Detailed description

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
One-shot actions in the status bar, on cards and in card descriptions are only displayed as an Icon.
I understand that nothing can be done about the cards themselves (boardgamearena.com/bug?id=118323)
But something should be done because it is hard to correlate those with rules and other texts than mention them.
I think that in the over text of the cards, all the opés should have their type be extra clear
Take for instance Grand Hetman, it has a Repress op that goes like this in the description:
[icon] Laski's statute
Use this operation....
I think something like this would be better:
[icon] <bold>Repress</bold> - Laski's statute
Use this operation....
More importantly, its Conspiracy one-shot should have its name stated as text and possibly its rule explained (or maybe just a pointer to the rule since the rulebooks have codes like J1 for Conspiracy)
As for the one shot in the status bar well....
I don't know if that can have an hover text of its own ?
Or the icon could be followed by (${oneshotname}) ?
I understand that this is mostly rendundant in English (except that the font on the icon is not always the most readable) but I think it could help for other languages.

Report history
I don't think I will add the names of all the one-shots and operations everywhere. The in game player aid also uses the icons for reference and besides text they all have an icon to recognize them. I also haven't received any feedback on this from a gameplay perspective.
