200? So you played about 5+ games at a time, and that for almost a year? You, man, have my highest respect.
So to you Subterfuge veterans: I recently started playing this game and it pretty amazing, but does it get boring at some point? When you learned all the game mechanics, optimized your strategies and found out all those tactical combinations, is there still reason to stick with this game?
I'm asking because I have played many strategy games and most of them lose their strategic factor at some point. After a certain amound of games the players will find the optimal strategies and use them over and over again. Once everyone uses this meta it just comes down to luck, the game becomes repetitive and boring.
I sincerely hope that this is not the case with subterfuge, but I noticed that i.e. hiring certain specialists (hypnotist, smuggler, navigator) in every single game is almost a necessity if you want to win.
That is why I wanted to ask: Does this game have enough diversity to remain interesting even after 50+ games?
I've only played this game casually yet, but if it really is as great of a strategy game as it seems, I might want to start investing some time into it.
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away.”
