Hi,

just I small one: If I get an outpostturn, the log says "[Outpost]" at the beginning of the turn, even in the german translation.

Greetings,

1) I should be able to play against more than one AI opponent at a time. If there's a way to do this, it's not obvious, and it should be. Don't tell me the point is to play other humans. Screw that. I can do that at home with my actual friends. Online, I like to play quick games to kill time during lunch at work and I have no patience for playing against an opponent who disappears for five minutes mid-game (and yes, that's happened more than once).

If you choose a matching, you always play against one bot. But you can create a table and add as many bots you want.

5) A card like Pearl Diver gives me one option: Topdeck. Where is the Bottomdeck option? If it's there, it's again not clear. Why would that be hidden? (I know; you're supposed to ignore it and click the next card, but BAD UX. Cripes. These people wouldn't last ten minutes at the Google.)

Well, I like it that I just can play the next card. And the wording of the card does in fact not give you a "Bottomdeck-option". You may topdeck it, or you just dont.

6) What is the point of the cards sliding up and down the screen when it's the other players' turns? Are there any other games that do this? Is there maybe a reason why is isn't a common design choice?

You can disable it. I like it. You did not tell us why you dislike it.

7) I should be able to turn off the card sequence crap on the right. Sheesh, it looks like an IRC channel from 1995.

At the moment, the log is neccesary, because not all playoptions are available without it. I guess that will change in the future.

8) All the card piles should be the same size, and the coin/VP stacks should be somewhere more central than the northwest corner.

I think it's fine. The VP/Money cards are always the same, the others seem more central to me.

9) The background screens are ridiculous. They remind me of the DOS Tetris game I had as a kid, only that was some kind of a Russian circus. It doesn't make it look hi-tech; it makes it look cheesy.

You may change them by /bg x or even choose your favourite background in the settings.

I have a similar problem, happening now the second time in a row in a game against Lord Rat.
I buy the last provinces, end my turn end the game wont end. But its not a freeze, I can still rightclick cards
The log says

t plays a Plunder
t gets 1 VP.
t plays 4 Golds and a Fortune.
t buys and gains a Duchy and 3 Provinces.

after reloading the page, there is also

t shuffles their deck.
t draws a Gold, a Poacher, 2 Hamlets and a Wandering Minstrel.
Reshuffling the Black Market deck.
Waiting for trazoM.

if i try an "/undo 1", I get a neverending "Pending undo request..."

For me, it's not a triangle but a rhomb.

I clicked it anyway after 2 seconds.

Had the same bug in my games with inheritance.
In #2587927, I bought inheritance, but later on, the Estates changed from correctly showing Highway to showing a blank card.
In the next game (#2588038), after 5 turns, estates changed to blank without buying inheritance. The four previous turns, estates were displyed correctly. €dit: Estates were displayed incorrectly till turn 12, when I bought inheritance.

"Decke Kupfer auf" when playing settlers should be "Nehme Kupfer" oder "Nehme ein Kupfer".

Nimm. Nimm!

Well, are all buttons imperative? I thought of it as a description what it do, so "Nehme Kupfer" would be appropriate. At least that is, what I tell real players if I do something.
Probably you are right.

"Decke Kupfer auf" when playing settlers should be "Nehme Kupfer" oder "Nehme ein Kupfer".

Hi, in my game #1355431 on oregon, I ambassadored an Inn to Lord Rattington.
So he gained the Inn and should be able to shuffle cards back to his deck.
Lord Rat looked at the cards, but did not do anything.
However, I got the option to "Done selecting".
I dont know if this is a Lord Rat-related thing, but nevertheless, I should not get that option.

In the meantime, you could try to use brepperts tool: http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=16837.0

Probably your problem is the "familar-cards"-feature. See the unofficial FAQ for this (manual).

This is known.

Hm, I guess I saw it twice in like 40 games.

Other edge case: you want to lower the cost of Peddlers by 2. I guess you have to play it as a action to do that.

The player can rejoin the table after leaving, continuing the game.
If a player stays inactive for a certain time* you are able to make him resign.
*it was 5 minutes once. There should be a thread about it somewhere...

You can create a table with minimal number of players >= 2 and just start the game. Then you play against Sir Rattington (and his friends).
