Bug? Wonder does not trigger victory during combat phase?

[Tyler]

I'm playing the North and on the Act 2 boss I earned enough resources to upgrade the Wonder to Level 5 via pillaging during the combat phase. I had thought that this would cause me to win, but it did not.

Is this the expected behavior for the wonder?

It's kind of a bug, but not really. Buildings can only trigger effects during the round itself, which ends when the combat phase starts (after all the "end round" things). So, the Wonder didn't level up yet and would level up during next round (which doesn't help much here I admit...)

He runs out of defense, so I think it's defeated, though.

Ok, if that is the intended design its fine. I knew I couldn't win the boss fight the normal way so I threw everything at the wonder instead thinking it would work.
If I had met the wonder requirements for level 5 during the placement phase and not during combat would I have won?

It would be nice if you could preview a cards future levels in the upgrade/leveling menu. I had no idea what resources were needed for the wonder levels so I left the forest... turns out that was a big mistake lol.

Yes you would have won if you hit the Wonder during the round itself, it stops the round immediately. To check upgrade costs, best option is to go in the Collection menu (can be accessed from the pause)
