OK! Did a little analysis on 2023 to date. (yeah, it’s not my turn in either game, right now :relaxed: )
We are a little over 1/3 done with 2023 (believe it or not).
Overall games are steady from 2022.
Balanced Mod is down significantly - can be accounted for by trulpen health issues, and 1 other of the most active players of 2022
Path to Victory holding steady from 2022 so far. 2021 a big year for PTV when it was new/newer, of course.
BUT! Out of the box has come back to life?!
Hmmmmmmm… I never did like the Iwo NO or all those Med NO’s… Oh, that’s right, they tried to make almost every island worth money - never agreed with that.
Or changing the capital rules to where you can’t raid money more than once…
Or the China rules… Hmmmmmmmmm
But those Russia NO’s were sorely needed. And I don’t even remember what the Japan/Russia at war rules were, they changed several times. BM was good on that.
