When Territory Wars debuted 6 years ago today, it was seen as an exciting new game mode, where your guild came together to slug it out against another. It was challenging, it was demanding, and the players overall looked forward to the slugfest. Now, six years later, this event has become, well, uneventful. Not seeing the signup on the main screen (because too much else is going on), game…
As we close out the 2023 calendar year with a wonderful onslaught of new characters and features…well, we know we want more of course. Eventually every character save for Galactic Legends (don’t you dare do it CG) are likely to get an update-here are five that deserve it in the coming new year: #5) Darth Sion (Territory War) One of the Sith Triumvirate, Sion was literally etched into Star Wars…
It’s been a while, folks. Almost two years, in fact, since my last scribble on this game we all love to hate-and what a journey it’s been. Two new galactic legends, a slew of updates (they FINALLY gave us fleet loadouts!) and at least 3 CW Chewie shards between them and now. As someone who was deeply passionate about theory crafting, but preferred the medium of script as opposed to forcing…
A brief interlude to talk about Oathbreaker! I chose to go the route of poison in order to speed games along even if it means being a soft archenemy. Also fits the name of the format, as Ajani broke his oath. Have you tried this format with your playgroup/LGS?
Considering the result is this:
That sharp drop is this morning (11-14) as a result of the stock being graded from buy to underperforming or whatever the word is. The concern for traders is that Hasbro is seeking short term profit by squeezing current players for more rather than focusing on long term growth and bringing more players into the game. Essentially the worry is that they’re creating a sort of bubble and it’s going to burst.
I wonder if this valuation is enough to influence the product strategy of Hasbro. That’s a pretty significant financial impact and they can’t really ignore it.
Went to Commandfest Bellevue this weekend and had such an amazing time! Met and made some new friends, bumped into some content creators who were kind enough to stop and chat for a few minutes, and played some amazing games. Next year I’m totally going for the full weekend!!
Wow.
Nine years ago I was a broke college student who loved playing Magic, stuck at home due to stacking Nor’easters, and a passion for writing. I began a blog on tumblr dedicated to playing the EDH/Commander format on a budget, which grew to a point where we had a team of bloggers/writers working under this name/umbrella.
As the years went on, we all drifted apart as life demanded our attention, and the blog quietly slipped into the background. I began writing again within the last several years on different sites, mostly about the SWGOH mobile game, but at the core of this name-Commander and Dollar-lies the heart of a gamer who just wanted to have fun without emptying their pockets. A happy 9 years to the CommanDollar name, and the team that truly was a dream come true! #edh #commander #commandollar #mtg #magicthegathering #tumblr #budget #swgoh #starwars #galaxyofheroes #mobilegames #mobilegaming #gamingfans #wordpress
Dear CG: Bring KOTOR2 to SWGOH
Starkiller was a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one. While originally indifferent, after some serious thought I believe he was the greatest addition Capital Games made in 2021. Despite the fact that it was an end-of-quarter cash grab, it opened up a whole new avenue for SWGOH players to hope for. Officially, the bulk of content created under the Star Wars umbrella was deemed non-canon by…
5 Places We Don’t Want Omicrons
Omicrons have dramatically changed how we play Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. The few select characters who have been imbued with such tide-altering power are ritualistically checked during each Grand Arena and Territory War-especially considering the most omicron’d character in each aforementioned game mode has more than the entirety of the remaining mode (Territory Battles). Clearly their…
3 Updates CG Should Consider
While many people are raving about some kind of major sport event, I figured it would be another great day to talk shop! After playing this game for over 5 years, and being an avid fan of all things Star Wars, let’s delve into some quick ideas CG should have on their table. **WARNING: some articles have been labeled as “clickbait” by various individuals who do not read** #3: Give more characters…
*WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD* Ignore all the complaining “fans”-The Book of Boba Fett is amazing. Boba Fett has long been a character surrounded by intrigue, mystery, and sheer badassery, and the new series slowly peels back layers-even if changed and designed by The Mouse®. Since CG is tied to the content produced, it’s only fair to assume and expect a Galactic Legend before the end of the series.…
Lord Vader is old news. Onto the next! *WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD* With The Book of Boba Fett blowing away fans, every Galaxy of Heroes player is hoping to get some new characters added to the mix. From the appearances of all the trailers thus far, it will be heavily based around Boba rebuilding Jabba’s old enterprise, meaning scoundrels will be at the forefront of this series. On the flip side,…
5 (More) Omicrons to Expect in 2022
There is little doubt in my mind that Omicrons will be the standard going into next year. Zetas in themselves are overly powerful, if only because it doesn’t matter which game mode you are in to utilize their bonuses. I’m sure several of the higher-ups at Capital Games would have loved to come up with Omicrons first and zetas second, but here we are. The most we can do is make the best of it-and…
What’s a creature type that should have its own tribal-based commander, but doesn’t? I’ll go first:
Skeleton.
