• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if any.
Right now, it is sometimes unclear why moves that seem legal are actually prevented by events or court cards. this creates confusion for players and more work for the developer.
For example, in a recent game, when taking a "Battle" action I was prevented from removing a spy from an opponent's court card. At first I though this was an error and looked for a similar error report. A player had encountered a similar issue, however, the rules were followed correctly because a court card (Mohan Lal) prevents spies from being removed from a player's court cards by battling. In other words, I was incorrect the game followed the rules correctly.
I suggest that if an event or court card prevents an action that a red banner pop-up or tooltip appears and says why an action is prevented. This might require the UI to give players the option to take a move that will be ultimately prevented. For example, if a player wants to battle to remove a spy from a court card, the player would see the piece be highlighted as if they could battle, but when they attempt to take the action, a banner pops up saying "Mohan Lal - Spies cannot be removed in battle with other spies" or any associated textt from another card that prevents the move.
My suggestion would fix two problems, one for the players and one for the developer. For the players, they know why a move is prevented. It also simulates real life play, where an opposing player will tell you why your clever plan won't work because that opposing player has a card that prevents it. Right now, players get frustrated because they think they should be able to take an action that is actually not allowed. This can be especially frustrating for first-time or inexperienced players.
For the developer this suggestion prevents needless reports down the road that rules are not being followed. I assume repeated reports that rules are being followed.
Really appreciate you considering this request. I do believe it will make things clearer for players, smooth out play, and prevent needless reports down the road. -
