Alright, at the moment, the cost of an option is attached to the option
itself and you can assign it a separate cost (using xcst) for specific
units, races, modes, etc.

What I would very much like to see is the ability to enter a cost in the
Option Link when creating a unit. For example, I could have an option for
shields which costs 1 point basic, but certain units might have to pay 2
or 3 for it and I'd like to be able to just add the shield option to the
unit by adding the link, entering 'shield' as the Option ID, select the
Link Nature 'Cost', and enter a cost in a 3rd box.

I realize I could just create an xcst attribute to do the same thing, but
when you're dealing with hundreds of different units across dozens of
separate datafiles it can get really cumbersome (ie, 'here's a long list
of units which should be charged 2 points, here's another long list of
units which should be charged 3 points...' etc). The only other option is
to create a separate option for each possible cost (and you can look at
cr.wf6 in the Warhammer 6th edition datafiles to find out how gross that
looks).

Anyway, I don't want the cost to be required to be defined in the option
link, if it's not the cost would default the option's cost or to the xcst
attribute if applicable, but if it is then it would override the basic
option cost.

Would anyone else like to see this functionality?

Mark
