- Cards which need a mode choice (e.g. the Siege cycle, Master of Predicaments etc.) will now log the choice that was made.

- The Siege cycle cards will now also report the choice in a message box so that it's immediately apparent what was chosen for them.
- Changed the default value of "Display Tokens in a Separate Row" to "disabled" (tokens are now displayed on the same row as non-token cards).
