I still don't see why you can't allow the player to choose the sequence of moves even if card draw is involved. In the example of Nuclear Zone on the South Pole on Hellas, you would first need to determine whether playing Nuclear Zone is a legal move or not. That is already correctly implemented. On...

My comment was not meant as criticism of Victoria and the dev team. I think you're doing a great job of listening to user requests and creating a mostly bug-free experience. I understand from the bug report that this is an issue that won't be fixed since it's complicated by legacy reasons and how BG...

Drawing cards cannot be undone that's why drawing must be the last thing you do on your turn. For Convoy of Europa this might not matter but for other cards it does as they could fail and would break the game. And since the devs cannot be expected to run exceptions for specific cards, the code does...

The statistic provided by Corvus is quite telling. Earth Cat is the strongest card on average when present in the opening hand, but a naked EC can usually be overcome with superior skill. I would generally be more afraid to face AI Central, the card that can single-handedly produce the most broken g...

I like that suggestion a lot. Upvoted.

I like 2-player games to avoid kingmaking and maximize the skill cap. 2p games tend to last 9-12 generations, though I've played games that lasted anywhere from 7 to 15 gens. As mentioned, a fast game favors a terraforming/rush type of strategy where you score most of your points with TR and on the ...

I love Hellas. I think the milestones and awards are better designed than on Tharsis and I think there are more ways to outplay your opponents when fighting for them. I have personally performed better this season, probably because many players are inexperienced at this map. Can't wait for random ma...

So i have mostly skimmed this topic as it seems to derail at some points. I dont understand how Mars U is considered a BETTER draw card then AIC. It is cheaper yes and doesnt have requirements but it needs a flow of science cards(noting that each one bought/played counts towards the cost put into t...

So as I understand this, people at the top of arena only want to play the top of the arena. Thereby creating a class system where lower players cant get more points because they are always playing lower players. We are talking about pixels on a game board, where your reward for finishing high rank ...

Wait, can someone help me out here ??? I am fairly high level at "Earth". I just won a grueling, difficult Arena game, and I gained .... 13 Arena tokens. Where's this K-factor of 40 ?? I am very confused. If you win against someone with the exact same Arena rating as yourself, you gain 20...
