New maps: United States, Europe 1814, Falkland Islands and the Oregon Cities map received a major revision.
There have been several minor updates to the interface.
The way points are calculated for two player games has changed. The formula is the same except in the case where one player has more than twice as many points as the other player. In that case the player will only lose twice as many points as the other player. With the old formula, for example, a high ranked player could lose 33 points and a low rank player would only lose 7 points, but now the high ranked player will only lose 14 points. The high ranking player now only has to win 2 out of 3 games in order to keep the same amount of points. Whereas before it could be the case that they would have to win 6 out of 7 games in order to keep their points the same.
The change was made to encourage experienced high ranking players to play with new players in order to get more live 2 player games played and so that experienced players would help new players learn how the site works. It was the case that no higher ranked players would play 2 player games because many 2 player games are determined by luck and they would end up losing too many points.
