I've got some pretty screenshots! I've played this guy about 8 times now, and the score is currently 5-3 to him, but this was clearly a really bad play for him. The danger of overbanishing! How about this for high scoring? This game was insane.
Thank God we went back to discussing the game in the end. I'm done arguing. Period. I really should control what I say. Anyways, I'd like to play with some of you guys sometime later, but for now, add my GC in my sig if you want to play against me. I'll come back to this thread when I'm ready.
This was my best game, at least in the iOS version. I knew my opponent was going for the Submarine Gambit (lots of hidden Honor points), but I didn't know he'd finish with 64! If I hadn't defeated a monster from the center row on my final play, I would have lost. Good times ... Check out these numbers:
Had my best night last night, won 4 games tied two and lost none. Was soo much fun. I played 8 games total and had 2 people forfeit before the end of the game. Good thing about the asynchrous play is you can have so many games going on at once, it don't really bother me if someone forfeits. The only downside is trying to remember what you were doing in each game.
In addition to the wealth of info put forward thus far, I'd also suggest being careful with the game speed, particularly when playing versus AI. While a game with Animation and Game Speed both set to fast is a thing of fluid beauty to behold, it can easily tempt you into simply rushing through a match without really evaluating the opponent's moves and position, which in turn can lead to making poor decisions and ultimately promote the idea that luck is the primary factor in who wins and who loses. While there is still a random element involved, winning a game will usually be made harder by ignoring your opponent and simply trying to get the highest personal score you can - unless you're playing somebody who doesn't know what they're doing.
Back on track, now we have a discussion. Apart from most players, the AI loves this card to. Remember, even if the central line has no monster, this card gives you automatically 1 honour point when played, which makes it no less delicious than the cards giving out honour. There is another four-three card too, iirc, it only gives out power points. Note to a number of guys here: I understand some of your guys have been playing rounds almost around the clock, but I am still waiting for you to complete yours.
Just got off a game and win 88 to 81. I got 30 points honour lead, on the other hand he got 21 more cards . It was close.
currymutton you're griffin right? Good game man. I made a mistake on the second turn. Should have chosen Reactor Monk instead of Twofold Askara. You played well though. That Avatar Golem is underrated.
Guys whenninviting me remember I am gmt+1 and work ... I do my best to play always even when driving ... But that is nit always easy. And gosh today my son killed me and I just woke up dead :-(
Yup, that was me. It was close also. When the Golem combined with Twofold Askara it is a gainer. Too bad you cannot use the Twofold on any construct.... Another proof that a choice made early on can make things very differently in this game. And you note that in the late game, nobody touched the central row when we both had 5+ powers per round.
It is okay, take your time. You know, my daughter refused to sleep on Tuesday morning left me insomnia... Kids...
@Cramzy, you really scared the pants off me at turn 11 and 12. Great play! You lost too much ground early on, and it was a close shave for me. Thanks for the game and will definitely check with you later as I think I really need some rest for the day. P.S. I think what this game needs, apart from better multi-tasking, is the ability to replay the last few games automatically. It helps to reflect and learn.
