Hi,

Currently:

You see zeroes for the free policies of each categories.
But it is not the number of free policies, but the cost each year.

However, the first number (3/4/3) is well the number of available policies.
I personally find this very inconsistant.

What I would find logical is:

You now see that I have right to 2 admin free policies (1 from Spain, 1 base).
0 free diplomatical => i already use my 1 free and have no extra free.
1 for military.

Then you can have in red the number if it goes "negative" (= spent monthly points of each category) if you take too much politcies.

I'm saying this because I really feel the number 0 from the first screen do not say much :/

Well that's all.

I'm incredibly glad that the UI also counts the number of possible policies for you. Damn, if it didn't do that, I would've never know there were 3 rectangles of space for policies. You even have an instance of 4 there! I didn't notice that until I saw that number "4".


No, but seriously, if they don't want to remove the monthly cost from there (which I can imagine would like to keep as well?), why not change the possible number of policies count for the free policies count. Those rectangles give a good visual representation of the number of possible policies.
