I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I have a request. I would like to be able to choose the first game map for playing with newbies. https://boardgamegeek.com/image/3409873/gaia-project

I missed the BGG thread before it was censored. Would anyone be able to summarize it for me? Was anything decided?

Sometimes its a life saver.

Yes, it helps, but not enough, I've already had games with timer 1 and also 6 hours - abandoned or (blocked for many hours) by players with karma 80 - 100.

I see. Thanks. But maybe that could be arranged? It's a Variant refered on the manual, after all. I played the physical game many times with this configuration and I think it's the best for 3 players.

It's already done, you can check players status before joining (game settings icon) Btw, speed depends only on the players, but fast games is (usually) only with settings: timer running for a few hours, better not nonstop 24 h/ day (if you play with peoples from other time zones) 1 hour per player + 5 min per move -> it should be live game. 1 hour + 15 min (working for example between 8:00 and 16:00 o'clock -> it can be 'live' or also fast turn-based game, even for 2 or 3 days. If you want fast games, joining to play with timer 6 hours, or 1-3 days doesn't make sense at all.

@Ewan Very nice :)

I see. I understand the use for that, but to me it is confusing, as there is nothing visual/textual that explains the difference. But I don't know how other players think about this. :)

@coyotte508 ! Firefox mobile, chat and settings buttons [image: 1594340079386-screenshot_20200709-210830.png]

@Joe-Lionheart we have just added the cost in the tooltip. You can check it in the "alternate UI".

@coyotte508 Great. Thanks a lot

Sorry! It should be fixed now

You can try the new UI on testdev.boardgamers.space and click "alternate UI" in the sidebar. It should help out a lot. For research, you can directly click on the research track when advancing. No need to click one of the buttons.

@lucardoso288 It should largely be fixed now (except for one of the QIC action, but it's going to be fixed too).

I Agree with ElTemblo, is an easy implementation that can be realized with some flaggable options like this: O Allow automatic charge 1 O Allow automatic charge 2 (-1VP) O Allow automatic charge 3 (-2VP) O Don't charge Players, only during their turn, can always flag/unflag every options that allow to charge something when they know that the charge can be usefull or not. With this system you can allow only the charge 1 power, or charge 2 power but not 3, and so on, in every combinations. Only "don't charge" is the option that close every other possibilities. Another implementation can be the number of times you can allow a charge. For example: O Allow automatic charge 1 (All - 1 time - 2 times) O Allow automatic charge 2 (-1VP) (All - 1 time - 2 times) O Allow automatic charge 3 (-2VP) (All - 1 time - 2 times) O Don't charge "X times" is the number of players in that game.

@Ewan I think it's because of the cache, if you make a building or something it'll be fixed.
