So far, it would seem the answer is yes. You said you're ready; care to have a fight with me?

I'll be using this deck for the purposes of the battle, if you're willing. Still rather close to the starter deck, all things considered.

I hope someone may note the type I so enjoy, the style I love to play via by my more subtle ploy...

If this is still alive then I want in.

I'll take five boosters and hope for the best.

I am happy to host a Rooster versus PrinnyBaal match on my thread.
Please post both your decks on my thread for the benefit of anyone who wants to read through it later...

I will just get started on those boosters.



Don't hesitate to mention it if your think I made any mistakes!

Yay! I got a Furnaceworker!

EDIT: Also, I think I've come up with a work around for first turn advantage: In any given turn, you may not take damage to your FS from attacks unless each of your creatures and constructions in play have taken at least one hit from an attack. For example, I attack with three Dwarf Recruits, my opponent has only a Goblin Swordmaster and a Poorly Monitored Barracks in play. The goblin takes one of the hits, causing me to discard one of my recruits, the barracks take a hit and are discarded, and only the third hit can be to his FS.

This means that, provided you have enough things attacking, you will be able to take out your enemy's ranged units without using your own.

EDIT 2:

May I join to make this a three-way match? I would be using this deck:

Interesting idea,and i will consider it for its own merits, so people would be forces to use their ranged and utility units to defend themselves. But the first turn would still give them the ability to get more units out first. And it may cause conflicts with units that use abilities. But this is certainly worth considering.

Maybe a better approach t first turn advantage would be to space out the resources, maybe giving 4/1/1/1 to the first player, then 7/1/1/1 to the second, then 3/1/1/1 to the first, then 3/1/1/1 to the second, then 3/1/1/1 to the first and then stop handing out resources. It would lose much of the dwarf fortress feel, but on the other hand it often takes a little while to use your starting gear.

Anyway, it is too late for me to think about this, but I will try to get bac kt o it some other time.

Those numbers give player two one less of each of stone, wood and metal. They would need to get something like 7/2/2/2 then 3/1/1/1, 7/1/1/1 then 3/2/2/2 or possibly 7/1/1/1 then 3/1/1/1 and finally 0/1/1/1. Personally I favour the second option if this approach is used.

We have a game started over on my thread, with 3 people, and I have heard that someone is making a new set of cards. So things are looking up at the moment.

I am doing something related, but not a set of cards.
But throwing ideas on here isn't such a bad idea

There have been a bunch of suggestions over the last half of this thread, I could try to collate them.

P.S.
 Shouldn't your avatar be on fire?

What about maintaining a military? Creatures would be moved in or out of the military during the combat phase and creatures cannot attack units outside of the military unless you attack with more creatures than the military has.
