We're preparing for previews of the new expansion - Dominion: Allies - starting on February 28th.
In the meanwhile, a lot has changed today that isn't strictly related to Allies. It's too much to name it all, but here are the main takeaways:

1. Functional card and rules changes, for Coffers, replaying cards, Donate, Mountain Pass, Patron, Merchant Guild
2. Card Pool Levels. This is a new feature to help newer players ease into the fast universe of Dominion cards. It replaces Familiar Cards.
3. a UI overhaul. Many things will look nicer; take an extra look at animation settings and undo
4. Fixed card bugs
5. new autoplays for Encampment, Duplicate

Many, many thanks to ceviri for coding most of the new UI
And thanks to the people who playtested this version over the last two weeks and provided feedback.

[Automatch]

With so many people sitting at home, we wanted to do something nice. Playing with the base set is always free, and for the following days we'll add one additional expansion on a rotating schedule. The rotation happens at 0:00 UTC. You can check the Account tab to see what expansion is available right now and for how long.

The schedule for the free expansion is:

March 21	Intrigue
March 22	Seaside
March 23	Prosperity
March 24	Alchemy, Cornucopia & Guilds
March 25	Hinterlands
March 26	Dark Ages
March 27	Adventures
March 28	Empires
March 29	Nocturne
March 30	Renaissance
March 31	Menagerie
April 1	Intrigue
April 2	Seaside
April 3	Prosperity
April 4	Alchemy, Cornucopia & Guilds
April 5	Hinterlands
April 6	Dark Ages
April 7	Adventures

April 9	Nocturne
April 10	Renaissance
April 11	Menagerie
April 12	Intrigue
April 13	Seaside
April 14	Prosperity

April 16	Hinterlands
April 17	Dark Ages
April 18	Adventures

April 21	Renaissance
April 22	Menagerie

Note that these days are starting and ending at 0:00 UTC.

Automatch

If you don't like the complexity of another expansion, you can still use the automatch search option "Only base games". "Prefer expansions" implies you would be fine with everything, "Wait for expansions" still waits for someone with at least the Silver subscription.

Gold & Silver subscriptions will be supported for as long as they last, but they are no longer sold.
When the new system released today, everyone with a Silver Subcription also got a Core Subscription, and everyone with a Gold subscription also got a Complete subscription.

When you try to load https://dominion.games in chrome, it now results in the following warning:


Your connection is not private
Attackers might be trying to steal your information from dominion.games (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards). Learn more
NET::ERR_CERT_DATE_INVALID


I'm sorry, I'll try to get this fixed asap.
It is a different, although very similar, problem to the one I had 5 days ago.
(That was the ssl certificate on the servers running out, this is the ssl certificate on the website)

Every player gets to make three small lists that will influence the kingdoms you play.

You can make a banned list, a liked list and a disliked list. Cards on these lists will increase or decrease the likelihood a card will appear in your kingdom. Banned cards will be gone completely (0%), while liked cards have 200% chance and disliked cards 50%. If several players have the same cards on their lists, these percentages will be multiplied with each other. On every list you can put a maximum of 5 cards and 3 landscapes (Events, Landmarks and/or Projects). You don't need a subscription to these cards to put them on your lists.

If you play a regular automatched game, the banned list and the disliked list will be respected, but the liked list ignored. If you play a practice game or a game with a bot, all lists will be respected. If you create your own table, you can manually select which lists you want to be respected. An automatched game that doesn't use expansions will ignore all lists. The rationale here is that we want to increase the fun for players as much as possible, while still not allowing/forcing them to game the system too much.

When this feature was released, we removed the global ban on Possession but put it on everyone's personal list. New accounts will start with empty lists.

We'll release renaissance online on Monday, 15:00 UTC.

The rule-book will also go up on Monday.
It no longer depends on the physical release, although that is still expected to be Monday as well.

...This will be sufficient in >99% of the games...

In theory there are 3 exceptions:
- If you are possessing your opponent, you probably want to waste their villagers.
- If you are scared of being possessed, you may want to waste your own villagers.
- If you intend to play Diadem and you prefer coins to Villagers, you may want to use them.

Two things you can do:
- If you're in your action phase and nothing else is currently happening (= you're not in the middle of playing some card) you can click the villager icon in the status bar to use a villager.
- If you manage to play diadem in your action phase (Black Market or Storyteller) it will simply ask you how many Villagers you want to spend before getting the coins from Diadem.

Unfortunately this still don't cover all these edge-cases. Most notably, maybe you have Diadem in hand but no actions whatsoever, and the game will automatically skip your Action phase. We'll figure something out before Renaissance goes live for real to fix that.

Thanks to everyone who posted in the feedback thread already. I have read it all (up to half an hour ago) and will continue to read it all, but it is way too much to reply to everyone individually. Regardless, I think it is a very valuable tool in determining the priorities over the coming months and maybe even longer.

I tried to give everyone who posted the extended subscription. Below is the output of my script.
There are three kind of mistakes you could help me correct:

• 
  If I forgot to include your name please notify me (just reply here) and I'll still add you.
  
• If it says "name not recognized" either I made a typo or you forgot to mention your in-game-name is different from your forum-name. Please let me know your in-game-name.
  
• 
  The list below should contain the expansions you once "bought" and the updated end of your subscription to those expansions. It should be 183 days from now, or if you already had a subscription 183 days from whenever that would end. If there are any mistakes please let me know and I'll investigate.

(link to Japanese)
(here is a list of extended subscriptions, which I will update every couple of days)

One day people bought Dominion from MF thinking they'd have it forever.
This turned out not to be true, and although I didn't think this was my fault in any way, unhappy Dominion players still made me feel bad.

Our idea was to compensate these users by giving them a choice between a year of online or the promised offline version. However, we failed to deliver an offline version until now, so this idea didn't fully work out.

I still really want an offline version, and when we get there the old MF owners will still get it for free. But this product does not make sense if we don't add campaigns first, and they don't make sense if we don't add a proper AI first. All in all it is much more work then I originally had hoped, and I now expect this to arrive in the fall of 2018.

------

I've come to the following decision: If you are one of the people for whom "free 2017" just ended, I am willing to extend it with another half a year in exchange for one hour of your time. The short version is "provide feedback and don't forget to include your username". Longer version below. The offer stands for anyone replying in this thread in the next 10 days and is only about expansions you once bought from MF. If you already bought a subscription for (a part of) 2018, I will extend it with half a year for the appropriate expansions.

------

Here are some guidelines on the kind of feedback I'm looking for:
1. Try to keep it short & concise
2. Try to describe your own personal wishes, not what you think is best for others.
3. Please make actual points in these posts (instead of refering to earlier posts making points)

Here are some features we have on our wishlist; please let me know if you would appreciate/use them:
1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
3. A strong bot.
4. Options for timed games
5. Options for undo settings
6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
7. Option to invite specific players to your table
8. More translations (to what language?)
9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
10. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
10. Option to hide the log
11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
13. Downloadable game logs
14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
16. Tutorial on how to play dominion online.

[Clean-up autoplays]

Autoplays is a feature that can make decisions for you. Some questions the gameserver asks you are a bit boring, and you (almost?) always want to answer them in the same way anyway.

At the moment we implemented 24 autoplay options that you can change under the "options" tab. What you select there is saved in the database and used as your starting settings for every game you play. You can also change the settings during a game, by right-clicking a card. Changes you make during a game are for that game only.

By default almost all autoplays settings are off, because the default settings have to consider beginners. Having a Moat magically reveal itself would be bad if you don't fully understand Moat yet. However, I expect the players that do know all the cards will want to turn most of them on (go to "options" and click "convenient settings").

There is more extensive documentation available about the individual autoplay cards & their options (english german japanese russian)

Clean-up autoplays
Some autoplays are grouped under Clean-up autoplays, and instead of making a decision for you directly they allow you to specify a default. If all cards you have in play have a default selected, the entire "plan your cleanup" question is skipped. For example, if you play Page and have its autoplay setting at "Default is Exchange", the game will automatically exchange it for a Treasure Hunter for you during Cleanup.

Tips on using autoplay
For most settings, you just want to use the "convenient settings" and never look back.
However, sometimes you want to change them at the start of a game or during a game. Here are some examples:
Urchin starts off, and I keep it that way until I have however many Mercenaries I want to have. Then change it to "Never trash"
Moat stops attacks, but in some kingdoms you (sometimes) want to be attacked. In those games I just turn it off and make all the decisions manually.
Disciple and Warrior start "off", but I usually change them to "default keep" when I think I have enough Teachers and/or Champions.
I'll stop here but for all autoplays you can come up with some edge case where you want to turn it off.

Not changing questions
The autoplayer is very cautious about the questions it answers. For example the autoplay for "Coin of the Realm" only tries to answer the literal question "Do you want to call Coin of the Realm". Sometimes the game will ask a more complicated question like "You may play an action from your hand, or call coin of the realm". In those cases the autoplayer will simply do nothing - it can't answer the question, and it also won't strip the part about coin of the realm out.

Shared setting
Royal Seal, Tracker and Travelling Fair use one combined setting. The menu under "options" lists this shared setting as "Royal Seal"

[needlessly]

Today 1.3.2 was released, and it completely rewrites the code that positions the kingdom on the screen.
Now I'm looking for feedback:

a) bugs: garbled up kingdoms
  If you find any kingdom & screen size that looks really awkward please post a screenshot.
  I think we caught them all during testing but who knows.

b) bugs: unused space
  If you find a kingdom & screen size that needlessly makes the kingdom smaller then necessary, please again post a screenshot

c) fine-tuning: pile sizes
  Quite possibly piles are too small now on your screen now. Making them larger will have some cost (probably the in-play zone will shrink) but that still may be what you want.


If you know your way around the javascript console, you may try playing with these variables:

Code Select Expand


var DESIRED_SCALE = 0.03;
var DESIRED_VERTICAL_USE = 0.30;
var MAX_VERTICAL_USE = 0.5;
var EVALUATION_SCALE_POWER = 5;
var EVALUATION_VERTICAL_POWER = -1;
var EVALUATION_HORIZONTAL_POWER = -.8;

(especially setting DESIRED_VERTICAL_USE a little higher)

The week of the previews is over, but during this weekend you'll still be able to play with the new cards.
Kingdoms will have 4 Nocturne cards selected at random from the entire week, while having 6 regular cards.
On Monday Nocturne will be removed, in order to return in full on the same day the physical expansion becomes available. Current estimates are around the 16th of November but they're not fixed yet.

Hope you all enjoyed it!

I removed this thread, as it became counter-productive.

I removed the thread, as it became counter-productive.

1.2.6 introduced 3P automatching. However I didn't really have an idea what to do with the default rating requirements. My guess is the 3P ratings haven't really settled, because there weren't that many 3P games getting played, mostly because there wasn't any 3P matching before today.

So for now I just copied the restrictions from 2P (which means searching from -10 to +10), but quite possibly that makes it too hard to find a match and I need to double that range next week.

After a lot of useful feedback last month and getting some of the most desired features implemented I'd like to revive this idea.

• Please state your personal opinion on top 3 of things you'd like to see changed
• Please don't discuss the opinion of others in this thread. If they ask for something you don't think is important at all, well, they're still entitled to that opinion. If you think a suggestion is interesting and warrants a discussion, feel free to start a new thread about it.

Regardless of what people post, the next thing to work on will be a bit of a sad one. Personal blacklists, reporting users, banning users... we just need to invest some time in that because there are a few players out there who are spoiling a lot of fun for others, and those negative experiences can carry a lot of weight.

[Every player is assigned a level, which we try to keep between 0 and 100]

Since release 1.2 players have a rating, based on glicko-2.

Every player is assigned a level, which we try to keep between 0 and 100.
- New players start at 20.
- You can go up by winning games.
- The only thing that matters is win/tie/lose (point margin is irrelevant; resigning is the same as losing).
- You can also go up if the system gets to know you better (e.g. after winning a game and losing one).
- You will go up more if you beat a higher ranked opponent.

There are two rating systems. One for 2-player games, one for 3-4 player games. This is because we intend to add an automatch queue for 3-4 player games in the near future. These rating systems are completely independent of each other. If you win a 3 player game, it counts as a win against both opponents. If you end up 2nd in a 3 player game, it counts as a loss against the winner and a win against the loser.

The leaderboard will update on a daily basis at 0:00 UTC. Players who haven't played any games that day will see their level go down a tiny bit. You will not be visible on the leaderboard if you haven't played any rated games. The leaderboard displays you, your friends and the top 20 players.

If you don't use automatch but create a table of your own, you can select whether or not this game will be rated. Games with bots, games with 5+ players and games respecting familiar cards will always be unrated though.

While it's possible to beat up dummy accounts in order to game the leaderboard, this is not a good idea if you're interested in the longevity of your account.

Since version 1.1.0 it's possible to load an old game. This feature is very much still under development, but this initial version is too convenient for finding/fixing other bugs not to release it.

The idea is that you can now specify an old game number and a decision number on a table. After doing so you can select a player order, which will determine who (on the new table) becomes whom (in the old game you're reloading).

The feature isn't very user friendly yet. You could wonder how on earth you're supposed to know your old game numbers, and how are you supposed to guess the decision number you're interested in. Those would be very legitimate concerns, and will be addressed in later releases. At some point you will be able to specify these 'reload-instructions' from an URL, and you will be able to generate that URL by some special click in a game log.

There is still a fundamental problem with this feature I haven't really been able to solve yet. It allows you to reload a game that was generated by the current server version just fine, but if you want to reload a game from an older version all bets are off. It may very well work, but could also be broken. Hypothetically speaking - Suppose that old server version contained some card bug (Smithy was drawing only 2 cards) that has been fixed on the new version. Reloading that game on the new server will fail very shortly after the first Smithy play.


For now, I hope this will help us solve card bugs more easily (so please do include a game number on all bug reports) and it's great fun for puzzling too.

Here is a very nice one to start from a game Marin and I were playing yesterday: game 1105805, decision 207. Add a bot, make sure you're taking over Marins perspective. The goal is to win this turn, because it's very unlikely you'll get another turn.
