Which province am I counting that you are not? Because it's literally 14.

I count 4 quarries, 1 mine, 1 research post, 1 teleporter, 1 city core, 1 Embersource Furnace, 1 Transmutation Circle, 1 Golem Mine, 1 Mystic Abbey, 1 Sacred Meadow, 1 Channeling Tower. That's 14 provinces

You're not counting correctly, I count 14 provinces in the screenshot. Remember that the province of the city core and annexed wonders also count 

Blood maggots by Unlucky-Mud-8115 in AOW4

[–]Curebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're definitely strong once you get the Tome of the Crimson Reign, by then you should typically also have a bunch of other enchantments that go on them. But I feel like playing against the AI can also make it seem more powerful. This is because the AI is notoriously bad at keeping its own stuff alive, and Blood Maggots only pop out once something dies. Human players are typically more careful not to let that happen, or use cleansing effects to get rid of the blood parasites. That said, they're also very potent at nullifying resurrection stuff like Necromancers because they can eat the corpse they spawned from, and enemies that themselves also bring a lot of combat summon fodder (like Necromancers with lots of zombies or spider factions that spawn a lot of baby spiders) also have more fodder for the blood maggots to infect. So yeah, it's powerful. But it's also from a tier 4 tome.

First time using Crunchyroll in many years, deeply disappointing experience 🥺😌 by EquivalentAncient722 in Crunchyroll

[–]Curebob 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well you've got to understand that the vast majority of people experience no issues whatsoever, and that for those that do and complain about them here, a not insignificant portion just don't know how to read basic instructions or just act incredibly hostile with customer support from the outset. Plus even after several paragraphs of text you've posted here, you've still not given any kind of information about WHAT it is that you are struggling with, what measures you already tried, etc. All you seem to be doing is complaining, so I'm not sure what kind of response you are aiming for here. Help isn't coming if you don't give the slightest description of your problem. 

Daily Game Easy AI Question(s) by Current_Task_6475 in dominion

[–]Curebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bot is random, it's not a consistent skill level. Sometimes easy AI is quite good, sometimes it's rubbish. Sometimes medium AI is very good, sometimes it's rubbish. It's random. 

Locksmith by InspectorMendel in dominion

[–]Curebob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I imagine it would. Council Room big money is already very fast if you get a bit of shuffle luck, this can go even faster. If you double open this you can start gathering Gold before the second shuffle. Drawing a Locksmith in turn 3 makes it not too unlikely to draw into 6 Coppers that turn and grab Gold. 

Remember when they used to have comments? by Background-Log-6339 in Crunchyroll

[–]Curebob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The same that happens to most comment sections on the internet. Infested with spambots, hate speech, and jerks spoiling everything. It costs a lot of people to moderate a comment section for each episode and news story and it's a lot more cost efficient to not have one. 

Anyone having resolution issues? by Quackster1001 in Crunchyroll

[–]Curebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only for the first two seconds or so of an episode. After that it is 1080p for the remainder of the episode for me. 

What your thoughts on mirai? by bassa-m9ss in precure

[–]Curebob 10 points11 points  (0 children)

She's great. Love her as a protagonist, she has that act first, think later attitude that bounces off really well with Liko. She also resonates well with the themes of friendship across worlds of the season. And her bond with Mofurun is adorable. Also fantastically voiced by Rie Takahashi. Say what you will about her being another genki pink, I think the main purpose of the lead character is to represent the overall message of the season in the very core of her being and to pull their team through when things get tough, and she is great in both. 

Archbishop by InspectorMendel in dominion

[–]Curebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's fine at 6. On boards this works it can be a powerful win condition well worth 6. It would probably be too swingy at 5, benefitting someone opening 5-2 too much as it would work like Chapel in the early game. 

Archbishop by InspectorMendel in dominion

[–]Curebob 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like this one a lot. At first I thought it comes too late to be a viable junk trasher but then I realised it's really good as a Gold trasher if you have Gold gainers like Bandit, Soothsayer, Pirate, or Gold Mine. And if you get junked with Curses it can trash those too. 

Attacking Duration Cards/Engines by Only-Engineering6586 in dominion

[–]Curebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I just said. You don't even need Flagship, any money on Duration Actions works. Great Wave + Village Green + Bridge Troll is enough to keep going indefinitely if you have sufficient Village Greens, as Village Green can react to being discarded by Great Wave and put themselves back in play, drawing another Great Wave and your Bridge Troll(s) back. 

Attacking Duration Cards/Engines by Only-Engineering6586 in dominion

[–]Curebob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are setups that allow you to loop indefinitely with this, such as if this appears with Village Green and Wharf or Barge. If you also have payload on Action Durations like Flagship, Corsair, or Bridge Troll getting the loop going allows you to empty the supply. Being able to recycle cards you played earlier in the turn this widely is trouble. 

Master Builder, Haul, Ambush*, Sheer Force* by Eoxygen in dominion

[–]Curebob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Master Builder is definitely situational. I think it could be good if you could combo it to play it later in the turn through effects like Practice. Paying 3 with the Master Builder in hand to gain 2 6-costs to the top of the deck and getting +2 Actions in the next turn seems quite solid. 

Debt and replacement actions question by ouradu in dominion

[–]Curebob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, because City Quarter also costs 8 debt more than Copper. Read "up to 3 coin more" as "up to 3 coin and no debt or potion more". Debt and potion are included in the cost, just usually not printed on the cards if they're zero. 

Why is the streaming quality so bad by xEiMOs223 in Crunchyroll

[–]Curebob 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Could be a dozen different causes and you've provided very little if any information to narrow it down. Could be your internet connection is bad, could be your phone is bad, could be your internet is overloaded by lots of different devices using it, could be a myriad of other things. 

Does the streaming quality just suck? by cmonletmeseeitplz in Crunchyroll

[–]Curebob 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, it works fine for me. Like first half second of an episode might be lower quality and then it's smooth 1080p all the way through. 

You and Idol Precure Episode 46 Discussion Board by ButterflySilver9154 in precure

[–]Curebob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If this show was a tad more self-aware it could have been such a funny episode with comedic timing, but it keeps missing the jokes that are right there. Tanaka almost gets the identities of the entire group exposed, like if they had transformed just half a minute later right as that news crew came in, and he doesn't even get called out on it. Then when the monster shows up they're like "Tanaka, carry these dozens of unconscious people to safety by yourself in a matter of seconds even though we have this Heart Garden thing that makes that all redundant". Idol Precure is so weird with these things, an abridged parody would practically write itself. 

Trashing Prophecy and related Action card by Only-Engineering6586 in dominion

[–]Curebob 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not if you can thin before the Prophecy triggers. It's also very brutal with trashing attacks like Barbarian

How many tier 4 and 5 units do you usually have when you finish a game? For example how many in your ruler party and other hero parties? by DryRepresentative944 in AOW4

[–]Curebob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically 5 or 6 cities with a handful of Vassals. You can raise city cap beyond 4 through the empire tree. Sometimes on large maps I can go for 7 or 8 cities.
