You can play 1 game at most. Indeed the only way "to get rid of the reconnect" is by some form of resigning.

(exceptions are when you have multiple accounts, or right after a release. Then you can have a game on the old version and another one on the new)

  • charm gain is now optional
interface fixes:

  • events/landmarks are removed from the name a card list
  • player ordering fixed when not enough players
reload game fixes:

  • you can reload some games that gave 'internal error'
  • reloading with decision 0 should get you to the start of the game, and the last decision is the one before the end

  • selecting 10 kingdom cards and some events/landmarks should work again
  • selecting bane, then removing young witch no longer gives you an 11 card kingdom

I and several family members had paid accounts before transition and none of us got the welcome email to setup or new logins correctly. Please help by pm. I will not publicly post the emails.

This is surprising... the email you used to register at the forum here did receive a transition email, and also used it on Jan. 2nd.

Regardless, you were interested in more accounts, and if you PM me some personal info (like username, email) I will look them up for you.

Hi Stef, I tried loading the old game as you suggested to take a crack at the puzzle but it will only load to decision 265 and immediately takes me to a win screen, which seems to be random. Can you provide any assistance as to how to make sure I'm "taking over Marins perspective" and any feedback on why it's not letting me start at an earlier point in the game?

Decision 265 is indeed the end of that game, so you'll go straight to the end screen (this behaviour will change in tonight's release).

After selecting the game, you have to change the decision to 207. Sorry it's a bit awkward, but you have to type in the game number again and 207, then hit 'load game'.

Card Bugs / Re: Outpost in Possession turn

When I play Outpost in the first turn I possessed, I take an extra turn. That's ok. The problem is...

I cannot take a regular turn directly after that turn, in which I played a Possession.
I can take another extra turn when I play Outpost in the regular turn, which is after the extra turn I took because of the Outpost during the possessed turn.

Hi Majiponi,

Sorry, possibly I don't understand what you're saying.
But the rule is "extra turns always go first; only when there are no extra turns left we go back to regular turns".

I don't know if that is new information for you, or if there is still a bug.
Can you please add a game number so I can reload that game?
#548
oops, sorry. I assumed it would be fixed now that BoM actually renames, but the problem here is that in my implementation of Treasure map checks for the two names after the trashing happens.

Reading the card I would actually think that's correct but apparently Donald ruled otherwise so I'll just add some code that makes it remember its name before trashing.

Other Bugs / Re: Load Log "Internal Error"

it does not depend on the creation date, but on the kingdom. The deserialization of some games fails, sorry. Will be fixed in the next release.

I have this problem too and its very annoying. I've even selected Prosperity cards to be in the kingdom, and Platinums/Colonies don't show. What gives?
:(

In the kingdom selector there is a field "Colonies: ???". Those question marks are either Yes, No or Random.

If you set it to random, it will first generate your kingdom, then take a random card from your kingdom, and use Colonies if this random card was from Prosperity. If you set it to yes or no, you will just end up with/without colonies regardless of the rest of the kingdom.

Thanks for the update! I especially appreciate the "it isn't very user friendly yet" part so that we know it's still definitely a work-in-progress.

I'll try out that Marin turn, but didn't you say in Discord that the turn lasted a half hour or something?

Yes it's a very complicated puzzle. Yesterday we failed (which is why the solution isn't in the log you're loading, even if you use a decision number >207) and today it took me another half an hour of puzzling before finding a winning line. Certainly don't go for this one if you're looking for an easy puzzle. Hopefully other people can start posting some puzzles too now.

ok, I googled it for you and it depends on the browser you're using. Assuming it's safari:

can you try just reloading the page? (forget about the ctrl)

In most browsers, ctrl-reload forces your cache to clear.

Version 1.1.0
new feature: load old game. More about this feature here.

new button: add bot
Bots are no longer automatically added to tables. It caused too many misclicks/confusion.

card fixes:

  • BoM/overlord now copies name and types correctly
  • if BoM/overlord is already not-in-play, it allows you to play it as a card without becoming that card
  • mining village when already trashed no longer freezes
  • engineer when already trashed no longer asks
  • vault on empty hand
  • golem into envoy+something, choose envoy first (used to freeze game)
  • mystic shuffle/guess order
  • taxman gain/discard order
  • inn on-gain decisions when not gained by active player
  • conspirator used to count opponents caravan guard
(this should fix all known BoM/overlord issues, except for Overlord-as-BoM, which is still bugged)

interface fixes:

  • Added text input field to name any card.
  • Fixed a race condition that caused the endgame screen to sometimes not load and the /bg chat command to sometimes not work.
  • Update trash view when its content changes while it's open.
  • First player table rule is replaced by player order.
  • Show backs on opponent's Native Village mat.
  • Hide trash when viewing player zones.
  • Private reveal windows during opponent turns now show card backs.
  • Show advanced table options after rule change when host returns from switching tabs.
  • Kick options are now always visible on the login page.
  • Max event/landmark table rule adapts itself to the required cards.
  • Setting min events/landmarks greater than max automatically adjusts the max.
  • Small fixes to Russian.
  • Small fixes to card texts.

kingdom generator fix:
The kingdom generator used to pick a random number between MIN_LANDMARKS_OR_EVENTS and MAX_LANDMARKS_OR_EVENTS, and then try to generate a kingdom accordingly. This was mostly bad for people owning only base set + Summon, which appeared much more frequent then it should.
Now changed to the default dominion rules (shuffle all the randomizer cards), but if MAX_LANDMARKS_OR_EVENTS is reached skip further landmarks and events, and if the process ends with less then MIN_LANDMARKS_OR_EVENTS it will add some more.

General Discussion / Reloading an old game
10 February 2017, 05:57:44 PM
Since version 1.1.0 it's possible to load an old game. This feature is very much still under development, but this initial version is too convenient for finding/fixing other bugs not to release it.

The idea is that you can now specify an old game number and a decision number on a table. After doing so you can select a player order, which will determine who (on the new table) becomes whom (in the old game you're reloading).

The feature isn't very user friendly yet. You could wonder how on earth you're supposed to know your old game numbers, and how are you supposed to guess the decision number you're interested in. Those would be very legitimate concerns, and will be addressed in later releases. At some point you will be able to specify these 'reload-instructions' from an URL, and you will be able to generate that URL by some special click in a game log.

There is still a fundamental problem with this feature I haven't really been able to solve yet. It allows you to reload a game that was generated by the current server version just fine, but if you want to reload a game from an older version all bets are off. It may very well work, but could also be broken. Hypothetically speaking - Suppose that old server version contained some card bug (Smithy was drawing only 2 cards) that has been fixed on the new version. Reloading that game on the new server will fail very shortly after the first Smithy play.


For now, I hope this will help us solve card bugs more easily (so please do include a game number on all bug reports) and it's great fun for puzzling too.

Here is a very nice one to start from a game Marin and I were playing yesterday: game 1105805, decision 207. Add a bot, make sure you're taking over Marins perspective. The goal is to win this turn, because it's very unlikely you'll get another turn.
