TMI and Compromised Employee ordering #154

Closed madend closed 11 years ago

madend commented 11 years ago

Not a bug per se but leads to errors in game:

Right now when a runner has Compromised Employee in play and a corp tries to rez TMI events happen in this order:

1) Corp double clicks TMI, it is flipped face up (appears rezzed) 2) Corp selects how much to reinforce link strength by to keep TMI rezzed 3) Credits for a corp ice rezzing awarded to runner from compromised employee.

Ideally step 3 should be happening before step 2, because if you don't realize those credits haven't been given to the runner yet the corp will set link strength to what he thinks is unblockable, only for the runner to be able to match the link strength with his new credits, derezzing TMI. TMI can be rezzed again by the corp if he has money, but that results in a huge waste of money compared to what he should have had to spend to securely rez the ICE.

Unfortunately this is not possible without messing about the order of other card effects as well. I'm afraid in this instance the corp just needs to remember what kind of cards their opponent has on the table and not just rely on the chat window ;)
