Fix Request

That'd be an annoyance in test games where you regularly advance a ton of turns at once and just let them stale.

Well, just make it a game option, like renaming commanders.

Nah, that would cause more unforseen problems than it's worth since switching to AI is permanent (unless that were changed too). It isn't that hard to keep track of players and switch them to AI if their being problematic.

In fact, it's very hard (impossible, actually) if a password has been set and there's no master password. This situation is very common on the mosehansen server, and just one instance of it effectively disables quickhosting.

The big headache with the "2 stales equal AI" is that there is no changing it back.

There is a way to stale a player and still not have a quickturn problem. If mosehansen wasnt to incorporate it into his web-hosting I can send him the answer.

That would be excellent! Mose isn't very active here - your best chance of making him aware of this is to post in his thread: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/cgi-bin...;f=74;t=001453
