Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
On the first route, I intended to place houses to Mannheim, Stuttgart, and Nürnberg. But apparently I did not properly click on Mannheim, and then I only placed to Stuttgart and Nürnberg. I think in situations like this it is pretty clear that that is not the intention and a warning would be appropriate.
Sure, there is a Confirm, but you really don't expect to have to think about this, so the click is pretty automatic... -

Report history
This method returns true if a warning for 'you could place more houses' is needed
A = Set of cities forming the current road;
A= A with filtering out of cities where the player already has a house from previous roads;
B = Subset of A containing the cities where the player has currently decided to put a house;
If size(A) = size(B) then return false;
if size(B) >= number of houses in player's reserve then return false;
if size(B) <= 1 then return true;
C = Set of regions that have at least one city in set B;
if ( size(C) = 1 ) then
{ If (A-B) contains a city of region X then return true, else return false }
D = Set of regions that have at least one city in set A
if size(C) = size(B) then
{ if Size(C) < Size(D) return true else return false)
return false (<-- But if we are here, the houses currently selected by the player are not valid)
Hopefully, I didn't make any mistake.
1) On two occasions, a warning that more houses could be played would've been useful.
2) A player placed houses only at the edges of a route (the circles), thinking that the full route would be covered by that, though there were more cities in between.
3) Also, `Confirm House Placement` button is misleading for beginners.
4) The button should not even be enabled / clickable in some situations, especially considering that points are lost for unplaced houses at the end of the game.
The most common is that you need to keep houses to finish some objectives with your next road. This is pertinent because you don't own enough houses to put one everywhere. You have 2 houses too few so if you think you'll be able to place them all, you'll want so sacrifice a single region that you will not finish rather than have 2 unfinished regions.
But yeah, a warning would be very welcome (see my suggestion above).
