OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Changes to League Strategy Occuring When Not Supposed To

After further testing, changes to these settings appear to be driven by the era_stats file.

As feedback, this is very counter intuitive. It means it isn't possible to create a league that plays the same statistical style for a prolonged period without modifying the era_stats file directly -- unless you want to only sim one year at a time and manually change certain things back. Having a setting to fix stats and have the modifiers automatically adjust + the ability to enable/disable strategy changes implicitly suggests this is not how the game works.

It might be out of scope for v23, but splitting the era_stats file to break out stuff that impacts strategy should be considered. Also, I would suggest normalizing the stats in era_stats to be per 100k AB to make year to year changes easier to understand. I have an excel file that does this based on just copying in the raw data if there's official interest.
