First time this has happened to me, I hit the defend button and went to fight an opponent, and they made the first move instead of me. Not a huge problem since I have a good team that won the match, but has this happened to anyone else where the AI gets the first turn? ---

Yes. It’s quite rare, but it has happened to me a few times. Maybe once every 50-100 battles or so? ---

It happens. As Stix said, it is rare. To me it has happened twice this year. ---

Problem already presented to Support here: > [@Opposition starts battle](http://community.gemsofwar.com/t/opposition-starts-battle/741/8): > > Hi All, This is a known bug and we have had reports of this happening. This was happening when the game started up and the board had to re shuffle when the game started up and this for some reason counted as your turn, this is why the opponent looked like it was starting the game with the first move. We have fixed this issue in the next patch update. Thanks, Gems Of War Support Team (By the way, this is in the wrong subforum, since it’s a bug issue and not actual gameplay chat.) ---

Which category should I place it under? The choices are: uncategorized, game play chat, featured request, guilds, support, community guides, and off topic. My first thought would be the support, but I don’t need support, just wondered what was going on with the AI turns. ---

Yes, it’s in Support since it’s a bug issue. Mel moved it for you already. 😉 ---

I just dump all my threats in whatever the default is. Crowded then ends up moving them to whereever he thinks is most appropriate 😉
