards with other stop cards, and it is itself a stop card that requires you to get another stop card (Potion) before you can even get it. Turning Estates into Gold is not as great as it sounds when you can only start doing that on your third shuffle after adding in two glorified Curses to your deck.

I actually meant to respond to transmogrify.  Didn't see someone the transmute part.  yeah transmute is awful.  And belongs at the bottom of any list.

I still don't get how the Adam H list has Transmogrify as the worst card in the game.  It must be some kind of inside joke.

They don't. They have Transmute at the bottom. Transmogrify is at 191.

Game Reports / Re: Dear My Opponent: I am Sorry

« on: October 09, 2018, 10:32:35 am »

Is there an "awww"- thread? I just met an opponent playing with Rats for the first time. They ended up with a deck consisting of.. 20 rats. So cute.

Are you sure you played against a human being?

Yes, we chatted some time afterwards and they told me it was the first time they saw "the damned thing". I did nothing different in my first game with the card, although we were 4 players with two of us trying out the same thing so it wasn't that bad, but I certainly got the five rats-hand before it dawned on me you can't just use it as a usual trasher..

What's your main misgiving about working with big data from the online implementation?

When did you stop beating your wife? I don't have misgivings about working with data from the online implementation.

You just don't seem to do it despite having plenty of good opportunities and reasons to do so.

What data are you referring to even? And heh, isn't those tasks something for, you know, the forum dedicated to the game rather than the creator himself? If we found something worth noting he will notice, but otherwise digging through those kind of things isn't something I would want DXV doing if he isn't enjoying it for some reason. He has more important tasks to do. Like, you know, creating more cards and games..

Villain is by the way pretty sweet with shelters, hits right away. Feels pretty thematic, it could really belong in Dark Ages without feeling awkward..

Dominion: Renaissance Previews / Re: Renaissance Previews #1: Mountain Village, Priest, Seer, Scholar, Experiment

« on: September 26, 2018, 08:04:49 am »

OK by merit of which edge case do I get Zombie Mason into a Herald or Golem deck?

You have a Lurker in your deck, your Herald or Golem plays it, and you don't want to make any piles smaller by trashing cards from them because otherwise your opponent might 3-pile.

or just Rouge. (that card have failed me so many times #neverattacks)

I've played two games at Dominion.Games, neither of which had new cards. Do only subscription players get them?

You have to specifically choose the Renaissance previews option.

For the record it is not ranked games so feel free to mess around as much as you like.

Your Village doesn't work, because it doesn't give a way to get Coffers. Sure it might still be fine as a vanilla Village for in a game without Coffers, but it would still be really weird.

Give it +1 coffers instead of +card should be an easy enough solution.

Simon, you seem to think that weird -> probably scum. Totally wrong! Weird -> probably town. That might not be 100% true for everyone, but it's a pretty good general rule.

Skumpy is like one of the most obv!town players that has ever obv!towned without any PR stuff.

I know, that's why I don't want to vote. I guess I rather mean that it starting to become anti-town and distracting and that it annoys me to the part I could see a point in a lynch there.

Still happy with my vote, especially as it's not getting much traction and I think we might have scum on the Skumpy- wagon. Therefor I'm also willing to vote raptor if that seems to be a better choice than Swan for most people.

Gkrieg want to lynch me, huh? Such a surprise.
