I didn't see this on the bug list. It's a new one for me.
I was about 5 minutes into a match playing media/order. My opponent was playing crime/scholar. He had a Piri Reis down. Monteriggioni was not on the board.
Suddenly, everything he played was a surprise. Agents, actions. Literally everything. None of the "make your next whatever a surprise" cards were played in between. I understand how those work. He just had surprise on every single card. I did not have the same advantage.
Anybody else seen anything like this?

Did he maybe use Military Brutality to get Ezio, Mentor on the board?

Yes, the person I was playing had a red / green deck. Mostly sites, but they also had a Piri Reis out. It was their only agent played all game.
We were playing the game as normal the Piri was already out, then they played 2 cards, I think, I'm not sure what they were because I honestly wasnt paying that close attention because I thought I had the game locked. Then suddenly started instant spamming Basilica Di San Pietro for gold (2 on the same site) and draw cards then dropping instant sites to bring 2 sites to over 10 in the last half day of play before they crushed me.
At the time I thought wow there is some crazy red / green combo I missed, but couldn't figure it out. However, like I said I went from half paying attention to what the heck is happening to losing in less than half a day, so I just thought I missed something until I saw your post.

Maybe a developer playtesting some crazy new 11-cost self-discard card? ;-)

There are a lot of instant sites now, like the big 10 cost 5 influence red counter and the 5 cost 2 influence red counter, etc. he could have played his own cards, countered them and dropped the sites surprise speed.

Maybe he was just playing surprises.

I know what the surprise cards are. They would have had to play a Militia Intimidation or something to get these cards out. That isn't what happened. I don't mean a bunch of surprises came out. I mean all cards were resolving with surprise.

kyle, this is just a guess but he may have played Ezio Mentor and you just couldn't see him on your end. This has not happened to me but it's the only explanation I can think of. Did he maybe use Military Brutality to get Ezio, Mentor on the board? felix, Ezio Mentor does not need Military Brutality, he is Mr. Surprise himself.  |

It would help if you could tell us which cards were resolving as surprises. Like I said a likely scenario is playing cards to counter it yourself with say a Suleiman or yerebatan cistern or that big red one to get them out.

I honestly can't remember anymore. But it was 6 or 8 straight cards. The one I can remember is Ezio Assassin (that guy has a way of imprinting your memory). I just know it wasn't cards that had surprise as an ability and I looked through his cards to find out what was causing it and didn't see anything. Maybe I missed something.

Ezio Mentor was here. o/ I will keep this thread openned a few times until someone can come and confirm this. If nobody comes, I will lock it as a [not a bug]. |

That's gotta be it. I can't believe I missed it, but I also can't believe that such a big bug has only been noticed by me.

The guy played Ezio Assassin, confirming that he plays Crime. He your opp was playing Faith/Order, well I'd have take this report more seriously.
But as it is right now, I'm 99% sure Ezio Mentor was just on the field, sneaking a region somewhere in the shadows. :]

None of this explains the person being able to instantly play 2 San Pietros over and over again in half a day, plus green draw cards, even if all the other sites were surprises.
But I have to agree since we don't have specifics it's hard to classify it as a bug.
I'll be interested to see if there is some Piri Reis exploit out there yet to be realized. It seems to be the only common thread between our games.
