Bracketed text on cards

Post by fruktansvärt »

Twelve cards here on BGA have text that includes [brackets]. The text used for the cards seems to be the same as on terraformingmars.cards — a site that lists all the cards, but doesn't display them. Certain icons on the cards are instead inserted as text in brackets.
So, for example, if the original text reads: "Place this tile and raise the temperature 2 steps." + an icon of the tile.
Then the .cards text reads: "Place [the nuclear zone] tile and raise the temperature 2 steps." (icon missing)

Since the cards here on BGA do have the icons, the explanatory brackets are not really needed, and the original text can be used. Alternatively, just delete the brackets.
Card 44 (Natural Preserve), a card in the same category, already uses "this tile" (no brackets)
Cards 81 and 173 have some explanatory text added, this should probably be kept (but the brackets removed).

Present text here on BGA:
008. Place [the capital city] tile. Decrease your energy production 2 steps and increase your M€ production 5 steps
064. Place [the mining] tile on an area with a steel or titanium placement bonus, adjacent to another of your tiles. Increase your production of that resource 1 step.
067. Place [the mining] tile on an area with a steel or titanium placement bonus. Increase that production 1 step.
085. Decrease your energy production 1 step and increase your M€ production 4 steps. Place [the commercial district] tile.
097. Place [the nuclear zone] tile and raise the temperature 2 steps.
123. Place [the Industrial Center] tile ADJACENT TO A CITY TILE
128. Requires that you have a greenery tile. Place [the Ecological Zone] tile ADJACENT TO ANY GREENERY TILE. 1 VP per 2 animals on this card.
140. Raise the temperature 2 steps and place this [the Lava Flow] tile ON EITHER THARSIS THOLUS, ASCRAEUS MONS, PAVONIS MONS OR ARSIA MONS.
142. Increase your heat production 4 steps. Place [the Mohole Area] tile ON AN AREA RESERVED FOR OCEAN.
199. Place [the restricted area] tile.
081. Place a city tile ON THE RESERVED AREA [for Ganymede Colony].
173. Opponents may not remove your [plants, animals or microbes]

I propose we replace it with the text from the physical cards (except 81 and 173):
008. Place this tile. Decrease your energy production 2 steps and increase your M€ production 5 steps.
064. Place this tile on an area with a steel or titanium placement bonus, adjacent to another of your tiles. Increase your production of that resource 1 step.
067. Place this tile on an area with a steel or titanium placement bonus. Increase that production 1 step.
085. Decrease your energy production 1 step and increase your M€ production 4 steps. Place this tile. 1 VP per adjacent city tile.
097. Place this tile and raise the temperature 2 steps.
123. Place this tile ADJACENT TO A CITY TILE.
128. Requires that you have a greenery tile. Place this tile ADJACENT TO ANY GREENERY TILE. 1 VP per 2 animals on this card.
140. Raise the temperature 2 steps and place this tile ON EITHER THARSIS THOLUS, ASCRAEUS MONS, PAVONIS MONS OR ARSIA MONS.
142. Increase your heat production 4 steps. Place this tile ON AN AREA RESERVED FOR OCEAN.
199. Place this tile.
081. Place a city tile ON THE RESERVED AREA for Ganymede Colony.
173. Opponents may not remove your plants, animals or microbes.
