More Raw Deal Trouble

Well, I thought I had this licked but it's reared its ugly head
again.

Raw Deal background: Decks are built around a WWE Superstar and may
contain any number of non-superstar specific cards, but may only
contain their own superstar specific cards. The Rock cannot use a
Steve Austin card, for example.

Right now Superstar specific cards have a tag from the group reqss.

Superstar cards have a tag from the group isSS.

I have tried to steal the Will Only Join rule from the L5R files.

So I first identify the type of deck being played with a series of
rules along this line:

<rule id="Is3Min" message="Error: Cannot set Is3Min" priority="1"
scope="deck2">
<![CDATA[
eval Is3Min as { test { card:isSS.3Min > 0, 1, 0}}
]]>
</rule>

Then check the cards with this rule:

scope="card"
!reqss.? | (reqss.3Min & ( @Is3Min > 0))

This works fine except that there are over 70 superstar cards so the
rule over flows and won't parse.

So I broke the rule into 26 pieces and did one rule for each letter
of the alphabet. This would work fine except that some cards have
more than one superstar and so it activates more than one rule so I
get false negatives.

The only solution I can think of right now is to do seperate entries
for the different superstars and indentical them together, but that
seems like to much of a kludge. Any thoughts?

The rule 'over flows'? What do you mean?

Try breaking your rule up into pieces, assigning the results of each piece
to a variable. For example, if you have 200 terms, create 10 variables that
process 20 terms each. Then have your rule verify the 10 variables.

I'm tempted to believe that a rule with more than 100 terms can be written
differently, eliminating many of the current terms. But that's just a gut
feeling and completely unfounded. We leave for a tradeshow tomorrow morning
and won't be back until next week. If you want, press me on this issue when
we're back next week and I'll see if I can come up with a more creative
solution for you to try. In the meantime, the trick mentioned above ought
to get you operational.

Hope this helps,
Rob

Well, there are over 60 superstars in Raw Deal and each one requires at least 2 terms to check.

I've tried using variables and I haven't been very sucessful with the project. My current solution is to multiple copies of the card with only one superstar tag on the card and then mark them as identical. The upside is that it makes the rules much simpler, the downside is that the cards collapse into one another unless you are specifically searching for a given superstar.
