I've made a few small tweaks to the game's public game generator. Included are as follows:
1. Small adjustment to map probabilities
2. I've dropped in logic which should (in theory) more evenly spread games out amongst three eras (1950-1969, 1970-1989, 1990-present). Amongst preliminary tests of the tweak, while the old set up had an unbalanced spread, the new formula had virtually a 1:1:1 spread between the three options. This does in no way garauntee any particular year will pop up. it's still random. just... a little less random, slightly.
3. I've modified it also to start using some new maps. Possibilities prior to this change were: full world, gate based worlds, continent based/grouped worlds, or individual countries. Now there's 5 possible country grouped maps that might pop up. the EU27, Former USSR, "Ring of Fire", Iberian Peninsula, and something to the effect of Colonizing the Americas. Thanks to Rick for his help in coming up with these maps, likely soon a map generation forum will be set up and periodically the groupings possible in public world generation will be tweaked.
That is all.

Great Work, Will.
*Im gettin sick of 1970 ~ 1990 worlds*

Are you testing this out in Beta too? :o

Hmm, seems good to me so far, though I hope we get to play with a full world for future rounds without having to stick out paid tokens and not be restricted to a certain areas of the globe.

If any of these scenarios pop-up, a link (or a hover-over) to a description to the game--i.e., what countries are included--would be great appreciated.
In fact, links and/or hover-overs describing the various options set for the world would be great--especially since there are about 4 (?) different Large World settings.
