Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
On building a dome Chaos should cycle powers when he has powers, and *then* Nyx's ability should fire. (Turning off Chaos' power until another dome is built). I'm not actually sure _which_ dome build should cycle Chaos' power, but one of them should, because _either_ Chaos' power has priority over Nyx's, _or_ Nyx's power has priority over Chaos, but either way Chaos' power will fire.

Report history
But I will research that discussion. Maybe we were supposed to ban this combination of powers?
* If Chaos builds the dome, Chaos + Nyx both do "end of turn"
* If Nyx builds the dome, only Nyx does "end of turn" and Chaos power gets removed before he can.
Technically there is no bug here. I do agree this behavior may be confusing and doesn't appear to be fair, so I will ban the combination Nyx vs. Chaos on BGA.

He seems nonchalant, sort of inventing various different rules about the timing of powers as different questions arose. In future Santorini Pantheon edition, he mentions Nyx will be changed to "start of turn". If we applied that change to BGA implementation, we would "fix" Nyx vs. Chaos but we would cause the same problem for Nyx vs. Circe, Hypnus, Morpheus (who already have "start of turn" powers).
