#Glory mode - first move advantage (wiki says otherwise)

According to wiki:
https://polytopia.fandom.com/wiki/Game_Modes#Glory

The objective of the Glory game mode is to be the first player to achieve a score of 10,000 points. If multiple players get 10,000 points in the same turn, the player with the most points at the end of the turn wins, even if that player was not the first to get 10,000 points. The single-player counterpart of Glory is Perfection.

However, the game seems to work differently. When one player (moving first) reached score 10k in round 20, the game immediately ended.

I recommend setting the replay as a Favorite and then linking it here. That will prevent it being deleted while the team can review the replay

This isn't a bug. As far as I know, glory mode has never worked the way that the wiki describes. In any game mode, if you meet the win condition (10k score or all capitals or whatever) during your turn, the "end turn" button turns into a "finish game" button, and the game ends as soon as you finish your turn. I don't know why the wiki describes the ending that way, but the behavior you noticed in the game is, as far as I know, the intended behavior.

That's valid, but I stand by the assertion that it isn't a bug. I don't recall seeing any threads about this recently in #1020073419670298797, so you can open one or add to an existing one if there is.
