My own Observation:
The Stratagem Generation Report still speaks of the Cards costing BP, rather then [CouncilTask]CardPoints

Information I got from someone elses Picture:
Apparently it is possible to generate the same card more then once per turn (if there is a extremely lopsided weight). However when doing so the price and weight does not appear to be increased properly between each card.
i.e., generating 3 "Make Peace Cards" when it starts at 60 Card Points, costs 60 Card Points for each of them.

If a card has to be rolled to be generated it appears in the log as if the price was increased. But that might be a simple display inconsistency.

No it isn't a display inconsistency, because the math checks out !
fb.asp?m=4979638
50 = 30 + 45*0.44
(and 274 = 60*3 + 180*0.52, but no price increase here, since the last card is different)

I'd rather think that it's the price *changing* that was a programming "mistake"... even though from a design standpoint it would probably be better if both the price and weight indeed changed with each generated card ?

(That's in 1.08.03, game started on 1.07.06.)

It is not a inconsistency that the displayed price is higher. I said as much. Very explicitly.

I was just point out that the dispalyed values do not nessesarily match the values that were actually used.

I just noticed such a problem all over the Airplanes - the Weight/Horse Power Ratio and Wingload are displayed as if they are from a 1G, 1 Bar planet. But the real values are definitely used in all that other code.

The plot thickens...

Hmm, maybe you were in a way right about the display inconsistency ?

One possibility that I can think of is how there are *two* Councils generating points for Minor Diplomacy, but only one for Interior Policies !

But this time the cost of the cards did increase properly with each instance that was generated:
147-30 = 117
117-45 = 72
90*80% = 72

Yes, I'm assuming now that Interior is actually working properly,
I mean that it's the Minor Diplomacy that doesn't display that it maybe (?) generates separately for the Supreme and the Foreign councils.

Ooookay....

So if it does it properly or not is apaprently non-deterministic. That will require some investigation by Vic
