Rules changes schedule

[Guinness]

In the past, we've tinkered with the ruleset when we thought it was necessary. This happened often.

In order to try to be more predictable and easier to follow, instead of making rules changes whenever it seems like we need to, we're going to move to a system where rules changes are rolled out every other game year, on the even years. Or in other words, in the same years where population increases and gameplay bonuses are awarded. That is, unless something is really really really really broken and needs addressing immediately, a scenario I'd like to avoid at nearly all cost.

If we'd like we can think of it this way: 1918 was the first rules change under that system. So the next possible rules change window would be in 1920.

Next expected rule update cycle, if any, will be in 1922...
