small usability improvement (generating battles)
 

A small usability poposal: If you create a battle, quit the battle (to alter settings etc.), you have to set the parameters (time, country, etc.) again.

If it's not too much coding effort: Perhaps that could be addressed in one of the next patches?

There is a prefs button on the battle setup screen why not just check settings first?

Re: small usability improvement (generating battles)
 

No, I do not mean the preferences but the general settings (country, type of engagement etc.). The preference are stored, yes.

That the visibility changes I think is ok...it's just for randomization. But the other settings are restored to the default settings, as defined in the Game Options. So, personally I would appreciate if those Game Options are only considered after Winspmbt is started.

Not entirely sure what you after then, setting default sides date on splash screen saves them as start point for generated battles. I would not like meeting type saved as used to it defaulting to meeting.

I think what you are asking for is the game keep the nation and year / month you picked while in the game instead of resetting to the ones pre-picked in Game Options so you don't have to reset each time. The problem with that is the game only reads that file at start up and does not write to it every time you exit a battle and I'm betting for every person a change like that would make happy there are people would prefer it go back to the game options settings

Yes, I understand. That's the issues with User Interface: everybody works a little different and making everything configurable is effort.
