The recent update just changed a solo victory from 60% to 51%, coalition/team victories from 80% to 70%, and 2-team/1-on-1 maps from 90% to 80%.
Realistically, war would either end through diplomacy or conquering the entire world. Since this is a simplified board game mechanic, we go for conquering the world, but instead of forcing one to take over the entire map, we only need to determine where people are very unlikely to make a comeback (say 95% of players win when reaching x% of the VP, the game could probably end then).
A solo victory is typically uncommon in active games, this decrease makes it a lot simpler for this to happen. I have no problems with this as long as the map has more than 3 normally playable nations.
The 2-team/1-on-1 maps apparently decreased from a required 90% VP to 80% VP. And since one of these sides have to win, delaying the end with high requirements is all you can do. The change once again has no issues with me because it's hard to come back when you have 20% of the VP/land.
Now, the coalition/team victory lowered from 80% to 70%. I personally think this was a bit much because coalition victories are fairly easy, if it was 75%, I would be satisfied.
Anybody else have any thoughts regarding the VP requirements?
