Auotplay option for Hero - Exchange once

[blamelewis]

Hi, I can't see when having more than one Champion might be useful (though as there always seem to be exceptions to everything in Dominion I'd love to hear if anyone knows of such a time...)

But given that for the most part one champion is enough, how about an option on the autoplay for Hero saying "exchange once" - so after you've exchanged one for a champion it reverts to default keep?

Thanks

I could do that but I almost always stop them at the Warrior level after the first one gets promoted.
So the only Hero I have, I just want that to become a Champion.
Guess I like drawing cards a lot.

You can set the Hero autoplay option to not exchange after you exchanged your first one. This will only be saved for the game. The more usual case is to already keep Warriors after the first one. Therefore, the "convenient" settings are off for Warrior. But you can also configure it as you prefer.

Thanks for replies. I have Bonnie Tyler singing "I need a hero" stuck in my head now. I have only myself to blame...

You're way ahead and you want to rub it in by playing a Diadem worth something in the triple digits.

This was the lame edge-case I was getting ready to post. Normally Champion is just "unlimited actions", but with Diadem, it actually matters exactly how many actions you have. And Champion's effects do stack here.

Another example would be that you want a second Hero for some time to gain treasures but then upgrade it to Champion to get it out of your deck.

Also if you play 2 Hero's in the same shuffle, you might want to upgrade both.

ok ... how much can a diadem actually be worth?
I'll do the obvious thing first:
Kingdom is Page / Tournament / Port / 7x Village Variant
I have 5 Champions out and play 9 Pages, 9 Tournaments, 5 Treasure Hunters, 12 Ports, 64 Village-Variants and of course the Trusty Steed. Thats 677$ for the diadem.

Anyone bidding more than 677? Maybe with a fancy Black Market Combo?

When I did this exercise in I think January I pulled 1500 something. King your Champions.

Wolf Den is also a pretty common reason for a second Champion.

Good points all, thanks...

Can't you do a Bonfire/Lurker trick to play as many Champions as you want and get Diadem arbitrarily high?
