• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
I know it doesn't affect much, other than being able to concede in 2 player games, but the game progression for Terra Mystica is just blatantly wrong. Since I'm playing a few turn based games that could take weeks, it helps me to know which is why by looking at the summary page and seeing how far along I am in each of my games, so it would be nice if this could be updated to be more accurate.
The game has a setup stage, followed by 6 rounds of play. You'd think such a clear definition of rounds would make it easier than most games to give an approximate % of how much of the game is played. For instance, maybe the setup stage (choosing factions, placing starting locations, and choosing bonus tiles) could count as 4% of the game, and each of the 6 rounds of play would then be 16% each.
As it is now, the % seems to go up 16% at a time, but only after the 2nd round is complete. So after you've played 2 rounds out of 6, it says that you've played 16% of the game, when it should obviously be 33/34% (assuming you're not counting the setup stage). After you're done with 4 rounds and playing the 5th round of 6, it says the game is 50% done. That just doesn't make a lot of sense. -

Report history
I confirmed with the other players that the % is off for them too. The first few rounds had the progression at 0%
None of this has had any negative impacts on the game itself. All rules are being followed and scoring is correct. Everybody is able to perform legal moves as expected.
boardgamearena.com/6/terramystica?table=600593424 has progress at 50%
boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=344241 has progress of the same table at 34%
My games in progress tab also says 34%.
I would estimate the game is somewhere around 60% complete.
