Drafting Problem

[Huggybaby]

Hello Everyone,

First of all, I love the Forge program. It allows me to play test drafting different colors and new combinations of cards I normally would go with to see interactions I may not have seen before.

My question is, "After doing a draft, and then picking the 40 cards for my deck, is there supposed to be a ""start"" button under the current deck or am I supposed to hit ""restart forge"" every time to get back to the screen where I can select either 1 or 7 AI players to start playing that draft deck in?

If there is a start button, I'm not seeing it in my Forge, or maybe there's something else I"m missing to be able to either start the draft from the edit deck screen or not seeing where to "go back" a screen to start the draft without restarting Forge.

Ty anyone with helpful input,

After doing the actual deck a new line will appear in the drafted decks. You need to click on the edit deck button to actually build the deck. Save the deck. Now when you select that draft from the list the start button at the bottom should become active.

Hi moomarc,
Yeah, the start button shows after I build the 40 card deck, but only after I restart forge. There is no actual start button that pops up in the edit deck screen. The problem is when I draft the deck, I don't know how to go back to the deck edit page without restarting Forge, and then when I restart Forge and hit the deck edit button and build a 40 card deck, I don't know what to press to go back to the "start" button page without restarting forge. I guess I'm missing where the "go to previous page/menu" button is.

From the Forge FAQ - How do I navigate back to a previous screen?

Thank you so much for the link spr. I didn't think that the "X" on the top right of forge would send me back to the main page. Silly "Windows-minded" thinking of me. Much appreciated.

Why is it that you can play 1 or 7 but not 3 (which is usual for a draft)

Hi Kestell,
I'm not one of the Forge programmers, but I'll make an educated guess on why you can play 1 or 7 but not 3. Maybe it would be a little hard to program the winner of the AI vs AI games' best of 3, and also coordinate who plays who after rounds 1, 2, and the 3rd and final match?

We *do* have the capability to run AIvAI games with or without attaching the UI, so I'd call this possible.

Of course you do =D, it's incredible what even the solo person can create on a computer, let alone a team. But how hard would it be to do? I like your attitude though and hope someday we see the draft simulator on Forge get closer and closer to the "real thing."
