You already kind of answered your own question: you have 4 civ cards but only 2 commerce cards. Those 2 commerce cards together score 3 points as indicated by the scoring on the card. The other 2 civ cards gave you other benefits.

Most of your recent games have the setting

Even more cards
Included

These cards are in alpha and are still undergoing development / testing. Therefore, games with that setting are only available in friendly mode. You should turn off that setting / find games without that setting.

Definitely not a ban: Pulverizer Plow: The strength is just good, but not too good. Also it's ridiculous to claim that it 'destroys the clay economy'. We can also say that rammed clay destroys the clay economy as well, let alone that rammed clay needs even more clay than this card. Full disclaimer,...

Looking at your game history it seems neither of you two is actually playing arena games. Instead, you're joining so-called "regular" games with the setting "Even more cards - Included". The even more cards are a whole bunch of new cards that were recently implemented and are sti...

Sometimes when I'm on mobile phone I'm making moves for my turn-based games, but I want to skip some - I might have notes to check, the UI is too hard on mobile, I simply need some more time to think or any other reason.

I likely wouldn't play a vulture before any such birds are played as it might discourage some people. As for the other part, it also depends on player count. If it's a 4p game we both benefit from it, so we gain compared to the 2 other players. Also, if I don't activate mine, maybe some other oppone...

I actually agree that a wetland focused strategy is usually somewhat weaker. For that reason, I actually prefer the tuck and draw over tuck and lay eggs, because you end up with more cards. This means you can take the wetland action less often and focus on playing birds & laying eggs more. I act...
