Rider does not award "Discover Tribe" bonus when he rebounds behing the fog

[nova wasp]

Early in this game, I was smacked by my enemy's rider, who instantly retreated back into the fog.

Expected behaviour: "Enemy tribe greets you. Rewarded X stars."

Current behaviour: No popup nor star bonus.

You only 'meet' a tribe if they have a unit in your vision at the start of your turn

Retreating back into the fog doesn't count as a meeting

[nova wasp]

Wouldn't attacking someone count as a meeting? Compare to reality, I would say yes much more than no. This should likewise be the behaviour in the game.

Practically, I have already comprehended his identity. I saw he was yellow, which tribe he is in, all with my human eyes irl. If I have such a comprehension of the enemy, then the game should deliver a bonus as we've been sufficiently introduced.

Nah, he just ambushed you and ran away

I believe in large matches with many enemies you can discover people who aren't visible at your turn. For example when a new enemy appears, then is killed by the next player, then by the time it's your turn, you'll get the bonus despite him being nowhere to be found. This behaviour is inconsistent with the rider attacking me.

Nope

If the unit is killed before your turn, you get no meeting popup

Also of course, games like this are reasonably modeled after reality. If I know from the attack he's a yellow Oumaji, then that tells me a lot as a player. What more could I know, that meeting again later would add?

Congrats adrians_reality. Your recent activity just advanced you to level 1!

Unit was not killed

It was a polytaur. The attack delivered 6 points on his 15. He survived with 9hp

when a new enemy appears, then is killed by the next player

[nova wasp]

I see

In this case you get no bonus stars
