Nations 63789 - Bug Resolving War (confirmed, solved)

[rivaben]

In our current game, I was the only one who should not suffer the war penalty, however, another player hasn't suffered it either.

It seems the system only penalized the ones who were last in the military track...

Not a bug: in 5-player games the 'Most" of everything also includes the second-most (but no more than 2 players can be in Most). And at least 2 players are included in "Last" (but could be more than 2 in case of ties). Rulebook page 21.
Here you can check the red and green borders in the Stability and Military tracks, they indicate Least and Most.

Hey MaBi I understood this most and least concept when it comes to event resolution but does it also apply to WAR? In my view, for War, you always need to be equal or better than the WAR Black Marker, doesn't it make sense?

[MaBi]

Sorry, you are right, I didn't read carefully! I saw it was a 5p game and assumed it was the usual mistake that many players do, but this is War and not an Event. Yes, there seems to be a bug, probably triggered by Martin Luther effect, I will try to reproduce and fix it.
Sorry about your game, I can't fix that, and thanks for reporting the problem.

[rivaben]

No problem, MaBi. I am glad that I could help you indentify this issue.

Ok, this one was tricky but it's fixed now.
