The hotfix went in early yesterday morning. It is in fact, in effect now. I played some last night, and from the general gist of the battles, I think I like it better this way...maybe. I'll need more time playing with it in effect before I'll know for sure, but as it is, now the fights are much more spread out. Instead of one pop-locked continent per empire with almost everyone else just sitting in the WGs trying to get in to that continent, there are sometimes 2 pop-locked continents and one or two <100+ continents per empire, which gives you a much wider variety of continents to choose from. Another, slightly less intentional effect of this is now you know more often which fights have moderately sized forces as the max population per empire is lowered (before, there could be a large sized force on a continent, but no one would really know because there would still be 100+ positions available. Now, with the same sized force on a continent there would be < 100+ showing so people will know there's a good sized force of friendlies there).
