This idea was mentioned in the Tides of War thread, so I thought it would be good to talk about it separately, without spamming the mod discussion thread
I can only imagine how much testing a balance mod requires. Some of it can probably be done against AI, but its main purpose and where it shines is against human opponents. So, with release of Tides of War, I think a PBEM is in order
Considering it would be a test game for a new mod, good reporting will be essential. There were a few poorly reported games recently (including one I'm playing in
) - hope this would not be one of them
