I'm a long time, rather mediocre player, but new to the forum as a contributor (.... I'm a long time lurker)
I stumbled onto a powerful combo, largely by accident, so I thought I would share it.
The kingdom I was playing included both Knights and Pirate Ships, so I was looking for a strategy based on avoiding an economy based on money, and also trying to minimize cards in the 3-6 cost range to protect myself from Knights.
I originally was going to try a Native Village-Bridge combo, and bought a few Poor House's as an after thought. But I soon realized that with one native village and 2 poor houses, I could buy a Province every turn, and then put that Province away with the Native Village at the start of the next turn. Won pretty easily.
Now, I acknowledge that I was playing solitaire against Goko's artificial intelligence, so a real player may have realized what was going on and figured out a counter before I bought out all the provinces. Still, a satisfying win.
