Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
In round 2 of our game, the action bonus was 2 points per spade. On my first move of the round I spent 6 power for 2 spades. I used one spade to terraform a land space, and the 2nd spade to place my special landscape on a water tile. I suppose this could be a gray area since I wasn't terraforming, however the action bonus seems to say any spade spent should score the bonus and the special landscape has a cost of 1 spade. The other players in my game actually noticed this bug, and thought it should score the points.

Report history
The scoring tile bonus was not "2 points per spade", as you report incorrectly, but "Get 2 additional Victory points for each Spade when using them". So you get nothing from your unused spade.
There is no bug here.
I built the mermaid landscape with a shovel in the fourth round, but I didn't get the score for this round.
Expantion races, Acolytes and Dragonlords can spend spades as other way and gets round vp bonuses.
Therefore, I think marmaids can get vp in this case.
Regardihg the Acolytes and Dragonmasters, they do not receive spades, and therefore have no opportunity to use them (ludovox.fr/terra-mystica-fire-ice/).
The least you can do, when you make such dubious assertions, is to quote your sources of information.
In the basic rule, the only way to use a spade is to transform a terrain space. The Special Landscapes rules don't say that the spade spent as special cost for the Coral Reef is "used".
A general principle of reading the rules is to assume they are properly written, and not to invent or extrapolate a provision that is not explicitly written in them.
So I don’t think there’s any serious evidence to support this bug report.
