Intel Oddity

I emailed this to MM. Your thoughts?

Why does Economic Disruption lower enemy resource storage by 10000 points and cost 20000 intel, whereas Resource Procurement steals 10000 resource points (lowers enemy total storage and raises your own stored resources by 10000), but only costs 15000? Shouldn't it be more expensive than Economic Disruption because it does 2 things, and Economic Disruption only does one?

Perhaps disruption has a higher chance to succeed?

100% chance once past CI. All projects have a 100% except for Puppet Political Parties, which gets 50% hard coded.

I agree. Procurement should be more expensive. To destroy resources, an agent could plant a bomb near a storage facility but to move resources from that planet to your own empire would be a lot more difficult

Because intel is poorly balanced...

Yes Spoon, we know that all to well, don't we.
