Infect parameter on Epidemic #2

Open drinne opened 12 years ago

Upon reviewing the rules self for increasing the infection rate I think the rule of " drawing from the bottom" of the draw pile when the infection is caused by an epidemic is irrelevant in the computer game and would like to suggest that it just draw from the pile with a constraint of "if the location has not been infected before" for epidemic triggered infects.

It actually does increase the likely hood of the next epidemic by drawing from the top as each card drawn from the top brings you closer. Drawing from the bottom ensures that you are not increasing the difficulty of the game directly after an epidemic.

Hah I think I just solved our problem...

This should make it pretty trivial to interact with either the top or bottom.

Since they still use the Last In First out putting things back on top should be pretty easy.
