Details:
There is consensus on #wesnoth-mp and elsewhere that 1v1 mirror matches (I.E.
Elves vs Elves) are not as interesting as other matchups. This is, IMHO not
an issue for 2v2 games, but it is for 1v1 games on the multiplayer server.
Many times, a 1v1 game is aborted as soon as the players realize they are
fighting a mirror match.
I propose a check-box that the host could set as an option while creating the
game, that would reduce the frequency of mirror matches. I think that this
would be the best option for players, so that they can still have the
occasional mirror, but it is more of an interesting rarity rather than a
common occurrence.
I would suggest reducing the probability of getting a mirror match in a 1v1
game from 1/6 to 1/20 or perhaps 1/25.
Other factors and my suggestions:
* This should only be applicable to 1v1 games, I think trying to do it for
larger games is not desirable.
* I think this option should be checked by default.
* An alternative would be to have a slider that you could drag to a desired
frequency of mirror matches - this would be better, but perhaps more work.
* Another alternative would be to just have a box to disallow mirror matches,
if this were much easier. I would rather have such a box than nothing at all.
