Moderator Notes
Starting now, Stats, Techs, and Tech Progress will be kept graphically, in the form of the following three Infographics (the front page will be updated to reflect this):
Soon units will also be easily visible in a nice little tooltip like this. As they are now, that’s too much real estate for too little info.
Sorry for the delayed update, it was a long one punctuated by a lot of work for frivolous non-NES related things. I also really wanted to push out the stats and tech update just because the longer I put it off, the more annoying it’d become. It’s better this way. ^_^;
Some of you may be wondering by my odd decision regarding the handling of Dedessa when Ateuma attacked it. By all rights, after the first combat, that should have been it. But a rule which I had in my private notes but never had officially published maintained that all Stalemates had to be settled by a grudge match that I termed a “Struggle,” and in my mind this was the default result to the kind of situation Ateuma found itself in. But as I was getting prepared to do the Struggle, I decided to check the front page to confirm that I had made the rule official - I had not. Pondering if I should have Ateuma retreat, I decided to go ahead with my previously unannounced rule because the official rules had nothing to say about a Stalemate situation. I therefore stood no risk of contradicting myself by pulling a rule out of nowhere, and I decided the precedent it would set outweighed the cost of deploying a ninja rule-out-of-nowhere. At any rate, that’s why this is a beta. *anime sweatdrop face... again*
@Daft: I'll be sure to incorporate your graphical requests for the next update. I'm afraid it was too much too late this time. *yet another anime sweatdrop face*

Seriously, though, thanks, I don't have an issue if I wouldn't get anything from it, it just feels good to have some sort of recognition. ^^
