Reduce impact of very weak or very high strength countries on # of joining spots

[Lone Wolf]

I do think the current formula for caluclating # of joining spots gives a substantial improvement in balancing country joining on strength base.

There is one drawback: the infuence of very weak and very strong countries on the average value is very big.

I propose to remove lowest and highest countries from list before calculating average like this:

21-30 countries alive: remove 2 weakest and 2 strongest countries 11-20 countriesalive > remove weakest and strongest 1 - 10 countries alive: no countries removed

TLK used to have 3 war phases :

early wars (mostly 1on 1wars) mid-round : many wars involving 2 to 4 countries per war in a limited area of map end wars : The strongest 4-8 countries left battle it out

I expect this change will result in more joining spots for medium strength countries. That should result in more active countries and hopefully bring back the mid-round wars
