Thanks and constructive criticism

Post by Tekkentroop »

Hello, I love White Castle and the app is well done.

The only thing I think that could be improved is making it a bit leaner so you need fewer clicks when collecting resources. In my opinion you should only need to click when actually choosing resources. Otherwise resources should be collected automatically after choosing an action.

This could lead to losing Daimyo Seals from overflow in rare cases, but I think its worth it from a perspective of smooth play.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks!

The reason those are not automated is that all actions can be performed in any order or skipped. Normally you would always take all 'green' button actions so just hit the 'Resolve all' button. I've already greatly reduced the number of clicks needed, so I probably won't be making further changes in this regard.

It's not in my hands now. The game needs to be scheduled on the (packed) release calendar, this is decided by the BGA team.

Counts points incorrectly at the end of the game.
My summary for end game:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZUpEAQ ... sp=sharing
Player jessbrox have 5 courtier and 2 warriors.
2x5=10, not 20.
We can see in the summary that he incorrectly received 20 points.
I (Tajemny) have 2 courtier so I should get 2x2x3+2x3=18
So for me the calculation was correct
For some reason it doubles those points, making it the most profitable strategy to put courtiers in the castle (because you get points for the palace and double the points for each courtier in the palace from the warriors)

Warriors in the 5 cost spot award 2 points per courtier, so scoring is correct. Use the same formula you used for your points to calculate jessbrox's points lol.

Rules check.
I thought that at the end of the round, while getting the bridges bonus, when the bonus is: send the gardener to the bridge bonus field, You get the reward once or twice. Twice in case there is a dice on the bridge. But the implementation on BGA does not work this way. It gives only bonus for placing ignoring the end-of-round bonus for dice left on the bridge. Was that intentional? Am I mistaken understanding the rules?

Not sure what your trying to bring across. But you can get a Gardencard bonus 3 times in total:
- once when placing the Gardener
- once at the end of the 1st round
- once at the end of the 2nd round

I mean this special situation that You get the specific bonus of placing the gardener at the end round situation. Do You are placing it. And id you've placed another gardener that is eligible for the bonus, You should get it twice. As You decide about the order You receive the bonuses. Do You might choose the bonus of placing the gardener and than get the same bonus just because at the end of the round there is a dice on the bridge. It does not work that way nie.

Sorry for the dictionary mistakes. If the bonus is: "pay 3 coins to Play another gardener" this implementation gives You the bonus once. Omitting the bonus for the Dice presence. Just the placement bonus.
