Re: Thoughts on the new edition

Alexandria and zeus wonders seem to have been overnerfed making the overall balance worse than previous version imo. This. I don't know how they managed to make Olympia even worse than before. It was already one of the worst wonder (at least in 4 player games). And Halikarnassos is now actually eas...

Re: Arena Season 2: let's go!

-The 3/3 4/2 5/1 system for gaining stars based on different levels should really be rethought as it isn't based on good math. I think that is one of the main issue especially games with platinum and diamond league. Later in the season to get up in the leagues as a lower league member becomes so mu...

Re: Super high score without green

That's about the most perfect first two round and two first moves in the 3rd round as it gets. The very high scores without science always include getting both of your neighbors building all in science in a 6-7 player games where there are enough science for all and then getting both strategist and ...

Re: Is the Arena really achieving his main goal?

Would there be a viable way for top players to advance more quickly for long games, to reduce the time commitment required ? Actually, yes, there is: https://boardgamearena.com/bug?id=14455&vote :-) But I think the main thing would be to improve the matchmaking so that strong players can play a...

Re: (EXPERIMENTATION ENDED) Arena mode upgrade

Yeah, I think for some games like 7 wonders the scheduled sessions worked very fine. It felt more like a serious competition which I think Arena mode was made to. Now you are basically forced to allow every player to play with you as the game does not start if you make preferences like allowing only...

Re: Feedback for Arena mode for 7 Wonders

I think many underestimate the strategic depth in 4-7 games. The game is just different than with 3 players. It presents a different kind of challenge when you have to take double cards into account with each card you play. Although there is more variation in the game, good player can maximize the l...

Re: NEW: Arena mode (Season 0 - BETA)

The game doesn't always automatically jump straight into the playing window at the start which has caused many abandoned games for me (7 wonders) as some players supposedly doesn't have noticed that the game has started. It leads also to the question on why the abandoned games affects your average s...
