Noooooooo! I was interrupted during my turn, and when I went back I thought, yeah I'm done with moving. Wrong idiot! I meant to move the lion I just summoned...now instead of killing my opponent's units he'll just kill mine. What a waste, and I feed his magic pile. Sigh. My own fault. I just needed to vent
I'm new to this game too but I never found the ai challenging whatsoever. My first game was close but after that the ai's never put up any real challenge. Maybe you guys need to do just a little outside reading to really get the strategy in the game. Keep at it and you'll get the hang of it! Edit: try the plaid hat summoner wars forum.
If you actually saw ten 3's in a row I would be convinced something is wrong. But I'm not going to believe that it happened just because you say so.
I'm still getting the hang of VG, I'm really wondering whether Stalwart Archers are worth anything. Getting more than 2 on the board costs so much, and VG seems to be based around champion play. If I want Summoning Surge to be available and still have the Archers on the board I'll need for my Guardian Knights to be gone, which is dangerous. I'm thinking of leaving just maybe 2 or 3 Archers in my deck. Also, TA just posted about an upcoming game's announced release date. Summoner Wars never got a post about anything, despite all the commotion in the forums. And they usually talk about something if get lots of attention in the forums. Eli must REALLY not like this game
I don't like angels, riders, or anything else and the archers range 2/2 with a second one is a good deal. I keep 6 in my deck to draw them anytime I need them. Don't go overboard though. The only common I summon except the occasional spear grounder.
Which is a darn shame. Summoner Wars is inarguably the best, most strategic asynchronous game on the App store. I'm genuinely surprised that there has been no mention of it on the front page. Given the tripe that gets highlighted on TA and remembering the Ascension review debacle, I guess I shouldn't be so surprised.
TA is not an enthusiast site at all. It's an iOS gaming news site that has hugely broad appeal and that's part of the problem. Also, might I just say that this game is ridiculously addictive? Like crazy addictive I can spend a good hour on it without even noticing. I doubt any app is going to replace this as my GotY.
And games like Summoner Wars do a lot to strengthen the diverse, high quality library of the iOS. I guess if it were an endless runner or a time management game, things would be different.
Also, Gabriel.Voyager, Exact-Psience and FPE, if you are looking for a total newbie to play against, please feel free to add me. And to all my Ascension and Nightfall friends, please feel free to keep crushing me. I'm learning from the experience. (I hope!)
Another vote for the SW! I am a total noob too. I just punch that Everything Bundle (#1?!) button and I am supposed to be up for an online game. But I think since I have zero knowledge about the game, I think I am exploring the AI with the deck builder before bring myself forward to be beaten by you guys.... This is definitely more complex than Ascension and NightFall. BTW, in regard with what tecwrtr says, it is very apparent that I am very much towards to bottom of the food chain (if one such exists).
I think archers are their strengths too. And the GKs do a pretty good job of making sure the are in multiples. Priests compliment them by staying at the back and doing what he does best.
Total newbie here as well. I notice that some SW sharks have sent me game invites. I do plan on accepting those invites, although it will be at the expense of my spotless online record. Okay, my record is 0-0, but still......... Gabriel and ExactPsience, please send me GC friend request and we can take turns making huge mistakes playing this game.
For me this is actually easier to understand than Ascension or Nightfall. It feels more to me like a Table-top Strategy than a card game. By that, i mean it also feels like a Turn-Based Strategy game on the consoles similar to Final Fantasy Tactics. As with Card/Board games, Im well versed with Pokemon, Magic, WoW, and DnD which made the transition to Deck-Building Strategy games like Ascension a bit tricky to learn. Summoner Wars however, I understood the game the first time i saw it.
