Rating competition with an unknown person in the world for the first time
- I was very nervous.
My opponent had bought a mansion early on and a garden in the process, so I thought, well, we’re not going to lose.
He bought a village and a blacksmith shop along the way, maybe based on my play, and he was on the chain for quite a long time.
I’ve been in the chain, but I’m short on treasures. You can’t even buy gold coins because they’re 5 gold, you can buy silver coins first. Rate? Fluctuated.
- I see.
- They say new players start with a rate of 35, but I got 38.8, I’m not sure if that counts playing with friends or fighting the AI.
- I also saw a description that it is not a rate game when you add a bot, so it must have been a rate game when you played with your friend (I didn’t see it because he set up a table).
This match lasted about 18 minutes, including matching. You can play with just the basics without subs.
- I’m setting my level at 1 in the matching so I only get the basic supply.
- I guess if you raise the level, it becomes “if they have it, that’s what you’ll get”.
Second time, this time I try to raise the level to 10. I also tried to squeeze the bottom of the rate. I tried to get it above -4 and got a warning, so I’ll leave it at -5.
- Isn’t it basic again?
I’m getting nervous.
- I thought it might be a bandit stero for silver coins silver coins, but 6 gold came first, so I assumed craftsman, laboratory.
- The opponent is doing this, is he strong?
- I see. Strong.
- I bought four victory point cards w
Vassal, it’s a terminal action…
- Dominion Tactics Explained: the Vassal Chain｜Urihari｜note
- Ah, I see, so if the action ratio is high, it’s effectively two cantrips of gold.
- So it is safe to offer coins at festivals and vassals against the destruction of treasures by bandits?
- The only thing that can be compressed in this supply is the guards…
- There is no compression, so is it the first vassal vassal or the vassal silver coin? Oh, the one in the supply is not a workshop, but a renovation, so let’s go with the vassal renovation.
- Turn 7, 10 gold, genus state
- If I had more purchases, I’d put in a festival or something.
- Turn 12, 15 gold 2 purchased. Maybe a genus state festival.
- Turn 14, vassal withered.
- Turn 18, 1 province left. 25:27
- Turn 20, 28:33, 11 Fri.
We barely won, but this is a slow build, right?
- The way you just played it, you’re losing on turn 15.
- Looking again at the opponent’s hand, we see
- There are four guards in the room, this compresses it.
- Four moats too.
- Festival 6
- Acquired by artisans?
Tried again. Early on, I could not take advantage of the overlap of vassals and renovations with each other. Better not to add too many actions until more actions are added at festivals.
- First hand, silver coins, renovations
- The silver coins will be destroyed later.
- T5 Craftsman
- T10, oh I see. I can put the action on the top of the deck while destroying it with the guards?
- You can also stack action cards in your hand with artisans, I see.
- Craftsman with two actions remaining, leaving the acquired guards in hand and loading other actions…
- T13, sort the deck top in guards from vassal to festivals and play vassal! Makes sense.
- What do you acquire in a craftsman, the person who just said that didn’t buy the institute, but isn’t it good?
- T14, Institute 2 festivals guards, vassal vassal festivals, 3 actions. Moat. Hmmm, 4 purchases, 12 gold, 2 actions, 2 moat renovations, 2 artisans, 21 points difference, 5 left in the province, how do you interpret that? Should we go after it now? I’m not sure…maybe we should make the artisan a province by renovation, and the province and vassal by purchase. I miscalculated and it was 14 gold. Maybe 2 vassals?
- T15, opponent is a dukedom, 18:24. 2 guards, 2 vassals, 2 renovations, and a craftsman in the province. 6 gold… maybe a dukedom.
- T16, opponent has 7 gold, 1 genshu left. 27:27, hand, 2 moat, 2 rebuild, 2 genshu… Hmmm, there is a way to tie the score… I’m thinking of rebuilding the dugout into a mansion.
- T17, opponent is a public domain. Institute, Festival of Festivals, Guards ~. 17 gold 4 purchased. Residence of the Duke of Gongsheng
- Oh, I got logged out before the results were displayed.
- Well, you didn’t see it, but you would have won. It’s still a little late.
- Two turns too late I could have bought four victory point cards too.
- I made a mistake with the loading operation and it’s the other way around, but it’s okay because what I want to see is the deck list, and it looks like there’s a lot of copper coins and mansions left over and not enough compression.
- Shall we try to guard promptly with first hand silver coins silver coins?
- First silver coinage silver coinage
- You bought a guard on turn 4 and got discarded by your opponent’s bandits.
- I bought 3 cards by turn 6. - Craftsman, discarding three cards.
- Turn 8, buy market and shuffle
- So far, the only terminal action is the craftsman, so there should be no accidents.
- Oh, I made a supply mistake, it was the storeroom, not the market… oh well.
- Turn 9, discard 4 cards. Craftsman takes the festivities, vassal x2.
- Accident, 9 gold 2 purchased. festive vassal
- 13 gold 5 purchased, 4 vassals purchased
- Pulled off, 22 gold 5 purchased, vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal vassal
- Institute at the Craftsman, 26 gold 5 purchased, 3 genus state. This leaves 1 genshu remaining with a 12 point lead.
- AI bought the last one and killed itself.
- Thirteen turns, or did it work this time?
- The compression was a long way because only guards were available, but first I bought silver coins to stock the guards, then destroyed the silver coins.
vs Human
- If you use the Capitol against me in Stero, I’ll change states every turn…
- The amount of money seems to be insufficient since the other party was a gazetteer purchase even when there was a lot of it.
- The other party bought a gentry state and ended it.
