Without dom, players in clearly unwinnable positions have no incentive to flag. This leads to what I call Black Knighting - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Knight_(Monty_Python) for those who need to watch more movies.
Basically, you set yourself up somewhere on the map with an isthmus. You then drag the game out pointlessly, pissing everyone off and wasting their time. Since you're not losing dom points, there's no reason to give up. So if someone wants to be a jackass, they can. |

at 5:24 AM, Sunday November 2, 2008 EST It's exactly like dice wars, so it's pointless. I can go to dice wars and play like that against bot. Idea of kdice is to play against people with fear, greed, calculation, diplomacy. Now it's lame and boring without dom.

at 9:53 AM, Wednesday November 5, 2008 EST I agree. Also I like to point out that their is no way to score really big by beieng really dominant. Just make sure you stay the strongest, get the most dice every turn and your golden.
The way the game is set up now, you just count the dice, make the best move possible (useally 1 or 2 options) and hope for the best. Boring game... |
