Implement promo cards

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Obviously an enhancement, but it would be sweet to get the five promo cards 
(Envoy, Black Market, Walled Village, Governor, Stash) into the rotation.

Stash might be a huge pain to implement.  Black Market too, but to a much 
lesser extent.

Stash could be implemented easily as a "Type in a number of cards down to put 
Stash". Then just put it in the Deck array at that location.

There's more to the Stash implementation than just where to put it, including:
 - if you draw some number of cards before you reshuffle, you need to see what cards those are (since, for example, if I draw copper-gold-silver-estate, I want to put that stash first, whereas if I draw estate-estate-province-copper, I likely want to put it at least 1 down)
 - you are supposed to be able to see whether a stash is on top of your opponent's deck (which might matter for things like deciding whether to play Jester during your turn)

I understand why stash is hard to implement, but what about governor, walled 
village and envoy. Not complaining or anything, you are doing a great job.

I have implemented Governor, Walled Village, and Envoy in my local build. I 
used the most recent build to implement them. If somebody adds me as a commiter 
I would be happy to commit this change.

Governor, Walled Village, and Envoy have been implemented and committed to the 
Dark Ages branch. I am now working on Black Market.

Noticed a bug with Governor in the Dark Ages branch.

The first two options, "Each player draws 1 (3) cards" and "Each player gains a 
silver (gold)", are working correctly.  But when I choose the third option, 
"Each player may trash a card and gain a card costing exactly 1 (2) more", my 
opponent gets the (2) more effect that only the player playing Governor is 
supposed to get.

The AI trashed coppers with no 1 cost cards, but picked up chapels each time.  
The AI plays as if it thinks it will get the 1 additional gain: it trashed a 
Market, I expect planning to get a Gold, but it got nothing as there were no 7 
cost cards. And an Estate was trashed for a Walled Village.

In addition the "may" clause isn't followed.  When choosing the action I was 
forced to trash something.  The AI never played the card, at least not for that 
option, so I never was able to test it on the receiving end.

I most likely did not make it "may" so I will fix that. I will take a look at 
AI. The trash decision logic is fairly poor, but obviously they should not be 
gaining chapels off coppers so I will look into that. Thanks.

For an update on this:

Would it now be possible to add Black Market as another "VariableCardPile"?

I would assume that it would work essentially as a Variable Card Pile that 
isn't in the supply. Possible issues:

1) Choosing how many cards to include in the BM Pile - Isotropic uses a flat 
25, but the actual rules state that it's "any number agreed upon, though 
recommended to have at least 15". I'd either just default to 25 to match how 
most people would expect from playing on Iso, or add (yet another) option in 
the settings menu to choose how many cards are included in the BM Pile.

2) Displaying the contents of the chosen cards doesn't seem to be (currently) 
very easily done. This is possibly a general UI issue (ie any "select a card 
from the list" doesn't have an easy way to long-press those specific cards, you 
have to find them on the table and long-press the kingdom pile to view it), but 
is worse for BM due to not having kingdom piles. Same issue for any 
multi-select including any knights, though.

3) Displaying which cards are actually *in* the BM deck. (This shouldn't show 
the actual pile itself, since the ordering is unknown, but some way of seeing 
which cards the BM decks contain in whole would still be useful.) Another UI 
difficulty, and in the short-term, I'd just say "the player can't see them, too 
bad" until a solution is decided upon.

Thoughts?

Black Market implemented in r916 (multiplayer).

Te above bug is valid for this as well

See Google Help for more information.

As you say in the starting page of the project:
"There appears to be a problem for downloading for some users. If you cannot 
download the apk files directly from androminion.googlecode.com, you can also 
download some apks here: 
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxMf9NryiCLGYVo4RkYyaFRvbWM&authuser=0" - if 
you could upload the apks there that would be nice.
