  For beating the Ai, oh I wanted to mention that using Low Luck dice is a massive help and if I didn't use Low Luck dice I bet I would have played way more games trying to beat the Ai so basically Low Luck dice is a bigger help against a machine opponent than a real person I am positive eh?

  Actually, probably better being only a display thing for the lobby (not displaying the game name in lobby if 0 people inside), as keeping it loaded is important for people that disconnect, not to lose their savegames (but they would lose it anyways if someone else go in the bot and load it up).

  @cernel I just loaded up Feudal Japan with the latest code and let the first 2 nations play their turn and they both attacked minor clan territories... so not sure what you mean: 0_1524447532663_save_Feudal_Japan.tsvg

  Yah. Having to write it down for each player I believe is the main drawback of the new bonus system, as I pointed out. Tho probably a way to assign it to all players sharing the same type would cover better, like in case you solo a FFA with many players. Following your proposal, rather better the button just sharing all possible settings for the player amongst the alliance; also easier to document in the tooltip.

  @redrum Thanks for doing this, it works quite well. I will put it to good use. @Cernel That sounds like a good solution, to remove (or limit) the max button for zero cost purchases. We shall see if abuse of this feature becomes a problem once a map-maker implements it and we can see how players use it.

  @redrum said in Autosave in Bots: @prastle I think he's more asking if there would be a way to have the bot server send the autosaves to each player's local machine so if that bot freezes or the player wants to switch bots then they have the saves locally as well. Yeah, that was the plan. No need to have them on the server, just local. And it could overwrite the previous save. And maybe only the player on turn will get it

  @captain-crunch @redrum Yes, I totally understand. I'm sure there is a list a mile long. I was hoping it wouldn't be too hard since all the coding is already written for the Battle Calculator, but I still love the game the way it is!

  @irontooth if you don't want a separate mod you can change stats by making a custom tech that changes the unit stats.

  @cernel Not besides @ his username. Given that I already have the PR to address this posted, I'm sure he'll see it when he has some time.

  @cernel I'd rather move towards being consistent with how the bottom bar displays it with the +/- right next to the amount in parenthesis. So other areas in the UI could probably use bold text as well but gotta start somewhere.

  @general_zod Never tried, but I'm almost sure it should not. However, since this option was made many years before steps existed, it may be related to the name of the momement phase only; so, you can try to have a named non combat movement phase with the steps turning it into a combat movement one, see if it fools the option into working during CM. Anyways, as I said, as it is, this option is really limited, as you can only use it for territories not touching two adjacent sea zones and only in case no other adjacent sea zones are touched by territories that touch other naval bases. I don't know if the issue of allowing keeping moving of 1 more again and again is the reason why it is years since any maps used it, if I've not overlooked some, but it would be an almost unavoidable reason for me to not considering it.

  @redrum How about restricting it to apply only to games that have at least 1 same named unit, in the battlecalculator, shared between each and all selectable (not hidden, not null) players in the game? While not absolutely safe, it would be a fairly consistent way to identify those games that have very different frontiers, and may just happen to share a few units here and there. I can't think of an available game for which this would not be fine, as long as TWW never gets any of those shared units in the battlecalculator (as I assumed).

  @redrum I think it woud be just better letting the mapmakers able to define if a movement 0 or cannot combat move unit should stay at the start or at the end or somewhere else in the list, by their order in the production frontier. Alternatively, I would go with the battlecalculator order (so, a 0/1 immobile unit would be first, and a 0/4 immobile unit would be last). For the problem of defence only units pushing the defence listing only down (like in the case of your first image, in which the alpine infantry is pushed down from 1st to 3rd position by the two immobile units), deteriorating simmetry, I've opened this f.r., that would cover that (the solution would be pushing down the attacking alpine infantry too, leaving empty spaces): https://forums.triplea-game.org/topic/695/always-align-the-same-named-units-in-the-battlecalculator-if-any

  @beelee might try "TransportC8 D1 (already available) " if subs get out of Line. Seems ok so far though, ( U-Boats just took a beating as I type this ) but "Those Boys been in Dry Dock too Long". : ) With a C5 DD it'd no longer be the Fodder Unit. Also, just noticed, if a DD is fired on in CM while going to another SZ, You cannot move through that zone in NCM due to it have been being in a "Combat Zone". Another boost for the DD : ) Oops ! Sorry just realized probably not the right spot for this : )

  @redrum I would rather go with something like this: Both side bars being shrinkable at will, also under the limits of the minimap and the writings. The minimap shrinkable too, but keeping the X/Y ratio. An option for forcing the two side bars to have the same wideness, in the menu. The left side bar would be substituted by the history bar, when in history only. Also, when you shrink the left bar (with the units), the units eventually zoom smaller when the sidebar is slimmed so much that they would otherwise be cut, so that you can have that left side bar, with the units, veeery slim (people don't like to lose board space).
