Lurker says "in the supply" that inlcude technically only the top card of each pile at the moment you play them.

From the wiki on "supply"

Ordinarily each pile in the Supply consists of several copies of the same card. The four exceptions to this are Ruins, KnightsKnights.jpg, CastlesCastles.jpg, and Split pile cards, which are each Supply piles containing more than one differently named cards; in these cases, only the top card of the pile is visible to players and available to be bought or gained. For this reason, although the entirety of any Supply pile is physically part of the Supply, only the top card of any pile is considered to be "in the Supply". For instance, when Band of MisfitsBand of Misfits.jpg requires you to choose a "card in the Supply", you may not choose a card in the Ruins or Knights pile other than the one on top.

I don't see the reason why these new list are the basis for the general matching. Why can't they be part of setting up the tables? Those who want to play with limited cards can do this comfortably now at a table.

If I want to play these cards I have to set up a table but I have no control or even information who joins my table concerning level. I still miss that feature from Groko where you could set up rules for joining your table. So either I play with a player and a list of banned cards or with a player who does not match my level. Where's the chance to play all cards with a player of my level as I had before?

so everyone should set up tables so that you can use automatch again. why dont you just make the table yourself and let the majority enjoy not playing with their hate cards.

let me remind you that the goko "feature" you are talking about was just nameing the table 5000+ or something and people could join no matter what. it was your own duty to kick them if they were underleveled. eventually someone made a plugin where the opponent gets auto kicked when to low ranked.

It seems the person im thinking of is using tables anyway and forcing 4 Events/Landmarks into the kingdom.
At least dooing that change wont allow to scout the search queue anymore.

Hi,

I think that it would be better for the game to make it so you cant specificly search automatch games outside fo your own level range. I´d suggest that both the parameters Min Rating and Max rating can not go into the negatives. The only reason i can see for people doing this are wanting to beat up on weak and new players and gaming the leaderboard by never playing people in their skill range. There shouldnt be a valid reason not wanting to play equally skilled opponents.

I hope you consider this simple change.
greetings, RTT.

[1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots /]

Hi Stef,

I really enjoy Dominion Online lately and I think it has improved a lot already in the last year. New features I would like the most are:
- Android App or improved playability on mobile.
- The X card banlist (but i think thats in the works already)
- having a featured game to spectate (e.g. two high rank players, a game played in tournament mode)
- I dont know if im alone with that but the blue color on the automatch screen (15 searching) on the dark background is hurting my eyes and really hard to see.


OK so here are my personal thoughts on your list first:


1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots /
   
I dont really need an offline client because when im on a PC im online anyway most of the time. More usefull
would be a App for phones for me personaly. And yeah as you say offline play only is fun with a at least decent
AI. Campaigns or andy PVE content really is a nice way to get new players into the game i feel. My wife would probably love that.

2. A bot with a setting for different play styles

If thet means i can set the bot to only play Big Money or only Engines i dont think this is really needed. Though different difficulty settings are nice.

3. A strong bot.

The Bot doesnt have to be really strong as I can just play humans instead but it should be decent and not completly fail on certain cards (counterfeit, bandit fort, ...)

4. Options for timed games

Would be very nice to have possibly with its own ladder or for mini tournaments. Not really needed though.

5. Options for undo settings

I dont need those but i guess it would be nice to filter out no info undo deniers

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.

That would be a fun addition. swiss style would be cool because from Single elimination some players only get one game. I imagine when your game is dont and the other players arent you are able to spectate those games. For Player count I think it will mostly be used from 4-8 Players but if its not too much effort it could be expanded to more even.

7. Option to invite specific players to your table

Yes I would use that for tournament matches or games with my wife. More important is a tournament mode (no spec chat, alternating starting players, tracking the score)

8. More translations (to what language?)

Not needed for me
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...

This is especially interesting for playing with casual friends but the game already runs slow on my wifes netbook and im afraid more animations are even making the performance worse.

I honestly think sound effects other then the bing would be cool.

10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...

    Yes that is needed in my opinion.

10. Option to hide the log

    I will never hide the log.

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)

    Yes i would defenitly use my Phone if its decent to play on.

12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)

    I dont have an Iphone, so no

13. Downloadable game logs

    Very important! if that means the comunity can finally extract stats like councilroom again.

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)

For me its fine as it is but i think the lower ranks could benefit from that.

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion

Yes that is a must in my opinion. Pretty hard to show the game to friends without beeing in direct contact and explaining it at the moment.

16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.

I dont really get the difference to 15. but If the usability of the Site is good (no log clicking, etc..) then that is not really needed.

No worries the message came through. I think you need to click the checkbox 'save copy in my outbox' to have it in sent Items.

I think the idea of an private abreviation is that only you see it and your opponent sees the default. Then there cant be any trolling.

When only one card is in my draw pile and the discard is empty i am playing a Navigator and i dont get to choose to discard the card it automaticly topdecks it.

In this exact case i topdecked a Bordevillage with a Courtyard then played a Navigator. It was reproducable.
