For example, after declaring defenders it goes straight to challenge resolution. This basically makes Targaryen an unplayable faction right now. If they want to burn a defender this would likely change the challenge winner, causing the need for lots of stuff to be rewound, which oftentimes can be hard to do. If you want to automate the challenges themselves (which would be cool but probably very hard) you would need to include steps for every action window (which both players would need to pass consecutively before moving on) as well as options for reacting to winning/losing, interrupting or replacing claim, reacting/interrupting to keywords etc. Also all the less-important phases like standing and taxation and their action phases would need to be included. Without that this will probably be useful/playable but won’t be a serious tool for playing the game which is needed if you want it to reach jinteki heights I think. \r\n\r\nIn the meantime it’s probably better (and easier) to at least make it possible to do everything manually. For example just kneeling a card, typing “mil” in the chatbox and handling the resolution yourself. There would need to be commands for drawing, looking at the top x cards of the top/bottom of the deck, putting any kind of tokens on cards, etc. Most of that is already implemented I believe but not all. It would more or less be like playing on OCTGN, except better because it's browser-based and has a much cleaner interface. Let me know what you think and if you need any help with game rules for example. :)"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/cryogen/throneteki/issues/comments/266376305","html_url":"https://github.com/cryogen/throneteki/issues/48#issuecomment-266376305","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/cryogen/throneteki/issues/48","id":266376305,"user":{"login":"cryogen","id":1053365,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/1053365?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen","html_url":"https://github.com/cryogen","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/cryogen/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-12T09:06:05Z","updated_at":"2016-12-12T09:06:05Z","body":"Closing this as #89 is the same as has more discussion"}}
