I've seen quite a lot of good players play turn-based games, ranging from 5 up to 40 at a time, so I have a few questions on that: 1. How do you keep track of the game? Do you write down every draft, every skipped card, every opponent's move that might be revealing of their game plan? I can barely ...

Cool initiative! I played a few games against the bot and think it seems like a good way to practise for beginners. It seems around 200 elo ish level? It generally seems to understand which cards are good so drafting skills seem alright but it doesn’t really formulate a coherent strategy and plays w...

Disagree here, most Earth tag cards are already good without PL. Some EC EO Cartel plays gen1 are basically gg. This start would be pretty OP for both PL and Vitor imo As someone who likes both, I feel PL is almost always strong, Vitor is good and can go out of control with discounts and card draw ...

Vitor has the potential to go way, waaay more out of hand than Point Luna imo if it gets its hands on card draw and, god forbid, earth catapult/RO/agt.

Mid-game, I don't really think it's *production* per se but just what your strategy is, if you think you have a path to victory. If you're getting absolutely thrashed I think it's fair to concede. If it's too early you really never know though... I had a memorable game against a 500+ player who got ...

agreed. But you just pivoted from "maybe once early game" to "2-3 times is okay". I think there can be some use cases like the ones you mentioned, but in most scenarios using your early game MC on steel prod doesn't seem like a great idea, especially as, unlike most steel prod c...

This gave me a good chuckle

2-3 times early game is acceptable. What I'm talking about is people who literally activate it every single generation (so I'm talking 10+ times), and as a result are completely broke because that's all they do. It's objectively terrible. If someone does that to win miner then quite frankly they can...

Fair enough! I mainly play on steam where I have a semi-decent ELO, I guess I will just need to grind some more games until I get an ELO that people consider worthy playing

I've only played a few games on this site so far and in like at least 2/3 of the games I see a shockingly bad use of industrial center. Namely, activating the power *every generation*. I was just in a 13 gen game where my opponent did this every gen. Come on now. THINK ABOUT IT. Its power is maybe w...
