There are WAY too many subcategories for this game. I need to zoom out Chrome to 25% to see it all, and even then, I can only barely see the actual times. There's no way that each and every subcategory present makes a significant enough difference to warrant this many of them. Please, for the sake of the board, clean this up as soon as possible.

It's not that bad, I mean i can see everything properly and there are a lot of categories to run. win win

There are still way too many subcategories. The Devil May Cry 3 leaderboard recently changed their rankings from listing every single separate release of the game to just Console and PC, because, to quote DECosmic, "The amount of subcategories on [that] board [made] actual competition a joke." A subcategory should be created for a game if that subcategory makes a significant enough difference. I fail to see how there's a grand total of 2788 distinctly different ways to form a civilization in this game. At least put the lesser-run scenarios on the Category Extensions board.

@finnaboing Currently I have been in process of trying to reduce the subcategories but most of them can't be because they are their own categories, before there was also another subcategories that were currently deleated , also a big amount of scenarios were put on miscelaneous with some formable civilizations, It's not hard to understand which is which, they have a lot of differences between subcategories, it's not the same to run Victory% in Modern World than in Football War, The category extensions are more for just memes, not for not speedrunned categories.

@finnaboing The formable civilizations are their own things and that's why they are there, If they weren't such a big change they would not be there, I tried to keep only the things that can be easily known, I know there are a lot of subcategories but I can't put all Modern Worlds in the same one or unite a lot of scenarios, they are their own thing, bad thing would be separating also iOS from android and PC which are innecessary subcategories, all the subcategories are their own categories and every formable civilization it's their own thing, they can't be put in the same category than others, even if there are a lot of subcategories those are the ones the game itself can offer, all other type of subcategories were deleated.

@finnaboing You can't compare a subcategory for editions with a subcategory for playing, it's like telling me to unite things that aren't the same, unite complete different categories under 1 name.

Here's an idea: instead of cramming every single scenario into one Formable Civilizations% category, you could have each separate scenario and its Civilizations as its own category. I'm pretty sure at least some of the civilizations can't be formed in each scenario, so that way you can remove subcategories that aren't actually possible.

@finnaboing I will think about it, thanks for the idea.

I could definitely see separate categories for the most popular scenarios(so mostly Modern and 1440 I think) while the rest can remain as is, so that for the most part you can avoid the sub-category spam and only need to venture into there for more niche runs(and so we don't exchange sub-category spam for category spam)

Russia

IMO it would make more sense to have 1-5 different categories with strictly defined scenario, civilization and goal, (for example, as Germany in WW2, form Greater German Reich. And it will be called Germany%).
