Re: olympia = auto loss

Olympia in 3 player isn't so bad. Brown resources are in short supply so the 'free' plays (of either variety, but I prefer side B) have some value to them. Disrupting enemies is very valuable to it as the 'free' plays means it is less vulnerable to disruption itself. Side B has good synergy for mili...

Re: Alexandria

I would say the trick to new Alexandria in the current 3P tournament mode is to either play A side, where a 'free caravansary' is a good card in age 2, or play B side intending to only get the first stage.

Suggestion: Remove New Olympia from Competitive Play

I think we've all played enough to know a sad truth: The new Olympia is bad to the point of being unbalanced. Its operating at approximately a 5 points handicap to the most basic Gizah side A, and more points compared to other wonders. Not only are its powers situational and weak, but the resource c...
