Combat Dial Pop-Up

Post by halciber »

Hello,

Question about the Combat Dial Pop-up when combat is initiated. Is it possible to close the Combat Dial, review my faction's information (on the main screen), and then return the Combat Dial a moment later? I'd like to see how much Power and which combat cards are available before deciding how much power and combat cards to use.

Alternatively, a nice feature that would be helpful on this pop-up screen is to have this information available right there. Then we wouldn't need to come in and out of the Combat Dial screen.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, it is possible to close the dial to review the game state and then return to the dial. The is an X in the pop up window to close it, and then a button at the top to return to it.

I have found the combat frustratingly confusing because I can't tell it's ALSO asking me to pick a combat card at the same time. We're playing a game with new players and so far *everyone* has missed that they need to do this at the same time. Could it "please" confirm that you have selected a total of X power from your combat dial and cards before continuing, to make sure the player did realize they were supposed to pick a card at the same time to add? It's so frustrating when you would have won the combat if not for the lack of confirmation that you have made the choices you wanted to make.

Sounds like a separate issue to the one posted above, but perhaps I've misunderstood. Are players not seeing the combat window where they are presented with a dial and their combat cards? Are they not seeing the confirmation button at the bottom of that window? Or are they expecting that there will be a second window with the dial and combat cards again?

This is odd. I found the combat popup to be clear.

Thank you poserLX. I didn't realize this feature was available when I made my post. Thanks for your help.
