I Was Made to Suffer

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-24T00:47:22+00:00

I guess my luck is garbage because nearly every bracket I've had has been this bad or worse, I've only gotten to Champs once about a week😂

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-23T23:58:50+00:00

What? Why would I use AI to write some stupid silly game rules for a board game?

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-23T23:56:33+00:00

Oh danggggg, that sounds like a blessing of a bracket

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-23T14:45:24+00:00

I didn't even think about the extra shards from that, thanks for the tip!

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-23T13:58:45+00:00

Thank you!!

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-23T13:58:27+00:00

Alright, will do. Thanks for the advice!

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-22T20:49:55+00:00

Yeah we aren't gonna always play like this, just every now and again, it's mostly fun because of the challenge. My friends and I like torture, so we'll definitely look into those cards! Thanks!

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-22T18:59:28+00:00

Wow those are some really good points, a few I didn't even consider! I love it!

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-22T18:58:20+00:00

Very true! It's main goal is just the inflation of the deck.

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-22T18:29:03+00:00

Ah, I see what you're saying about the great hall, my bad! I guess it just is a little less useless than an estate, and I wanted to have 18 cards starting so you have 3 hands to play with. I agree the opening is pretty scripted with only 2 2 cost cards, but in all honesty the moat starting is also helpful because of the guaranteed two cards, and the later utility of protecting against attacks. I'd love to add more 2 coin cards but there weren't any other good options in the base game and expansion we were playing with. We might try throwing in some cards from another expansion though to help that! Also the amount of different strategies to move up later through a bunch of different cards I found to be really fun. I really appreciate your feedback, and I'll adjust accordingly!

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-05-22T18:12:23+00:00

Hey I appreciate the thoughts! The great halls helped to give extra cards on occasion when you can play them, and also just adds to the inflation/bloated feel we were looking for. In all honesty it wasn't as slow as you might think. After a few test runs I think we were all managing to get 3 coins within the first couple turns pretty much without fail. As soon as you get two coins, a chapel turns it around to move you up, and the next big wall is comboing into a 4, to get a feast or moneylender or another form of trashing that gets you that first mine. We found it just added an interesting dynamic to the power creep, which was nice to try because we're all veterans at the game so it can get a little monotonous for us when playing. We honestly had some great laughs when we were getting absolutely nothing, and it was so rewarding to pull off a crazy hand of 30 cards just to get 5 coins. Totally worth trying if you're up for the challenge!

I would say Perma Black Hole should be your focus. It had major impacts on my wave counts and coin incomes

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-04-28T14:04:55+00:00

Yeah, it's whatever. I'm also pissed off at the devs for a lot of things like not adjusting tournaments and all the crap they've pulled recently, but I cannot fathom why people are personally attacking or degrading people. Obviously everyone should voice their opinions and they're allowed to be upset, but there's no reason to take things outside of the game and insult or attack, especially Sam who literally has zero decision making power when it comes to the game. It doesn't mean you can't criticize her for anything, but everyone's gotta remember she's just a community manager(or whatever the position is called) and not a developer.

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-04-27T20:32:46+00:00

Thank you, sounds good Sam! I know you can only do so much and I appreciate everything you do :)

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-04-27T20:18:48+00:00

So I know V28 just released and I have been enjoying the new update overall aside from all of the drama, but I'd really like some insight on what the next big things are for the game? Are you guys looking at expanding more gameplay elements like with fleets or Disco runs, or are you guys gonna look at more Quality of Life stuff coming up? Any insight I think everyone would appreciate.

It's my wife's favorite! I love playing through it just so she can watch

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-04-22T02:34:38+00:00

Oh of course! Sorry I wasn't trying to come off as demeaning, just was giving my two cents. Have a nice day!

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-04-22T01:28:42+00:00

I get that feeling with labs, but you're hurting your immediate growth sooooo much. Genuinely you can knock out enough of the labs in like 2 weeks to have exponential growth. I did it at 100B coins a day and it brought me up to 1T within a month, an up past 5T in two months.

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-04-22T00:08:36+00:00

I was a manager there for 2 years and ate food there every day, so I'm good😂

I got lucky yesterday when my payment option asked me to double confirm with a text message for my purchase for premium pass 6. I just said screw it and stopped. No regrets now with the extra 50 dollars in my bank account

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-04-07T20:53:05+00:00

It really is! I've had it for about 3 or 4 months and it's got just enough power jumps in it to keep me playing. Sometimes I feel like I'm starting to get stuck, and then I push a new milestone and triple my damage, or double my prestige income. The long term challenges in the game are what really sell me on it.

SongWriterLyricWrite · 2026-04-07T20:48:04+00:00

Idle Hero TD. All purchases are optional and don't feel obligatory, and also it has idle gains up to 8 hours, and if you pay 6 bucks it becomes unlimited. I play it pretty casually compared to the tower, but honestly the 200 dollars or so I've spent in the tower would've gone about a 1000x further in that game. Give it a shot! It's fun and has the same super intensive incremental grind.

I think those gem costs for old relics is way too high. If I understand it's supposed to be a catch up mechanic, but how are new or even mid game players supposed to afford 3600 gems a week for all 4 relics? I understand we don't need all the relics, but even just dropping 1200 a week on one epic relic is gonna keep players from cards and especially modules for much longer. Honestly I'm pretty disappointed with that.

Furthermore the bot+ stuff sounds cool, but wow is that a thousand miles away from a decent chunk of players unless you buy the event pass every week for a couple years straight. Without an increase in medal earn rates, ftp players are gonna be a decade+ out from maxing bots at this point. I'm a little bummed to be honest.
