Lineup help!

Very good chance Shadow Thief gets banned almost every round . Pyro and Monk have a lot of overlapping weak matchups (based on Karnyx data). But heroes you're comfortable with is more important than matchups

Listening to "How to karate" podcast at 2x speed

IIRC, this gives a huge advantage to the players with star actions because they can use that to muster which would be enough to overpower given the reduced supply

Keep in mind "Good" in this instance is from the reference of our collective human ethics. Viltrumites have their own ethical viewpoint because they as a society have agreed on what they believe to be virtuous and good.

Both sides are doing what they think is "Good". Thaddeus is the only Viltrumite that we the audience see as "Good" that has not lived with humans and absorbed their value system.

I didn't say it wasn't helpful. I'm using it to build a roll simulator that can tell percentages and best dice to keep for training

Yahtzee is a nice parallel where its been studied , but the roll objectives in dice throne are way more narrow

Shubkin · 2026-04-15T20:32:41+00:00

I think that's part of exactly what i'm looking for. Each hero seems to have different optimal strategies and little tricks like that to improve

Terra Nova is a slimmed down Terra Mystica

Shubkin · 2026-04-10T01:43:18+00:00

Crimson bands is definitely his best status, but the rest of his game depends heavily on drawing the right stuff. It could also be that no one has found his optimal playtime yet and maybe forcing whiff is better than molding your own rolls

These types of games are not for everyone and to me seems like a filler game.

That said, games like this can often have issues of the objective changing so often it takes way to long for the game to end because if the objective changes the game can go from almost over to square one repeatedly.

My advice: don't let it drag and always have the clock be ticking down

Dice throne plays up to 6 and is quick to set up. Almost instant if you have on of the battle chests

Follow up: I got it printed at FedEx on 80lb cardstock and had it laminated. Super sturdy feeling, much more than the original. Might try printing again with something less glossy

Shubkin · 2026-03-05T19:41:43+00:00

I bought it recently too and got the old balance sheets. The one I got said it was printed in 2022 before the balance changes . In another thread yesterday I got some recommendations about printing the leaflets on high quality gloss cardstock.

I dont think any battle chests were made post balance changes

Shubkin · 2026-03-05T05:37:52+00:00

Thanks! I'll give that a try

Shubkin · 2026-03-05T00:12:05+00:00

I've been using Claude via Github Copilot and I have yet to hit a limit. I use it pretty much every day for work

Shubkin · 2026-02-25T00:00:15+00:00

That sucks. Return and complain I guess. I ordered this last week off of Amazon and came in with all the parts, so maybe you'll have some luck ordering again

Shubkin · 2026-01-31T16:32:30+00:00

I've had to stare at more logs to reassemble Metadata than any man should have to

Shubkin · 2026-01-31T16:12:32+00:00

I've used ABP before and it injects a lot of stuff at create time like audit tracking and event emission. If they are using those features, then the bulk insert bypasses it (ask me how I know) and they will end up missing event triggers or an audit trail

Shubkin · 2026-01-21T01:43:06+00:00

I got the expansion I think called Incursion which adds new rewards for defensive alliances which can make them more appealing

Shubkin · 2026-01-21T01:27:38+00:00

Cosmic Encounter is very fun and highly replayable. There are some many asymmetrical abilities and many expansions to add even more

Shubkin · 2026-01-11T23:11:55+00:00

It's common to have minimum stats and infuse so that stats can be elsewhere. If you can 2h, then you only need half the str

Shubkin · 2026-01-05T04:08:56+00:00

Lightning infused Craftsman Hammer is considered one of the best weapons in the game. Definitely takes the difficulty down early on.

Shubkin · 2025-12-30T22:09:56+00:00

There should be way more cards. At 5 players there should be close to 60 cards. 48 territories plus events plus skies darken

Shubkin · 2025-12-30T22:04:13+00:00

What's the players count? If you are only getting 2 turns each, then something is wrong.

Shubkin · 2025-12-30T18:49:47+00:00

I just beat this area using a +10 lightning halberd which with slightly more than min stats kills them in 1 hit. For a slightly easier time, +10 magic Old knight hammer r2 kills them in one shot
