[1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots]

1. An offline client, allowing you to play campaigns against bots
Campaign mode seems nice, I don't care if I have to be online to play them.

2. A bot with a setting for different play styles
I don't care a lot about that if the bot is just strong enough

3. A strong bot.
It would be nice to have a bot that is a little bit more of a challenge to beat.

4. Options for timed games
Blitz was a lot of fun in the Making More Fun mod. I don't think it should be a top priority, though.

5. Options for undo settings
There should be a table option to always grant undo without extra information which should always be active by default.
Maybe there should be a button which does the same like typing "/undo" since many people don't know about it, probably.

6. Online mini-tournaments; the option to easily create one for you & your friends.
I fail to see the benefits of this feature.

7. Option to invite specific players to your table
This seems like an important thing that is missing, aside from the ability to send text messages to other players

8. More translations (to what language?)
Not important to me

9. Better animations when cards are gained/bought/played/...
Not important to me

10a. Better visualization of split piles, Archive/Crypt contents, Prince targets, ...
Split piles: I would have really needed that when Empires came out. I guess it's still really important to be able to see the cards from the bottom half.
Archive/Crypt: I'd also like to be able to check what's in my Crypts
Prince: I wasn't aware you're not able to see which card is princed. I never missed this feature.

10b. Option to hide the log
I'd never hide the log

11. Android app (or just improved compatibility?)
Not important to me

12. iPhone app (or just improved compatibility?)
Not important to me

13. Downloadable game logs
This is what I'm missing the most at the moment

14. Improved moderation (dealing with chat abuse, slowplayers, ...)
This seems fine to me

15. Tutorial on how to play Dominion
Not important to me, but probably something that should be available

[What it's about:]

What it's about:
The Dominion League is probably the most long-living Dominion online tournament. The first season started three years ago and the League hasn't stopped since. We're going into season 23 at the end of July. You can join and leave after each season of 6 weeks. Everyone is welcome, players at all levels play in the League. You're going to play nice opponents from all around the world. The League is a great place if you enjoy competitive playing or want to dive deeper into Dominion and develop your own play! We're running it as our own hobby, so playing in the League is totally free. You don't even need to own cards on the online client.

Where to find it:
Since the League is older that the Shuffle IT client, we're running it on the Dominion Strategy Forum, where you also find futher information and rules. So you need to sign up there, first, to join the League.
Once you're signed up, you're being put into a division according to your rating on the Dominion Online client. Each division (A,B,C,D,E) consists of one or more groups of 5 or 6 players. You're playing matches of 6 games against each other player in your group. After each season, the best of each group promote to the next-higher division, while the worst have to go down to the next-lower division.
At the end of each season, the top two players of division A play a grand final which is usually streamed and commentated on Twitch by other players of the community.

I'm happy to see you all soon in the Dominion League! :)

[die Karte]

Changed to:

"darfst die Karte auf den Nachziehstapel legen"

which sounds nice enough to me if the card itself is named in the line above.
With a bit more effort we could probably get the card name itself again, but I'd prefer it this way.

[Nimm Dir 2 Beuten vom Beute-Stapel]

Raubzug (Pillage) - Nimm Dir 2 Beuten vom Beute-Stapel – Nimm dir 2 Karten vom Beute-Stapel (Plural von Beute existiert nicht im Deutschen)

Yes it sounds strange, but there is a plural: http://www.duden.de/rechtschreibung/Beute_Anteil_Opfer
tufftaeh corrected me about this in the first place ;)


Thanks checking all the card texts.

The main language of the forum is English. It could be considered rude to have a thread in German. Maybe it would be okay in this case, though...

I think I had already fixed many of the card names in the log where the card names are plural, but Rats was one I missed, so I fixed that among with the card text.

"Schleicher" was my first attempt at translating the card before I had the original name. Apparently I didn't check all occurrences.

The current release should solve all issues noted except for the Wolf Den one.

However, I think we fixed (hopefully all, at least most of) the "dem" vs "den" things, and even that:



;)

The problem I noticed was not in a log sentence but in the end game screen, where the VP details are shown. It was for some landmark that counted some cards, I forgot which one (Mea Culpa :-[), where I encounterd "einen Weinhändler", which, in that place, should have been nominative.

It happens when you play Wolf Den / Wolfsbau... I now made this a complete sentence instead of just listing the cards...

I got it wrong when I explained it - it only occurs when you move stuff from (from and with are good indicator for "Dativ", apparently) to something I think. (I'm a very heavy post re-editor ;))

[If I'm wrong about that, please let me know!]

We're working on the different grammatical cases. These differences for the definite and indefinite articles don't appear in English (where it's just always "a" or "the") and apparently neither in Russian. This is something that is not simply fixed by translating the words, something about the ways some small localized text blocks are used needs to get adjusted for it to work.

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, or like VPs that are put on a Landmark. Usually constructions that look like . It usually involves that you put something from place A to place B.
Blabla legt 2 Siegpunkte von dem X-Stapel auf den Y-Stapel.

I happened to work around the first sentence that appears in the game where it says "Spieler beginnt mit..." by adding "folgenden Karten:" so I don't need the dative form for the articles of the cards there, but I didn't find a similar solution for the pile or event thing.

We never have nominative case since that would mean the card/event would be the subject which never happens in any occasion I've noticed. The subject, as far as I've seen, is always the player. We don't use genitive at all as far as I've seen.

Luckily, the only actual occasions where we need the article for the dative case is the one I said before, everywhere else it's accusative. That said, we only need to differ betweem "dem" and "den" because the articles always refer to a pile (Stapel). If I'm wrong about that, please let me know!


As said, we're already on it and hopefully many occasions are fixed with the next release(s).

Unfortunately, the pile thing will be a bit harder to fix. :(



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

I kind of disagree with that one. The problem is "Nimm Kupfer" could suggest that you actually "gain" it. (That gain->nehmen translation of the original German translators is so terrible) Also the card text says that you reveal the copper and then put it into your hand, so I think "Decke Kupfer auf" is an all right compromise.
