Actually I have never seen any instance where we need the article for the nominative case (Nominativ), only dative (Dativ) and accusative (Akkusativ), where the last one is certainly most common.

Mostly we have stuff like Blabla spielt/kauft/nimmt ein Blubb .

The dative cases include entries where you put something on supply piles like Embargo, or like VPs that are put on a Landmark. Usually constructions that look like
Blabla legt X auf den Y-Stapel.

I agree with almost everything that you said. However, the thing about dative strikes me odd. Maybe it's too early for me right now, but all your examples seem to be accusative instead of dative.
With Embargo, I place "einen Fluch-Marker" (wen oder was?).
With VP tokens, I also place some marker (wen oder was).
When "Blabla legt X auf den Y-Stapel. " the question is also (wen oder was legt X auf wen oder was?), so in my opinion both are accusative as well. With dative you'd be asking (wem?), which seems to be wrong.

I'm not convinced by something that might come someday.

Long story short: I lost something I planned to play forever and received something I did not want to play at all and that for a short amount of time. Well, that was money terribly spent.

I can understand that you're upset. From my personal perspective, the problem is that the old game provider MakingFun promised things they shouldn't have promised, as they couldn't guarantee to provide the game forever.

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

Nimm. Nimm!

I still do have this issue, though. Makes playing quite unpleasant as I have to wait for the client after most of the games to realize they have finished.

This still happens about 50% of the time when playing against bots and more rarely when playing against human opponents.

A remarkable thing is that when I end the game, I get to draw new cards for the next turn and usually also some kind of log message, telling me that I may buy cards.

I've experienced this a couple of times in the last days. At some point in the game, without any  noticable pattern, the client freezes (in Firefox 51.0.1 (32-Bit)). It has happened during my own turn and in my opponent's. When I refresh, I'm taken to the table creation page without any hint about the last game.

This time I've taken the time to just wait and see what happens. After several minutes I was taken to the game result screen, which tells me that I resigned, which I didn't. The game log now shows my opponent's last turn (T12) and also the chat has updated.

When I reloaded the game, I could continue to play with Lord R until the end.


The original game was #2213574 on tokyo. This is very annoying. Could you please investigate what the problem is?

[den/einen]

Wachturm hat den Anschluss an Fluch verloren (es wurde in einen anderen Bereich bewegt).

Should be "Wachturm hat den Anschluss an den/einen Fluch verloren (er wurde in einen anderen Bereich bewegt)." or something similar.

Not in the log, but since is the translation thread..
In the table configuration, the option to load an old game says:

Altes spiel laden

Should be "Altes Spiel laden"

[einen Handlanger]

P spielt ein Handlanger.

Should be "P spielt einen Handlanger."

P kauft eine Queste.

Should be "P kauft eine Quest."

P spielt ein Lakai.

Should be "P spielt einen Lakaien."

[Riesen]

P spielt einen Riese.

Should be "P spielt einen Riesen."

Du start your turn und...

Should be "Du startest deinen Zug und..."

Thanks for the input and the commendation so far.

Trete Spiel #2085283 auf frankfurt bei.

Should be "Tritt Spiel #2085283 auf frankfurt bei." or "Spiel #2085283 auf frankfurt beigetreten."

I kind of disagree here. Maybe the wording is a bit odd, but this refers to the progress of joining, so it's not technically wrong.
But maybe can have something nicer still.

I can see your point here. I think it depends on which singular person is meant:

• 1 person (I): Ich trete
• 3. person (he/she/it): Er/sie/es tritt

For me, it's the 3. person, as the other log entries also refer to the 3. person (Player x buys/gains/trashes/...).

In general, I can only repeat that you've done a really good job with the translations!

[Königliche Münze]

F kauft und nimmt eine Köngigliche Münze.

Should be "Königliche Münze"

P kauft und nimmt ein Weiser.

Should be "P kauft und nimmt einen Weisen."


Rebuild:

Nimm dir eine Punktekarte, die bis zu 8 Geld mehr kostet.

Should be "Nimm dir eine Punktekarte, die bis zu 8 Geld kostet."

P nimmt eine Gärten.

This is difficult, as "Gärten" is already the plural form of "Garten". I'd suggest omitting the article in this case:

"P nimmt Gärten."

[n]

I've taken a close look at the German translation. It seems to be very solid, the translators have been doing a great job!  I really like that articles and even plural forms have been considered and implemented correctly:

L spielt einen Gesandten.
P spielt eine Brücke.
P zieht ein Kupfer, ein Silber, ein Anwesen und 2 Blutzölle.

Really cool! :)



Nevertheless, I've found some small issues in the log:

Es ist deine Kaufphase, du darfst...
• Karten kaufe.

Should be "Karten kaufen"

Trete Spiel #2085283 auf frankfurt bei.

Should be "Tritt Spiel #2085283 auf frankfurt bei." or "Spiel #2085283 auf frankfurt beigetreten."

Between turns

Obviously, the translation is missing here.

P legt eine Beute zurück in dem Beute-Stapel.

Should be "P legt eine Beute zurück in den Beute-Stapel." or "P legt eine Beute zurück auf den Beute-Stapel."

Du nehmen eine Universität
und...
• darf Wachturm aufdecken zum Entsorgen.
• darf Wachturm aufdecken zum auf den Nachziehstapel legen.

Should be
Du nimmst eine Universität
und...
• darfst Wachturm aufdecken zum Entsorgen.
• darfst Wachturm aufdecken zum auf den Nachziehstapel legen.

Horn Of Plenty:

Nimm dir eine Karte, die bis zu 5 Geld kostet. Es eine Punktekarte ist, entsorge diese Karte.

Should be "Nimm dir eine Karte, die bis zu 5 Geld kostet. Wenn es eine Punktekarte ist, entsorge diese Karte."

Joining game #1964942 on frankfurt.

In that game I bought Travelling Fair nine times while also having one Watchtower in hand. Using one's top-deck ability would make the other one lose track of the top-decked card.
The log listed this multiple times, which seems rather weird.

Case #1: Top-deck with Travelling Fair:

Code Select Expand

P buys and gains an Artificer.
P reacts with a Travelling Fair.
P topdecks an Artificer.
Watchtower loses track of Artificer (it moved).
Watchtower loses track of Artificer (it moved).

Case #2: Top-deck with Watchtower:

Code Select Expand

P buys and gains a King's Court.
P reacts with a Watchtower.
P topdecks a King's Court.
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).
Travelling Fair loses track of King's Court (it moved).

I understand why #2 happens, but I don't understand why there are two messages in #1. Apart from that, one message should be enough in both cases.

I'd like to add:

- Inheritance
- A good interface for durations, especially duration attacks

I still do have this issue, though. Makes playing quite unpleasant as I have to wait for the client after most of the games to realize they have finished.
