Default Re: Interface query

Certain maps can set which players already in the game or make certain ones unavailable. So you can choose the players first and have some maps greyed out, or choose the map first and have some player-nations greyed out. I think generally people are more interested in playing a particualr nation than a particular map so I think it works better the way it is to select the nation and THEN have it show what maps you can play on.

As far as undoing things, NOTHING is absolute until you hit "host". So if you feel you have made a BIG mistake you can always hit "esc" and "quit without save" then come in again. There is probably an easier way to restart the turn but thats one I know works.

end turn, click turn (not host), click 'redo from beginning'.

Will those "redo" tricks also work in MP when on a network? It seems as soon as I hit "e" as a shortcut (and ugh I misspelled and hit that by accident once) it hosts. Since then, when playing MP network, I live in fear. Sort of wish it could be otherwise.

You can change your turn in a mp-network game as long as the server isn't ready to host yet. So, no fear if there are slow people playing with you.

You can probably quit-without-saving and reconnect to the host. That way no turn is submitted. I think.

edit: someone should test it
