Why wasn't there any mid-season news this season? Was waiting to hear about an Asian merger.

We are currently evaluating the African merge to see how to proceed. Other merges will be possible the season after the next one at the earliest, for obvious reasons, if we decide to do them.

Merges plural. Two? Three? Where might they be? What size countries are we talking about? The largest country to be merged so far is South Africa with less than 16 managers. Is that the limit or is it higher? For example would Japan and New Zealand be candidates for a merge? Will there be one merge for Asian countries or two since it's a very large continent? I could think of a plethora of other questions that should be answered but since I don't expect an answer I'll leave it at just these.

What is there to evaluate? They have close games every game day. It seems like a success to me.
Get these other mergers done already. Competition is key to keep the users you have...nobody wants to play 10 bot games in a 22 game season.

What an interogatory! Keep calm my friend! And have patience.

I've been asking questions, generally very reasonably, since the first merge was announced. I've never received an answer. I think I'm being far more patient than most people would be.

Good for compétition but still bad for national teams. Think about all things ;)

These are just some of the variables that need to be decided upon for every possible merge. Yes, there are several planned as we need to group countries by many parameters, the most important being similar game start time (geographic closeness).

Who gives a sh*t about one game a week when the other three games suck? I don't care about the NT at all. I want competition. Competition is wants makes this game fun and right now in most micros there is no competition. Pretty soon we will be under 15K users and the BB is talking about 2018/19. That is crazy!! The time to change is now!!
