I tried testing the new function of scrapping cards and building new ones.

I got the Oil Well Community scrap card, which states "Convince artisans to build an Oil Well Community in the zone". The tooltip says it upgrades an asset, as long as it's under level 3, or it builds a new one.

There were 3 issues with this card:

1. The card is playable on any Zone, regardless of ownership

2. I played this card in a Zone with OIL DEPOSITS, but no asset built on it yet (the expectation was to get a new oil mine on top of the deposit). Instead, the asset was built inside the city tile itself (no deposit) and as a result it disappeared next turn.

3. The VID message telling me the asset was scrapped persisted through 3-4 mouse clicks before it let me proceed to the next one. I think the message was repeated as I kept getting the metallic sound that you normally get for each new VID message, every time I clicked.

Expectation:

1. The card should check zone ownership to prevent accidentaly playing it on another zone.

2. The card should check if any oil deposits are present in the zone.

3. If the card is set to build a new oil mine, then it should do so ONLY on top of an oil deposit. Otherwise, create an oil deposit on the tile it was built. Another suggestion would be to ONLY allow for upgrading oil mines and not building a new one.

4. The VID message should proceed ahead with a single mouse click and not 3-4.

(Edit: Sorry, this post should have gone in Support, I didn't click on the right Forum

I tried again and got the Statist Hunting community, which again gave me a Hunting I asset.

This card:

1. Did not check for zone ownership

2. It built the asset straight in my city tile (which is not a big deal in this case, but definitely doesn't work for deposits or farms in the middle of a desert)

This sounds like it should be a bug reports. usually we put these into Tech Support.

Note that a large bunch of things are stored in the savegame when it is first created: Events, OOB's - and especially Stratagems. So the version the savegame was created in can mater a lot.

I started a New Game with the new version.

Yeah, I thought this was the bug reports forum. My mistake.

Yeah, I had the same issue with the Ice Mining community scrap card where it built it in the city which doesn't have a water deposit...
