Also, the code for switching ladder seasons have been updated, so we won´t auto-end all games that have played more than 15 turns. Current rules for seasonend are like this:
1. All laddergames that have played less than 11 turns will continue.
2. All laddergames that have played more than 10 turns will be checked. If one player (or team) holds more than 70% of the game resources* that player/team will be declared winner and the game will be ended. Otherwise it will continue.
3. All laddergames that contine will be counted towards the next season instead.
During my recent testrun, this meant that about only 10% of the games that are ongoing and > 10 turns would be auto-ended, so its a huge difference compared to last seasonend. We think this change will improve the ladder
* Game resources are calculated based on number of units, hero levels, cities, and buildings owned by the players.
