So we are in agreement then, less rules for people to read, more tweaks to mod that has the creation of, and therefore reading of, such rules, complete unnecessary?

For example:

I found these two misc edits to be particularly popular:

"Set buildings to be buildable only in provinces (from game map view). 0 – Disable, 1 - Enable (Ports, Air Bases, Nuclear Reactors, Rocket Test Sites), 2 - Enable ( 1 + provincial AA and Radars)".

It is unrealistic and gamey to build several air fields and radars just to have them in limbo and as soon as you conquer a critical province, you will put them all down.

Likewise, it is popular to edit to misc under "If Blue Prints can be sold to non-allied countries. 0 = No, 1 = Yes (player could offer BP), 2 = Yes (player could offer and ask for BPs)" and set it to no. This is because there is now no need to put a rule in that says "You are not allowed to sell blue prints to neutral nations for resources", since that is widely considered a chore to do if legal, and will just put the technological level out of balance.

Similarly, but a bit more advanced is to set the misc file on the line "Added extra upgrade progress to units in supply." to 0, so that you are required to spend IC to upgrade units. This, in combinations with a tweak to the files in the divisions folder, can disable many cheats and exploits, without the need for players to read many rules.

But your reply was so vague I still don't know if we agree with each other or not.
 
My special MP Mod have many special MP-events and settings, which replace many mp-rules.
That is, some MP-abuses are technically protected and there is no need to prescribe them in the Rules.


Although if you want to play not a childish chaotic noob-game, but serious smart MP game with team strategy, MP rules are absolutley necessary.
For example, here are MP-Rules of our multiplayer community, which acquired the current view after 12 years of smart MP games.

#############################
Attention! This is minimal Short List of the Rules of Multiplayer Game, that all newcomers should know!
Players playing as key Majors (GER, SOV, ENG, USA, JAP) should know the Full Rules!

- forbidden to sell/transfer units between countries. (!!Except for cases which are specially stipulated by the Full List Of Rules!!)

- forbidden disbanding of the Units in wartime, if they are located in an active war theater and have the lack of supply directly from the capital (for example - Malta/Cyprus)
