well, I intended to have it be the default the "old alliance" system can be obtained by setting/locking the right set of parameters. so the separation between FFA and team game would not exist per-se in the game engine. Instead the host can set/lock any parameters at game creation time. So the host can emulate the old way if he wants to (we could provide shortcuts to make that easy, but the idea stays) _______________________________________________ Wesnoth-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/wesnoth-dev
