Default Re: Changing default config

I'm not sure if this is really a bug or just weird behaviour ;-)

Actually, it's only impossible to take back some menue selection which has been preset by command-line option.

Setting up a game goes like this:
new game => choose map => select Era => choose players => game settings

In your case, it's the "--era 1" that prevents you from going back.
If you leave that one out, you can cancel back to the era-selection screen, but not to the map selection screen, because you pre-set the map with "--mapfile" as well.

But I agree that there should be at least a possiblity to cancel the game setup when running full-screen. ALT-TAB and killing the process isn't the way to do it, and even ALT-ENTER to switch to windowed version to get the "X" in the windows' window frame to appear isn't really that hot either :/

I'll put it into the bug database, but I cannot assure we'll get a fix for this ... .
