Interesting.
My acquisition rate is 92.4, which is about the same as the average (91.9)
Win rate with: 1.16 ± 0.16
Win rate without: 1.25 ± 0.56
(population average for both is about 1.00)
But what does this mean? My overall stats suggest I'm better than the average player, but that doesn't tell me whether my acquisition rate is on target. Also, there's a lot of uncertainty in my win rate without, what with me turning it down in only 1 in 10 of my fishing village games.
The only time I don't spam FV is when there are no terminals I want to use.
I'd refine this broad generalisation as follows:
If there are terminals that I want to play multiple of each turn, then I strongly consider fishing village.Exception 1: if the terminal doesn't draw cards, and there's no other good source of +cards, I'll likely pass on fishing village. For example, Fishing Village / Bridge doesn't work as well as it ought to unless you have +cards.
Exception 2: If its more important to get to $5 fast, I'd be more inclined to go silver/silver. For example, Witch or Mountebank. Mountebank of particular note here, as the deck dilution will make it unlikely I'll have two terminals to play in one turn, and it doesn't draw cards.
Exception 3: Even if there is +cards, if there is no +buy I'll consider whether its worth building an engine at all. For example, I suspect Envoy + Big Money is faster than the same +fishing villages.
