Goko Dominion Online / Re: Zaps

« on: September 12, 2012, 06:10:30 am »

Well I finally went for trying an act three. I went for Prosperity figuring it would give me the best chance to win against the starting advantage.

Level one you get 5 coppers 5 estates, the computer has 4 provinces, 5 silver, gold. Five free zaps. I won with the free zaps anyway, because you could build a Bishop deck reasonably quickly.

Sounds to me like there's no metagame.  That's what I enjoy the most about tabletop Dominion, and the metagamig was preserved in the Isotropic implementation.  The more I have to wait for the Goko release, and the more I hear about it, the less likely it gets that I will spend a single red cent on it.  HTML 5 FAIL

Dominion: Dark Ages Previews / Re: Knights!

Cultist on a Procession is much more awesome.

I can see where it would be, but I have yet to pull it off.  I'll have to be on the lookout for that one.  I kind of like the whole cultist/altar theme for its thematics moreso than the actual gameplay effects.

Dominion: Dark Ages Previews / Re: Knights!

« on: September 09, 2012, 06:34:30 pm »

So, I was playing Dark Ages with Robz and Axe Knight over the weekend, and we tested out a few of the kingdoms.  We did a lot with Knights.  I sort of monopolized them, but because I was focusing on those, and Robz was just buying Silver and Gold, he still managed to pull a win, despite my incessant trashing.

Also, Graverobbing Pillages is a lot of fun, especially when you never actually bought a Pillage.  Also a good way to recover your Knights when they trash each other.

Cultist is a beast.  It can work so fast because of the chaining, and Ruins just slow your deck down to absolutely nothing.

I personally find ruins to be a bit of a double-edged sword.  Since they're not completely useless like curses (though they are pretty close), they can be worked around.  Have you ever tried sacrificing cultists on the altars?  That can be pretty rad, too.

Fortunately or unfortunately, depending on how you view it, forced trashing is no longer as frustrating to me as it used to be.  There is no longer an absolute guarantee that trashing a card means it's gone permanently, so even forced trashing can be worked around with the proper foresight.

I think at this point my single-favorite card from DA is feodum, though that is most certainly subject to change the more I play.

Dominion General Discussion / Re: Greatest Isotropic Moments of 2011

« on: December 13, 2011, 05:40:45 pm »

My greatest Domnion moment on Isotropic came fairly recently, December 6 of this year.  It involved two "SLAM" achievements (20 points in one turn) in the same game, made possible by a turn-12 purchase of six(!) Grand Markets.  The two slams came on my 14th and 17th turns, and my opponent then resigned on his 17th turn.
