I would humbly suggest using people to fix a people problem, not technology ;-) Progress will never accurately measure how far a game is along in terms of deciding the victor . Assuming you can put one number out there which will work for all games at the same time, that's a bold claim and one I can...

Please check the new forum section "BGA release notes" to find out about this change.

Thank you, vincentt, for continuing to work on your games after the initial release, and for the excellent documentation here. Stands out from most others!
