Done!

That's true for players without a subscription, IIRC. It matches the previous "Wait for expansions" method, where you also couldn't force a match with a player with a Gold subscription, only with some subscription (Silver or Gold). Level 5 is what the Core subscription now gives.

Yes, unfortunately Coffers and Fortune together can make Lord Rat get stuck  :-[

That problem has come up when all or almost all cards have been preselected. It's a bug, but unfortunately it's unclear what the cause is and when exactly it happens.  :(

In this case the reason is a bug that makes the client not recognize that Wizards contain a Liaison, so it doesn't complain when you leave no room for an Ally. Then the server complains with that cryptic message. This problem is fixed in a playtest version, but for now you have to add a slot that may contain an Ally.

Lord Rat is known to do many stupid things, from time to time and sometime often. Getting stuck in a "don't do anything" loop with trashers like Chapel is one of those things.

Thanks for posting my discord comment here, which I should have done myself, but simply forgot. :-[

There was a general inability to login for everybody yesterday for 2-3 hours. Sorry I did not respond earlier.

Again, sorry for not responding in time  :( The problem was a server that somehow got flooded with traffic for a short amount of time and needed to be restarted.

Sorry, for not responding sooner, the problem was solved by the Developer less than 10 minutes after the posting. Some server had to be restarted.

I don't think this is possible. The "premove" feature AFAIK is just waiting for "clicks" to be asked for, which it then can satisfy. In order for multiple buys leading to the correct autoplay of all necessary Tresures, that premove information had to be actively transmitted to the server to be taken into account. From my understanding, the server is totally unaware of that feature.

It's a good idea, though. If that feature is worked on again, it might be a good idea to think about.

Yes, you are totally right, deciding about a Way comes later!

Done!

[after you draw the 3 cards]

Thanks for the report, timosoren.

I looked at your recent game with those cards, which I assume you are referring to. Each time you played Swashbuckler with City-State, you had cards in the discard pile, true. But you also had less than 3 cards in your deck each time.

That means that when Swashbuckler actually checked if you have cards in the discard pile, which is after you draw the 3 cards it gives you, it found none, as you had to shuffle your discard pile into your deck to allow you to draw 3 cards!

That's why you didn't get a Coffers.

Also, it drew the 3 cards each time I replayed the situation. Now, considering that you were playing it each time from buying Swashbuckler, there is not much you could do with the drawn cards afterwards. You had no extra buy and could not play any more Treasure cards (which you cannot do without explicte effect after buying things).

So the next thing the game did after drawing the 3 cards was discarding your hand in Clean-up and drawing your next hand. The act of drawing 3 cards for Swashbuckler, then discarding all + drawing 5 cards for the new hand was clearly recognizable at "normal" animation speed, but when I tried the fastest animation setting, it all went by in an instant.

So depending on your animation setting you may not have been able to actually witness the drawing of the 3 cards as separate action.

Yes, for whatever reasons there is only one message sent for both cards, which is confusing. I think at one point in development they had similar effects, but when that changed, the message wasn't split.

Yes, this has been noted by others, the problem affects everybody. Any rated games are not lost, their result will just be applied later (hopfefully at the latest tomorrow).
