Issue with Artifacts for customization

[Brekk]

Guys, for some reason, customized artifacts are sometimes selecting items already owned by other players or even by your own kingdoms. I’m aware of the issue and working on a solution. In the meantime, please contact me if it happens, and we’ll address it—no need to drop from games.
Thanks,
John

As a potential partial workaround, when doing customizations, choose your artifacts before choosing to locate them. This seems to prevent you from getting the location of your own artifact, at least in my experience.

Update: I just received a quick reply from Mike. The selection of artifacts is completely random from the list. When “Fine” is chosen in a specific region, it naturally narrows the pool, which explains the issue. Fixing this will require a program change, so it’s on the list for the next update.

That’s actually good to know. My experience is that I get artifacts people already have in their possession which is a waste of points. I don’t try it anymore.

Thanks, I'll try and put in those customizations in a different order in my next game and see if that helps!

I got one that I already owned last time. Doh!
