Default Dominions and Real Life

"Do you think playing games is a life?"
"Dont you think living life is a game?
And by the way, Im winning"
These are things that I learned in Dominions which have also
found useful in lifes game.

There is no "always wins for everyone" strategy.
Find what closely matches your playing style, then you will win

Cheap isnt automatically better
Expensive isnt automatically better

Dont entrust the whole game to one Super-Combatant

Believe in the tactic you are doing but never stop researching

saying "my way is best" tends to be worthless
BEFORE you kick their ***

Of course you have found the perfect winning combination.
But keep in mind that they have also, and theirs is different.

And finally:
"Do not go quietly into the night
rage rage rage against the dying of the light - Dylan Thomas"
What does that mean? It means dont be a putz
and quit the game before all of your candles are snuffed.

Anyone have any more?

Even though we're running the same computer program, it doesn't mean we're playing the same game.
