General Discussion / Why I am quitting dominion
11 March 2018, 09:29:38 AM
After years of playing dominion, today I decided to quit.

This is because this game has two major bugs.

BUG 1: If a player starts the game, they've a big advantage. Too many times I lost a game because the opponent could play a turn more than me. When two players' skill are very balanced this is crucial.

BUG 2: More than many games, the more I play the more I think that, when two player's skill are balanced, the game doesn't rely on the player's ideas, the tactical move or the smart card buy. I think, and I've plaied thousand of games, that's entirely luck.

I decided to quit today after I carefully planned to win a game, my opponent had only ONE card that could prevent me from winning, we had dozens of cards in our decks, opponent had only 4 cards in his hand, but guess what, he had the only very card that prevented me from winning. And of course he only had ONE copy of that card in his deck.

That's too much for me to bear.
Some kind of randomness is nice to a game, but when it's too much it's too much.

And, yes, I may just look like the typical sore loser, but I am not.
I lost many, many, many times just because of this and it's getting frustrating.
The first time you say "Oh..."
The 2000th time you say "Oh, no, not again..."

Fool me once, shame on you, fool me thousand times, shame on me.
Goodbye everybody.

My fault surely, because I was hasty, but Governor does NOT remodel and I lost a game because I read it.

Remodel says that you can remodel to UP +2, not EXACTLY +2, so I called Governor, chose REMODEL, and trashed a Province to no avail.

The text "REMODEL" is misleading and should be changed as soon as possible.

Feature Requests / Math winning
26 February 2018, 02:58:13 PM
It happens often to me that a game is over by math, either I won or lost it doesn't matter, still the opponent keeps on playing.

If I lost, that's ok, I resign and that is all.
But I won, it's annoying. I would like to jump to another game.

May you implement a funciont that calculates if you have mathematically won the game (not possible in games with cards that give +1VP like Momnumet or with cards that may trash your VP)? When it comes to a plain game, that could be an interesting option.

General Discussion / User that insults your strategy
19 February 2018, 08:05:45 AM
It's frustrating when an user calls your strategy "shitty".

It happened in game #11811080 on oregon.
User was "[redacted]".

Thanks for reading.
