yes, this is a serious problem. "Good match" is only reliable at certain times of day, and "quick match" often forces you into a base-heavy game
(not just base-heavy, but usually the same 7 base cards: chapel, village, workshop, gardens, smithy, festival, witch, show up in addition to a few rotating cards and sometimes events/landmarks.)

Seriously? I didn't know that.

yup! it's only.a tie in 2-player Dominion if the second player ends the game with the same score.

Here's a heuristic to analyze situations like this.

The reason King's Court is much better than Throne Room (not just 150% as good, like it might seem at first) is that King's Court creates actions from nowhere, i.e. has the effect of playing more actions than you physically should be capable of playing. What does this mean? Throne Rooming a Witch requires two cards and has the effect of playing a good action card twice; this is awesome because ordinarily it takes a Village to play two Witches, but it's not brokenly awesome. King's Courting a Witch is brokenly awesome because it gives you a "card-from-nowhere:" the physical cards King's Court and Witch are somehow worth three Witches.

No matter how many Throne Rooms you play, you always break even; there's never a card from nowhere: Throne Room Throne Room Witch Witch is an awesome play, but it's fundamentally a 4 card play.

On the other hand, King's Courting a King's Court is insanity. It creates a King's Court from nowhere, which can then create more cards from nowhere. KC KC Witch Witch Witch creates a total of 4 cards from nowhere!

If you King's Court a Throne Room, you create 1 "card from nowhere." A total of 6 actions are played, for the cost of 5 cards.
If you Throne Room a King's Court, you create 2 "cards from nowhere." A total of 6 actions are played, for the cost of 4 cards.

So you should prefer to Throne Room a King's Court.

I don't think this is fixed; at least, I just ran into it with the mandatory text.

Interface Issues / Re: right-click on Mac
05 February 2017, 08:53:01 PM
in case anyone is bumping into this thread later, I turned off some other trackpad settings on my mac that I wasn't using (can't remember exactly which, but principally zoom), and then two-finger click started working.

Card Bugs / Throne Room + Engineer
30 January 2017, 11:12:06 PM
Following Mining Village, I shouldn't be able to trash the engineer for a gain twice, right? That appears to be what happens.

you can always count on me to point out the big problems

I have had a few instances where an opponent says "gg" and leaves the table, apparently to resign. This is frustrating since I have to wait.5 minutes to make them resign (or resign myself, which I suppose I should do since there is no rating system). I assume the opponent just doesn't realize this since they are perfectly friendly. It would be nice to prompt  "resign?" on closing browser window/tab.

I assume this is because I don't own any Settlers, but it should still give me the right to look.

Card Bugs / wrong buy total shown with fortune
19 January 2017, 02:05:45 AM
In this game, while in debt, I played copper + 3 fools golds + fortune. the game correctly displayed my total at 20. Then when I repayed the debt (can't remember how much), my total increased to 22! However, the game seemed to internally remember the correct total.Unfortunately I don't have a screenshot, but it's game 473116 on Tokyo

Support / reconnecting at every end game
19 January 2017, 01:50:26 AM
for some reason, every time a game finishes, instead of going to the end-game summary screen, i'm just getting kicked off the server, and have to log back in (where I can't see the results of the game). This is on Safari on a brand new mac.

playing on a mac with safari , control + click isn't giving me the card texts. is there a different command?

Hey!  I use two-finger click on Mac, it works fine.

hmm, having no luck with that either -- , does control click work for you, or only two-finger click?

Support / Re: getting 80% base set cards

    Excuse me ehunt; it may not be my place to say, but as far as I can tell this conversation has gone as follows:

    • You have a desire for certain functionality as a user (being matched and having all your cards available). The option you are selecting does not have this behaviour.
    • You have been informed why this is happening (quick match finds users as quickly as possible, respecting their familiar cards) and presented a solution (good match, which finds people with your sets).
    • You are complaining that other people's wishes re: cards should be ignored so that you can continue to use a particular option, which would render the entire feature of familiar cards pointless and be detrimental to the play experience of others, despite functionality that matches your wishes already existing.

    I would not normally be so forward, but this doesn't seem very reasonable.
I came back to this thread because I'm stuck in yet another base slog.

Functionality that matches my wishes does not currently exist, since "good match" only results in a game about 50% of the time. If it did exist, I wouldn't be asking.

Anyway, the implementation is already better than the previous one, and I apologize for my rather blunt tone.[/list]
