Poisoned player on 1 health kills king then dies... should prestige leader have won?

[AndyLVV]

Should I have won? I'm prestige leader, Barnabay on 1 health attacks king and wins taking 0 damage (heavy armour master), then poison hits home and he dies.

Is it a bug, or is turn order for effects stacked so the win happens before the damage from the poison apple?

[vardgo]

all effects that would happen after the fight are not accounted for with what would give a victory... if you are poisoned the poison is resolved after... you can kill the king and win, but dying by poison after won't give the victory to prestege leader.

Not really a bug but yea it doesn't add up with the rest of the mecanics.

[Schulz]

Also if it worked the other way, the effect taking place it would make poison morr relevant

[Talisman]

To elaborate on what Vardgo said, Barnaby killed the king and king failed to kill him. That means Barnaby won a Kingslayer victory. What happened after is irrelevant.

It's not a bug, just a not-immediately-obvious consequence of the way things are resolved. Poison takes effect after you move, but combat takes effect before you move, and victory is determined as soon as the king dies.

[EllyBeeShaped]

Thematically, Barnaby got to be king. The fact that he was king for -ten seconds- and then died of poison is irreleveent to the win condition 'was he king ever?'.

I can console myself with the fact that he won, but I took over after his brief time as king :P

LOL it was me. U play with Thane? When i kill the king with just one heart and dies after that i think..NOOO i lose. but i won :D
i was confused too, but here is the explanation haha.

Hey folks!

Basically, the game ends as soon as The King dies. SO, if you kill The King and THEN die, it doesn't matter because you're still the first player to win the throne. Although brief, you became The King of Armello.

[Duskglitch]

Yep was me you were playing with. Was really annoyed I didn't have any more swords to burn, so had to hope the poisoned apple could stop you winning :P
