I agree over revamping mapgames! Algorithums are only as good as the info supplied, so they can be flawed or malformed, if used poorly or mods are ill informed.

Bloated egos, Hitler like exposition and no cause belli ruined games both here and on Althist Wiki.

Economics and political intrigue are good tools.

http://mapgame.wikia.com/wiki/An_Alternate_1921_Map_Game lasted due to the lack of ego, cheating and rude behavior.

The rise of Hitler, Napoleon, Cuban Missile Crisis, the American Civil War and the Scramble for Africa are interesting times to play in.

ASB games can be fun, but also bias. Congo and Gabon produce oil and manganese respectively [] and [], yet LMB thinks that they are useless even after the Middle East was destroyed in a nuclear war making remaining oil nations in the game powerful.

I agree, Hyper-development is a problem to. Launching space shuttles in 1952 is just plain silly.....

Your right, Googleing is to be encouraged, we don't want basic mistakes to occer- you know, Lebanon listed as an Israeli province (Althist), the Iran-Iraq war happening 2 years late (here) and Azerbaijan being Orthodox Christian (Althist).

I added this to improve the game rules on accuracy- "Troop numbers are related to population numbers. The Russian army is currently at ~1,500,000 and the poulaton is at ~145,000,000. The poulation of Mongolia is ~2,000,000 and the armed forces number 25,000. Get it?"
