The presented difficulty for executing the "Trade" major dip strat (204) seems unreasonably high to me.

Going by the description:
* Initial difficulty: 100

* Modified by +fist -mind. 81 mind, 20 fist should reduce the difficulty by 81-20=61, to a diff of: 39.

* Difficulty +10 is AI attitude is Friends: 49

* Attitude by target regime - not sure what it means, but if we're looking at Relation (100) vs. Desired Relation (2), I'll take the worst case of +98 difficulty: 147. Btw, since we're "Friends", is it reasonable "desired relation" is so low?

* Modified by Word Score. My word score is 104 (btw - is it a bug the score exceeded 100?). Presumably the higher it is, the lower the difficulty. So final diff should be less than 147, not 204.

The difference between Ais desired relation and actual relation is multiplied by 3.

Or in other words they are still Friends, but strategically speaking they'd actually think they should go to war (2 is very low).

It does not want to have closer contacts (more likely the reverse) so thats why the difficulty is so high.
