  No; cost reductions last until something is paid for (Enemy of My Enemy rulesheet).
  I didn't see the EomE rulesheet yet, but what I heard is that "until the cost are paid" is a default duration added to "until the end of the turn" for unspecified duration effect.
  However, the trait on the stronghold is a trait, well, that's obvious , but my point is, the effect is not applied once, it is constantly applied, so the reduction should be still there after cost is paid.
  A: My earlier post has now been corrected (thanks for linking straight to it). Cost reductions with a specified duration -- including "all the time" -- work as they always did. (It's a bit tricky, not having an EoME rulesheet to work from...) Zen Faulkes, "Kyuden Agasha + cost reduction", 12 Apr 2005

  This also applies to CoR, right? Like for Price of Power or other stuffs that calculate unit total gold costs?
  A: I have to overrule Zen here. The new rule applies only to cost reductions that do not have an explicit duration and rely on the default duration of "until the turn ends".
  The cost reduction from City of Remembrance is continual and lasts all game. It works the same as it did before. Jeff Alexander, "City of Remembrance cost reduction?", 12 Apr 2005
