OK, well someone ought to try to keep to your thread
Kevin. Especially since you were kind enough to clarify your original post.
The guess I would hazard is that DoomDark and others really responsible for implementing the IGC will likely be beta testing come September and there will be a corresponding drop in IGC activity because of anticipation of EU2 features and bc the people involved with mods/scens will probably be busy doing the betas.
But there will be some activity for the short term and then I would expect we would have reached a point by October that everyone will focus on EU2.
So, my guess is that IGC/IGC+ developments will go on for a few months but that it will ratchet down significantly in the next 60 days. As to the "end state" of the exercise? Well, I think there isn't ALOT more to do with what we have available to tweak. Certainly the IGC changes for nations etc can go on for a while to realize an optimum mix, but that too is reaching saturation. The IGC+ will change in resposne to the IGC proper, and the changes here too will be minor unless State, Errant, and Cunctator come up with significant insights to advance changes.
I think this is all good. I am very excited about EU2 and can't wait to play and tool around with it myself. I'll bet Doomie, perhaps more than anyone else who comes ot this forum is relieved as well as excited about EU2. There is just only so much that can be done with EU1 before it becomes too familiar.
