I don't know if it'll work because I've been fiddling with the config, but maybe we can try

Well done guys, I think it's so cool that games like this can happen!

If you play online with expansions, be careful if you use Traders & Builders with Princess & Dragon. If you use a dragon tile to generate a bonus turn, the game tends to stop after the dragon finishes movement rather than giving the second turn.

I think this bug has been reported to the author so hopefully it will be fixed in the next version...

Also there is the option to choose the score for 2 tiles cities between 2 and 4 depending on the ruleset you're used to (or region you live in). But there isn't a similar option for fields, when you have farmers on different fields, if both have a same city, they all score the city. There was this old rules where it stated a city should be scored only once, even if you control two separate fields which have it. I know it's the old rules but me and my friends still play like that so it would be nice to have the option. Might send this request to developers :P

@mas9dj - according to the change log (http://jcloisterzone.com/change_log.txt) it looks as though older rules for scoring farms have been removed with the current version.

When this happens to us, it seems the game is confused and the wrong player can place a piece.

Given a two player game, where player A has a second turn and is moving the dragon.  After the dragon's move, player B has the focus, and can place player A's next tile.  After this is done, the game returns to normal, and it becomes player B's turn.

This happens to us regularly.  The game needs a fair bit of work - when this starts happening, we can count on it hanging later to the point we have to end the game.  The hang happens at odd times, and is not related to a dragon move.

Overall, the game seems solid if you play with no expansions.  Otherwise, you risk not being able to finish the game.
