A very strange situation arose in a custom, unranked game between me and my husband. We were playing with Divine Wind. After the Divine Wind triggered, Plateau Shepherds was added to the kingdom due to an ally being randomly chosen for the new kingdom. This seemed fine until we noticed at the end of the game that Plateau Shepherds gave him -2 victory points. This seems like a bug, as I am not aware of any reason that it would be possible for Plateau Shepherds to generate negative victory points. At worst, it should provide zero VP.
The game was #184293435. (https://i.imgur.com/mxDQl6W.png)
Thanks for the report, Emperor Bensonius. That is indeed a bug, Plateau Shepherds cannot give negative ammount of VP.
The culprit is most likely Divine Wind not causing the 'incoming' Plateau Shephereds to take stock of the $2 cards each player has at that point in time.
Notice that you also got robbed of 2 VP: You had 1 Estate in your deck and 1 Favor at game end, which should have given you 2 VP from Plateau Shepherds.
I'll forward this to the devs.
Great, thank you! I realize this an extremely rare circumstance, so it's understandable that it would be bugged without anyone having noticed before.
Divine Wind, in addition to needing to clarify how several cards exactly work now for IRL play, also caused problems for the bookkeeping on dominion.games, because several things need to be setup for cards like Plateau Shephereds an that was apparently not done.
