Title: Crumbling/Haunted Castle and Aqueduct
Post by: faust on December 07, 2017, 06:42:22 am
Basically this is a question on when-gain resolution.

When I gain a Crumbling Castle, two effects take place. Aqueduct gains me the VP on it, and I gain a Silver. I should be able to choose the Silver gain first, right? This would mean that I gain Crumbling Castle - first gain Silver - and then immediately take the VP from the Silver gain from Aqueduct. That is how I understand things, but it is not implemented that way in the online client. Am I misinterpreting the rules or is it a bug?

That sounds like the right interpretation, so this would be a bug online. It's funny because with Harem I think the client still asks whether you want first to move the (non-existent) tokens from Harem to Aqueduct or to gain the Aqueduct points.

It even does this when you gain a Humble Castle.

It indeed works for Humble Castle but not for Crumbling Castle. Probably because Humble Castle has both types, whereas for Crumbling Castle the client forgets that you're still gaining a victory card by the time you gain the Silver.
