AI Instantly Won Without Getting To 40 Prestige. Bug?

Quietmeadow · July 4

- I'm playing a match against the novice AI.
- We're using the four default Patrons.
- At one point in the match the score is 28 (AI) to 17 (me).
- The AI starts their turn, plays a few cards, and then all of a sudden I get the DEFEAT screen.
- The score is still the same 28-17, yet the AI somehow instantly won. They never got to 40, and even if they did, it never gave me my extra turn to pass them.

I'm definitely not a ToT expert and am somehow new to it, but this seems like a total bug. I really don't see how this could've happened, unless there's some kind of hidden mechanic I don't know about.

Did the AI have all the patrons turned toward them? If so, it's a patron win.

I agree it could be a patron win, but the that the opponent is nearing a patron win is hard to overlook...

Oh yea maybe? I didn't even know that was a thing. I've played at least 100 matches and that's never happened before.

But that is probably the case. Thank you for letting me know about that

Probably should also mention that anything over 80 prestige is an automatic win.

If all four patrons are turned toward one player side or the other, that counts as a Patron Victory. If your opponent is favored by 3 patrons, the black notification that pops up and says it's your turn should also say "XXX is close to a patron victory.", at which point your priority should be to get one or two patrons pointed back your way.
