Sorry I just found that bit funny...

In answer to your question, it's a hard question to answer. In singles games I will only play with cards (of the escalating variety). In team games I prefer no cards although I also enjoy escalating.

So if you divide the two I'd say - singles cards and team games no cards.

But if I have to give a single answer I suppose it'd be cards (but not flat rate)

Third Answer...I'm happy with both settings.

Thanks for the input Ghengis.

This is the first of a series of research questions. At the moment we are just trying to get a broad outline picture. Once we have a reasonable sample, further questions with greater depth will follow.

Depends on my mood

In a freestyle speed esc cards are what make hte game exciting and fun. In a no card game thou, I personally fell that there is less of a luck influence. BUt hey, thats just me

no cards, because i play mostly 1 vs 1

For 2 player and team games, I prefer No Cards. In multi-player singles games, Escalating. Flat Rate is just dumb, in my opinion.

I dun rly care...

It depends if i feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelz like it

or when i got SKEEEELZ

(nd if i don't got skeelz, i got steal ur skeelz)

I think you forgot to add the 'myself' option... that seems like a fairly essential one in this poll.

Iv been eliminated too many times by a "lucky set"

I prefer no cards

no cards are too boring, but they are good for 1v1 or teams, but not multi team

I play mostly the 2.1 map, no cards takes to long

It depends on the rest of the characteristics of that game.

no cards, period...-0

Anything but flat rate really, not too even when a player gets a rainbow set with first 3 cards and other player gets a 4 set after 5 cards, especially in 1v1 games.

I prefer no cards. It takes more patience and calculation. and makes the game more fluid for me.

esc is about running the board and chaining cards. The first game I won was on the North American board with 8 folks. I won the game on turn 8.
red had some bad dice and I noticed he had 4 cards. I took him and three others out. The next turn I received 25 armies for all my territories..took out the next weakest and won that turn.

It was LUCK. I knew what to do but I was at the mercy of the dice and cards.

says the guy with 3 completed games under his belt...-0

I like cards. Escalating preferably.

exactly right, escalating and no cards remove a significant amount (but not all) of the luck element.

I think quite the opposite. Have you ever played dubs when the the other team started out with a continent that could be easily fortified? Thats pretty much GG in no cards.

I like escalating cards, it feels so great to be able to steamroll everybody in one turn with multiple card sets.

I need many types of games to enjoy myself here...

LOL

Yes... but only if you have Wicked's avatar up on your screen.


I voted cards... though I like playing all different ways. It's more challenging... as you have to go from one game to another and adjust your stratgey based on the various options. I play a lot of World 2.1 games... but the strategy is so different based on card type, FOW, number of players, fortification etc.

Comic agrees with Genghis
