Apologies if this post is redundant.

Is there any way to "pre-pass," so that we do not need to manually pass when asked whether we want to do the secondary of a strat card?

In async games, there is usually a "not following" option.

No, but that is on my list to do.

I need to figure out where to put it. E.g. a dialog with all strategy cards listed so you can quickly press buttons? Or, just a button on the tooltip so you have to click each strategy card you want to skip.

Is there a way to get player colors to follow the recommended colors for each faction?

As far as I can tell, those aren't recommended colors, they are just a list someone made in a fan wiki.

I would say the answer is generally no for a few reasons:

1. It would be against BGA policy, since BGA tries to assign colors based on premium player preferences, and this would remove a paid premium benefit.
2. They are unofficial, as mentioned above.
3. They would not be accessible (color-blind friendly).


As a side note, in the physical game, different factions on physical components have specific colors of text e.g. on the flagship area or unit upgrade cards, but these are also not unique, e.g. Letnev / N'orr / Nekro all using red text.

That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for the clear explanation.

Small heads up, this morning the Studio environment stopped loading tables at all for me. This happens even in a non-TI4 game, in multiple browsers, and multiple physical networks, so I'm assuming it's some sort of regional content server issue.

This means I will probably need to wait until next week to resume deploying bug fixes. if anyone has a game become stuck, please be patient and I will try to fix it once I am able to use the dev environment again.

Please PM me the details, and I will try to fix it once the BGA dev tools load for me, which will probably be Monday.

Hello, playing my first games and I'm very impressed with the implementation!
Just one question regarding Trade Agreement, in game 785544943 I exchanged this promissory note with another player, he did the Trade strategic action and let me refill commodities. He got my commodities and I got my note back, but I did not receive his commodities and still has his note. I don't think there was any promt asking me to use the note. Is there anything I have to do to trigger it? What does pressing the bell icons on the promissory notes do?

Hello, the bell icon on action cards and promissory notes control whether the game will wake you up to play that card. By default this is turned on, and if you click on a card with a bell icon, the tooltip should have text that says you will wake up.

If you have Public Disgrace, for example, and do not want to keep waking up early game, you can turn that card's bell off for a while, then turn it back on later.


If you did not get prompted to use the promissory note, the alert bell might be turned off for your card.
