Re: I wish this game had a mulligan system

Would it help getting it on the radar if feature request for this was created? Unsure of what the usual proceeding for new features is.

Re: I wish this game had a mulligan system

There is a variant rule in Prelude 2 where you get dealt 3 corps and 6 preludes (but still only pick 1 corp and 2 preludes), which I think is something that could be a real addition to this implementation of TfM, not only when playing with expansions, but also with Base + Preludes.

Re: How do you get better at Terraforming Mars?

I would say, to get better at TfM 1) Learn the intrinsic value of resources and cards, some stuff like the quantitative guide is good to start but also get a feel of what are the "top cards" and what cards/strategies are traps for newer players. 2) Learn the difference of rush/mid-range/en...

Re: Discussion on AI Central (rebalance, when to play, the works)

Is AI Central good? Yes, undoubtedly so, it allows you to "freely" draw 2 cards per gen, which is 50% more than any other player can get from the draft. And they have to pay for them! Is it broken or does it need rebalancing? Depends on your definition of broken, but imo there are stronger...

Re: Errata Earth Catapult

I thought it was the best starting card in the game. Which cards are considered better? It certainly is the best starting card in the game, by far, but other cards could compete with it as the "best card in the game" in general, as they are better later on but not as good in the first gen...

Re: Errata Earth Catapult

It is clearly the best card to get in your opening hand, with almost any strategy, but as the game goes on it becomes less good (few times will you play EC in the last gens as it is quite expensive and won't discount that many cards). That being said, it is still very strong even in the midgame and ...

Re: Analysis of Gameplay by someone 300 elo or more

So with this hand, nuke zone + mining area gives you 2 tiles for polar explorer, allied banks and metal rich asteroid are nice, with 3 earth tags miranda is great (also good for rim settler), and given that you will push some heat, bushes and farming are good to speculate on imo. Designed microorgan...

Re: Player was able to abandon game in arena once time run into red

Emgizy, that was pretty weak of seeing you not finishing a game against Orang3p33l and Ghaleon, both are top and seasoned competitor in arena. Who are definitely not slow. You caught both of them with this exploit and have done so in the past against newer players as well long before I made this th...

Re: Player was able to abandon game in arena once time run into red

I don't know what the issue is here. If you and I agree to some terms and game rules, and you break them, you can't then argue whenever I decide the game is no longer what I signed up for and decide to abandon the game. You get no vote on this as you have broken our agreement. Whatever my reason is ...

Re: Player was able to abandon game in arena once time run into red

You could argue that abandoning the game immediately when someone goes into negative time is bad mannered, but you could just as easily (or more easily even) argue that if you are not following the rules of the game by using more time than you are alloted to, you should be immediately expelled and g...
