That's doable, but would require fairly complex logic. I would be surprised if Markus would consider biting that off in a patch release--and maybe not even in 2008. That's for him to say, of course. I have no real idea what his code base is like.

Good point. That seems like something that probably can't be effectively remedied at any point in the near future. I think we just need to pick our poison and live with it. If I was just simming out a long stretch of history, I'd probably tend to go with the neutral ballparks, but if I was playing "in-game," I'd probably go with differing ballpark effects to add to the strategy of the game.
