    I wasn't aware the bug/problem was confidential. Sorry.

    It is not, but normally or, better worded, I have always dealt with these things by reaching to devs and then send whatever they need via email to avoid further spam here. They haven't asked anything and normally playdek should be able to find out a lot looking at their server log.

    Just a tip for those who are having trouble reading the cards/UI on an iPhone (this goes for every Playdek game, most universal euro-style board games, etc.)

    Go to settings-general-accessability and look for the zoom option. With this turned on, a 3 fingered double tap will zoom the screen by 200% and allow you to pan around. You can also swipe up or down with three fingers to zoom in farther or zoom out. Another 3 finger double tap will restore the screen to normal.

    It works. I was going to stay away from Nightfall until I tried this technique on Summoner Wars. It worked well enough to relieve me of my misgivings.

    My apologies. The game was stuck because a champion was on the field and it has the abilities of absorbing damage of unit at distance (cloaks faction). I still do not understand what stopped my summer ability though ... But I now safely assume it is user fault or better my ignorance.

    ONEWITHCHAOS, what am I missing ? It is the game with you ... I just won :D (for once).

    Depends on what your deck build is, but mostly Ret wins with a champ heavy strategy. Having said this, Ret has multiple ways to summon Champs.

    One of his strengths is an event (Forced Summon) that puts 2 damage on Ret but reduces teh cost of the next champ you play by 5. Wall+Forced summoning a champ is usually GG against low health summoners. The other way is Elut Bal's ability to sacrifice units to reduce elut bal's cost by 2 for each unit sac'd.

    Another advantage Ret has is Unit sustain. You can trade units 1:1, but Ret summons yours back, and zombies can raise others. On the other hand, Ret also has Champ sustain at the cost of your units. Choosing when to use these tactics will spell win for Ret.

    When compared with MtG, Ret is more of a control deck in which your job is to stay alive until you can get your recursion and/or champ rush set up.

    FK is a bit weaker in terms of units value to cost ratios as compared with most factions, but FK has some wicked combos that can win games when played at the right time.

    I don't think it's "spam" to post details of problems you encounter here. It's really helpful to other people who might run into the same problem. And sometimes they even come up with a solution.

    my apologies I didn't see this eaelier. I have a bad memory but I think you inflicted damage on an unit and I had the cloak's champion to absorb damage. since its waiting for a promp from me it pauses the game until I do my action. whether to absorb damage or not. I think it also happens with GD where they have a champion that you can pay magic to deflect one damage and basically other units that require other user prompt.


    yikes you complain too much lol. our record is 4-2 I only hve 2 game leads on you lol.



    against celeric my record is 1-12 where I'm losing. Now THAT's bad lol buy I'm determined to beat him with VG. for all other games I'm maining cloaks now till I reach 30 games with them.

    Oh God, I don't know if I'll ever get good at this game, it's stupid mistake after stupid mistake after...throws iPad across room in frustration :p

    Latest one is in a war of attrition with celeric (who is using raise dead like six times in a row), I think I'm finally gaining the edge and I go to use Seras healing ability on Archangel to secure advantage...so why is it not working? Read the fine print, oh yes it says Sera must be ADJACENT to the unit to be healed.....aigggggh!!!!1 Welp I think I just threw another one away!

    YEs, we italian (from the south) are big complainers :)
    This aside, do you remember if you played something that would block my commoner ability? That was kind of weird and it has happened a few times before (with others) and I never noticed if they played an event causing that.

    GG celeric! Well that previous mistake plus the snake eyes I rolled in the last round sealed my defeat. I sent you another invite with a 14 day timer this time...

    I wish, but just in case I am now switching to cloaks (I think)!
    But JE are really a nice faction. I would call the, the ultimate sneaking back stabbers! Andy love the gorilla card whatever the real name is!

    GG I'm having good results with Phoenix Elves for some reason. GD remains my best race as well.

    Celeric, I'm assuming you're sticking to PE/TO for the foreseeable future?

    Oh, you have no idea, no idea at all. The game Celeric and I finished yesterday was beyond bizarre. How can anyone be that lucky?! it's unfair I tell you, unfair! :eek:

    Tecwrtr, you too! Stop rolling so well and I'd appreciate if you stop the voodoo spells that limit me to rolling 2's. Arrrgghh.

    Well, it's not luck as much as karma in my case for inflicting some very bad early losses on him.

    Actually I have custom decks for all races now. Just trying out JE against kitkeat now. So left with VG and Cloaks to use in a competitive game. Anyhow GG sapphire on that last one, that fail rush from me set me back big time lol!
