Re: New Arena season corporations

so, this is basically the same as last just with fewer corp choices, correct? I ask cuz I misunderstood it the first time I played Yep. Some of the prelude corps (and in particular Point Luna) are considered to be somewhat imbalanced, so gurus voted to have a season without prelude corps. Colonies ...

Re: Early version of an AI you can practice TFM against

Very cool project! Gives people a chance to play by themselves without using the solo mode, similar to the AI on Steam Please note: https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=48784 and https://boardgamearena.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45645 I mean, both those threads are not super relevant for ...

Re: New Arena season corporations

Gurus voted for it, so this is the format for the season. If anyone is a guru they can vote to add Prelude corps back, and then that vote can pass. Colonies corps are not included, you're confused. It's not possible to vote to remove/keep corporations on a corp by corp basis. Remember to go to https...

Loads. Tons. They can't drop once they reach a new tier, so enough games (even if you lose more than you win) and you will reach Elite. You've completely misunderstood why it's a problem.

Re: Reload page for undo

It's been a bug since last year, something they did triggered it since it worked before. Here's the bug report if you want to upvote it:

Re: Players leaving with no moves left to make

Thanks for the reply. That's the funny thing... the two players that left had completed all moves... they had no plants to place in production and if someone planted against one of their cities it would be easy to tally their points... win OR lose. Also the guy who left got a very hefty karma and f...

Re: Should you be able to see how many cards your opponent buys?

The rule book does not address this, if I recall correctly. In the physical game, I could see a scenario in which nobody wants to declare first. With the digital implementation, we could make it hidden until after all players have decided. Is this something we should look into? I wonder whether the...

Re: Players leaving with no moves left to make

Guessing you mean this game: https://boardgamearena.com/table?table=875659171 "The player who left (or was skipped) lost the game and got a ☯ penalty. The other players won this game and get 96% of normal ELO points (because 96% of this game was played before the incident)." You all won be...

Re: Game settings that would make Terraforming Mars on BGA more fun

There is zero excuse for the hilariously bad Arena matchmaking. Even if they want to use arena for matchmaking, then they could use arena rating instead of just arena tiers. Or they could make it so players can drop in arena tiers, instead of just hitting Elite once and then never going back down, d...

Re: What to play when you are poor

I think it also becomes extremely important to be particular about what you're buying. I struggle a lot playing poor if there are premium cards in the drafts - being disciplined enough to not buy cards you can't reasonably play/costs too much to develop can be a very valuable skill.
