Topics - Davio

#1
It's in one of these games:

Joining game #98002645 on tokyo.
Joining game #98002706 on tokyo.


This was my turn:
Turn 4 - Davio
D plays 2 Coppers and a Silver. (+$4)
D buys and gains a Villa.
D puts a Villa into their hand.
D gets +1 Action.
D plays a Villa using Way of the Mole.
D gets +1 Action.
D discards 2 Estates.
D shuffles their deck.
D draws a Copper, an Estate, and a Junk Dealer.
D plays a Junk Dealer.
D draws a Copper.
D gets +1 Action.
D gets +$1.
D trashes an Estate.
D plays 2 Coppers. (+$2)
============
D draws 2 Coppers, a Silver, and 2 Estates.


I had expected to get an extra buy phase because buying the Villa had returned me to my action phase. Where I put the ===-line is where I should have been able to buy cards, but it just skipped it and continued to the clean-up phase.

I don't know whether this interaction is caused by Villa or Way of the Mole, the Junk Dealer didn't matter.

AI bugs / Wolf Den and Castles

Lord Rattington bought 3 Castles with Wolf Den in play (which gives -2VP for each unique card) which may not have been a good strategy. :)

Feature Requests / Rule change: Druid
28 February 2022, 03:56:34 PM
Druid's text reads:

+1 Buy

Receive one of the set-aside boons, (leaving it there).


Sometimes, the boons are not that interesting and I just care about the +Buy.
But to do that I need to choose one of the boons which has "you may" in its text and just do nothing.

Would it be a good idea to revise it so that the text becomes:

You may receive one of the set-aside boons, (leaving it there).

How to Play / Dominion: Allies rules?
28 February 2022, 12:03:02 PM
Hi all,

It's Davio, been playing Dominion on and off for, well, more years than I'd like to admit.
Today I saw that Allies was in preview, so I'm super excited to try it out, but I can't find the rules anywhere.

I noticed some cards gave "favors" (as in "+1 favor") which mattered for end game scoring and some cards had the subtype "liaison" which I don't yet know what it does.

If there would be an official link with either card rules or the official rules, that would be great.  ;D

So from what I've gathered:

"Favor is a resource which you can gain and/or spend, depending on what specific cards say". It looks like it always comes with a special card, which looks the same as an 'event, project, landmark or way' and always refers to a 'group of people' such as a cult or a league, and is set aside which tells you what favors can be used for in this particular game.

It looks like cards with the subtype 'liaison' can gain favors.

When Mountain Pass is in play and a Province is bid, it seems like the bots don't bid on it.
It doesn't show in the logs and I get the VP tokens each time.

Because there is nothing in the log I don't know whether the bots don't bid or it just doesn't show in the logs.
#6
I practically always grant undo requests (I can't remember any time I refused them) as most of the time, they are honest mistakes, like accidentally clicking/playing a terminal action when you had another +Action card to play as well.

Would it be useful to add an 'auto grant undo' feature which automatically grants undo requests if no new information was revealed?

For instance if my opponent's starting hand is Village, Merchant Ship + 3 Coppers and he played Merchant Ship first. Playing the Merchant Ship has no effect on me whatsoever and no effect on his own strategy, so this seems like an easy undo.

As an example where we would still manual approval, his hand could be Village, Swindler + 3 Coppers and he played Swindler, replacing my Province with another Province, ending the game in my favor. Now granting his undo request would be very silly for me as I would give away a sure win.

AI bugs / Bot never trashes with Counterfeit
18 December 2016, 08:15:10 AM
It buys Counterfeit like crazy, but never uses its throning/trashing effect, it just uses it as a Copper.

As per the title, I played a Survivors with one card in my deck and couldn't choose to topdeck or discard, it topdecked automatically.

Card Bugs / Taxman gains before opponent discards
15 December 2016, 08:45:38 PM
Card text specifies this order:
Trash - Discard - Gain

The actual order in the game was:
D plays a Taxman.
D trashes a Silver.
D gains a Gold.
L discards a Silver.

AI bugs / Apothecary and trasher ends in endless loop
15 December 2016, 08:44:09 PM
Played a game with Apothecary and Dame Anna (the trashing one).

Lord Rattington would trash all his Coppers, play 8 Apothecaries and buy nothing.
Also the plural for Apothecary in the game is Apothecarys.

General Discussion / Issue Tracker
13 December 2016, 09:33:59 PM
Rather than do issue tracking (bugs, features, etc) through a forum which is a bit of a pain, it could be more useful if there was an actual issue tracker where we can easily find reported issues (to make sure we're not creating duplicates) and report them.

There are some free options and some paid ones.

I find calling Royal Carriage (potentially other Tavern cards) a bit awkward.

After playing another card, a message pops up "you may royal carriage" underneath the action and coin tally.
But when I click it, it goes away.

I have to click on "call Royal Carriage" in the log to actually call it.

Also, I don't see a sort of "duration / tavern" area where I can see the cards that I can put into play later, but are not yet in play.

Interface Issues / Focus the chat while ending the game
13 December 2016, 03:53:14 PM
As I'm typing a message in the chat, my opponent ends the game and my focus is lost.

Can it be made that if you're typing in the chat, nothing else can steal focus?
It's annoying if you're typing and the focus is lost.
