Well now I’m totally going to choke. Thanks. ;)

Mmmm… no you aren’t! :)

dannimal:

Hey, if a unit with Spy is adjacent to the Steel Police HQ, does it get the ability to use Net of Steel? If it does, and dies from the damage does the Net of Steel go away?

You can’t steal the Net ability with a Spy.

Boooooooooo

Also, dannimal (NY) defeats pal (Borgo).

Whoo!

You totally vultured that last turn win. GG.

MP7 result: Jay > AT 13 - 4. Dave had nearly the perfect start and played well. Playing Vegas against DDM is just nightmare mode for the Vegas player.

Is there any army that Vegas shines against?

jaygittings · 2014-05-30T05:56:07.000Z

They do fairly well against Hegemony and Jungle but I don’t think they shine 1v1 against anyone. Your point is well taken.

Dave_Perkins · 2014-05-30T06:32:31.000Z

I really thought I was onto something at the start of that Vegas v. DDM game. But you were patient, jay, and suddenly a tie game was a rout with two rounds left.

I was definitely not trying to say that your win is lessened in any way, Jay! I just like discussing Vegas. I like to put faith in the designers and testers, and I always want to see Vegas do well. Is there a strategy that we are missing? Could a better player use vegas in a way we just can’t?

This army is consistently one of the lowest ranked… How did Vegas get through testing if it was too weak? Was it just meant to be an army used in group games?

'Cause it is fun to screw with multiplayer opponents?

Vegas can struggle in multi-player games too. Much like Jungle, they are susceptible to death through crowding. If you had to rank NSX armies by power in one on one, what would your list be?

My weak link list from most feeble (Dancer omitted):

Vegas
Jungle
Outpost
Borgo
Hegemony

Does Big Daddy’s Creations collect multiplayer match results? It would be interesting to see the data.

I think Vegas and Jungle would benefit a lot from the optional rule where you draw 6 tiles instead of 3 (It’ll probably improve the game in general as well.) Though I think they’d still fare worse on average than any of the other factions.

Has anyone ever manage to reduce an enemy HQ to 0 using Vegas? I’m not sure I’ve gotten anyone under 10.

PAL_1 · 2014-05-30T18:18:24.000Z

MP7 PAL (Jungle) > Joe Bolt (Outpost), 18-14

jaygittings · 2014-05-30T18:54:54.000Z

I like all the other factions one on one except for Vegas and Jungle. I’m not sure what they were intending with those, but it is telling to me that they came out together in a single expansion, right?

MP7 results. Jay > Dirk 20-4. The game showed as finished without giving me the final battle, so not sure if it ended in a different score. Dirk, did you get an end screen?

Dirklectisch · 2014-05-31T06:17:45.000Z

jaygittings:

Dirk, did you get an end screen?

I think I did. If I remember correctly the game ended with you destroying my HQ. 20-0. I didn’t stand a chance. :-)

jaygittings · 2014-05-31T06:51:31.000Z

Thanks for sticking it out. I knew it must have been ugly on your end.

clyve · 2014-06-01T06:50:19.000Z

I think I have a bottom 3.

Outpost = jungle > Vegas

Vegas isn’t meant to be an army’s that smashes an HQ to 0 though. It’s meant to be a conservative army that waits for its moment to sneak on damage in and then it cowers away. All it takes to win is one point after all!

clyve · 2014-06-01T10:40:37.000Z

I asked the dev’s if they keep track of win stats online and they said no, not in the current version. Maybe this is something being added in the new app?

Dave_Perkins · 2014-06-01T14:58:44.000Z

at > dirk as Vegas vs Borgo… 17-16! So tense.

Dave_Perkins · 2014-06-01T16:22:29.000Z

at > dann as Vegas vs New York. Also super competitive.

Sotnik · 2014-06-01T16:53:51.000Z

You were born for Vegas, Dave! ;-)

clyve · 2014-06-01T18:31:39.000Z

Wow good Vegas’n Dave!
