Thanks for replying. I guess I wanted to know:- if I'm only getting two 99c purchases for now, is there a pack to enhace the included faction deck or can I get a 'complete' new faction for the price? And by your reply I'm guessing that there's no single ultimate faction, they're all equal in their own way and you just have to find one that suits your personal play-style. I need to research and stop being a lazy ass hoping for a quick answer to a complicated question #
I am going to, but I was caught up with all the sales this week, so I think I am buying the bundle next week. There are still a lot of explorations for me to do anyway.
Having never played the game before the amount of content can be a little dizzying, in addition to understanding strategies but I'm sure we'll all get the hang of it quickly (me included )
Spot on. Each faction is a dollar and each reinforcement pack is a dollar a well. You could get the pact for the elves but it's only a few commons and champions. You'd be better served by learning the Pheonix Elves' base deck before you put in specialty units like the Fencer (who I love dearly) Grabbing Guild Dwarves and maybe the Cloak or Fallen Kingdom would give you great versatility though. Especially when we get tourneys going you'll have solid decks to choose from
You're a champion, thanks so much for your thoughts and information. And thanks to everyone for creating such an active forum full of information and answers to FAQ's. There's no other place to go IMO that compares with TA forums.
ah I don't frequent those forums so that makes sense. The same goes for Ascension I suppose. For the number of players I'd expect to see more games listed. Maybe the new multiplayer set up Playdek is going to put in place will give some people a bit more of a carrot to chase into the multiplayer lobby!
I have been trying to master the Jungle Elves. Having a very good time with this game so far. If anyone wants to play my gc name is ssfink.
I prefer playing with TA regulars than randoms. all my games on ascension are from regulars here (with o e exception on random online opponent). people will slowly put up their GC so you can add them many already have it in their sigs wish I had as many opponents for carcassone
I've barely had any playtime with the game but I have to say my faith has been repaid tenfold. The interface is incredibly functional and I've never once felt lost. The amount of variety in the factions is amazing and the reinforcements change things up significantly. Add to this the limitations of deck building and you find yourself creating a lot more decks than you would expect, trying each combination out for efficiency and pure fun. I spent $6 more on this than Magic and I already feel like I got my money's worth.
VeganTnT Champion of the Playdek Disciples Attack:3(ranged), Life:6, Cost:7 Divine Aid: Once per turn VeganTnT can imbibe a present friendly unit's ability onto an adjacent friendly unit. Yay! This should bring more people online
*cough cough* For the record I play: Carcassonne, Ascension, Summoner Wars, Scotland Yard, Magic the Gathering, Ticket to Ride, Reiner Knizia's Samurai, and Tigris & Euphrates I take a while between turns because of work/life but if you aren't looking for a fast live game I'm always playing. I have more but either there is no one to play against or in the case of Nightfall I don't like playing multiple games without a history log
*cough cough* NS Hex as well *cough cough* Warning: total off-topic My problem with NS Hex is with multiple games, I don't know which one of them is my turn... Got TtRP? I am ready. BTW, still cannot master RK's Samurai and T&E...
this is weird. my timer expired for a game. (Next time I need to check the timer before accepting) but now everytime I try to create a game, it crashes. I can go to game list and look at profiles and stuff.
In our game my icon is highlighted but it's your turn. TtRP? Ticket to Ride iPhone? Is so, thn I have that too It's so hard to keep track of these board games that have separate versions for iPhone and iPad. That's why I love that Playdek always takes the extra development time to go universal, it shows they care about the community <- and we're back on topic!
Tried killing the app and restarting? It crashed once for me while loading a game, but worked after I killed the app.
I just downloaded the bundle. I'm going to dive into the tutorial tonight and should be ready to play online by the weekend. I can't wait to get some games going with our regular Ascension group. I have also been having a lot of fun learning Le Havre. I'm totally new to the game, but really enjoying it. If anyone is playing that one, feel free to send me a GC invite.
Looking forward to games with you over the weekend. And a thumbs up for Le Havre Can we start swarming Playdek's FB page for Agricola now?
