    I can say it is somewhat common to observe a game (or two) while waiting in a staging window or the lobby for a game of your own to start. @RoiEX it would be good to know a couple things as well specifically regarding the updated behavior: A) would the lobby window closes when connecting to a game? Currently it does not, would this change? B ) assuming the lobby window stays open, what would happen if a user did try to connect to a second game We can maybe pull stats from DB for how often a player connects to multiple games, I don't think it is rare per-say. It is a question though whether the "hassle" to fire up another TripleA instance manually, login to lobby again, all to join a second or a third game would be a major annoyance.

    I suppose it is worth pointing out that a 'revert' in git is just an undo update. The code history in Git is write-once. Git never deletes anything. So, in a revert update, based on the reverted change: any lines that were added are removed, and any removed lines are re-added. So, a revert is a new update, it just an inverted update to cancel out a previous one. Revert PRs are not at all special to Git, it's just another update. Once a revert is merged, a person can revert the revert update, add more changes to it, and then merge all of that as one bundle. So, a flow might be like this (the letters on the left hand side represent the commit ID, AKA the commit SHA): a43ae Some update that introduced a bug 3ads2 Revert: Some update that introduced a bug fae54 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug + Bug Fix Changes to the code base are "squashed" together. When a person clicks the revert for the revert, that creates a new proposed change. Bug fixes can be added to that proposed change, then it'll all be squashed together as a single commit that is then released. For example, when reverting the revert, this change would be proposed: abc12 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug In that proposed change, we can add the bug fix, eg: abc12 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug fea23 Bug fix Then, when merged, that would land on the main branch and in the history as one commit, eg: fae54 Revert: Revert: Some update that introduced a bug + Bug Fix

    @LaFayette I personally prefer the old look but that is mostly because I am used to it. But if the new look is better for long-term development then I would go for that.

    @thedog downloaded the 393 and started a game. It's working great and the AI is much faster. Now I have a more challenging game and stronger allies & axis bots.

    @johnnycat you raise good questions: Is the answer time and programmers? Or just programmers or just time? Or management ? Does it come down to Money? If the answers are: yes, no, maybe, and only on weekends, how could I and others help? Time and programmers is the biggest need. Every bug fix and issue probably takes 2 to 16 hours to fix. This is the biggest gap. Further, TripleA is a larger code base that is very brittle. Making that codebase be easier to work with would help. Money is useful for keeping the servers running and paying the monthly bills. As much as I would love to be payed for TripleA work, paying any type of reasonable developer wage becomes way too much very quickly. Additional management would be helpful. Getting issues sorted, cleanly stated, boiled down to a bare minimum would all be helpful.

    @kindwind It would seem that training against random games would be every inefficient compared to training against the AI that TripleA comes with.TripleA is not Go, random play should be very bad.

    @kindwind Efforts You seem to have in mind using a neural net style AI to play TripleA. I suspect that this we actually be quite difficult given the huge number of possible board positions.You might be better off using a very small mod like Minimap even without a large record of games to train it. TripleA's own AI can be used for training.

    @ubernaut yeah, redoing MARTI would potentially save us $10/month on costs as well. I think redoing the bots with 'network relay' might be higher up on the list. That will save a ton of code, create an effective infinite number of bots, and save us maybe like $25/month. The 'network relay' will be an update where the bots will just be responsible for only forwarding network packets. Today, a bot is basically an entire player but is made somewhat invisible. We are bounded by the amount of RAM on a host for how many bots we can host. If bots are just sending network packets, they'll take up very little RAM. We'll only be bounded by network traffic. We could theoretically run dozens of bots per host instead just 3 to 5. This should cut our bot host count down from the current 6 or 8 today to maybe 2. I think there might be some quick wins with the server's as well. AT least for me, I might be inclined to do a quick ELO system before redoing MARTI.

    @rogercooper Not yet. I'm thinking to bump the version number to '2.8' when all of these updates are ready. The '2.8' release announcement will be when it is ready. These backend changes are most of what we are waiting for.

    @ubernaut What I have learned - in almost two decades of assisting people with TripleA - is that problems in many cases are not related to TripleA itself but to a general (not ) understanding of PC, Operating Systems and computer / software procedures.

    @beelee In Stalingrad it is only a priority. On all other ways it is a normal combat roll and the targeted unit fires back normally.

    @RogerCooper I missed your earlier question and didn't quite address it in my last response to ubernaut.

    Updates can be rolled back from the Github (GH) web-UI by clicking buttons.

    First, find the PR with the update that should be rolled back and find the 'revert' button. Click that, GH will create a PR with a revert for the update. That can then be merged like any ordinary update. All of that can be done with button clicks, for example:

    Note the revert button in bottom right:

    Then, in the new PR that is created by GH, clicking 'auto-merge' will merge the update once the build checks have passed:

    Indeed, this is already addressed here: https://github.com/triplea-game/triplea/issues/14440

    Also this is independent from the new release and new dice-server.

    Yeah, that's the issue I was looking at when I had problems with PBF.
