If you roll a "1" in a naval battle when eliminating your opponent's force, you also get to capture an enemy ship you hit instead of sinking it. |

The answer to this rules question on Discord (from @Mikhs) is that you are not forced to claim a Milestone - you only do so when you want to. That then begs the question of whether or not we should allow France to retroactively claim this Milestone first. I know in the other PBEM game I'm playing with several of you, there was a Milestone which I'd forgotten I was able to claim, and it took me quite a few turns to realize I could claim it...and I only did claim it then. But frankly, I'm happy to let Brian decide how he wants to resolve this for France, if that works for everyone else. |

I have no problem with seeding the discard pile (I'd better not since I was the idiot who caused the problem). I think Milestones are claimable as the player decides rather than be automatic. |
1134 | 11/17/2023 5:03:00 AM | Turn 1 | Poland | Message |
I'm fine with drawing random cards for discard pile. Regarding Milestones, I'm not sure what's correct. Rules are not clear on this, but when I first read them I also had an impression that completing Milestones is automatic. However, on Discord server people have claimed that Milestones may be delayed like Missions, and I now lean towards this interpretation, just because it makes things more consistent in my opinion. I guess we simply need to agree on a ruling. I'm fine with either option. And something to be aware of regarding this decision: In most cases there is no reason for a player to want to delay completing a Milestone, but there are at least two cases when it might be desired: - Sometimes scoring immediately wastes some of the reward (if player's Monarch Power pool is full or if extra ducats will bring them over corruption threshold) - Completing "Dismantle the HRE" (Diplomatic Milestone, Age IV) sets Authority to 0, so the Emperor might not want to score it even if they meet the requirements (Occupy, Own, or Vassalize all Provinces in 3+ original Elector Areas) |

Agreed. > do you immediately and automatically score > Milestones without having to claim them as such? Now that you mention it, I think you do. The rules do not say explicitly, but formulations like "The first player to complete a Milestone scores 5 VP" and "The tie breaker, if several players complete a Milestone at the same time, is Turn order" imply that it is completion, not claiming, that counts. |

The Prestige figures I just changed here in ACTS reflect France getting 5 Prestige for the Milestone, and me getting 3 for the Milestone + 2 for Researching the Idea. (If that's correct, I'd ask France to change the Prestige in his next move file.) By the way, I'm uncomfortable with there not being 5+ Admin cards in the Discard Pile, following the mistaken reshuffling of all of the Admin cards at the start of this Round. (It is important for such cards to be in place for a number of different purposes.) Before starting my turn, I actually tried to restore the 5 cards that should have remained in place...but it seems as though several of them have already been drawn by other players, so it wasn't possible to fix that. I'm inclined to suggest that we remedy this by immediately drawwing 3 random cards from the deck and adding them to the bottom of the discard pile so that we do have enough cards in place there; how would everyone else feel about that? |

2.R1.013 - (Ott) Research, Milestone I spent 5 AP to Research "Church Attendance Duty", which allowed me to complete the "Innovative Administration" Milestone (having now Researched 4+ Ideas), gaining 2 AP back as well as removing Unrest from Smederevo. Between the two I also gain 7 Prestige. (Actually, having said that...do you immediately and automatically score Milestones without having to claim them as such? If so, France started Age II with 4 Ideas already Researched, so perhaps I should only get 3 Prestige instead of 5 for the Milestone, and France should immediately get 5 Prestige + 2 AP before starting her next turn.) Either way, France is now up. |
