Now if we really want to reduce the number of ideals I'd ask which ones you would get rid of? I don't think the "number of ideals" isn't the issue. Rather, it is the system that expects or encourages there to be 7-12 policies grouped into "ideals" in a similar manner to the others. I think lists of...

But since I'm here: Anyone around willing to play my game when I can't?

Can the authentication system support multiple allowed players for one empire?

Perhaps the moderator user type should have some way to adjust the player-empire associations and turn timing settings?

How about each starting species gives you 1 policy slot. Then there are 3 buildings that each give a different policy slot. Then there are 3 techs (early, mid and late game) that give economic policy slots, 3 techs (early, mid and late game) that give military slots, and 3 techs (early, mid and lat...

On first sight this would break the condition concept. So either this needs to be implemented outside of conditions or the conditions concept needs be expanded/substituted (i think both needs backing by geoff). Could you summarize specifically or with an example of what this would do? Another maybe...

As far as policy slots go, I suppose I should ask how many policy slots you ultimately want the player to have. This is a balance concern as the number of slots will determine how valuable policies actually are and how they are balanced against each other. 3-6 per category. "ultimately" implies end...

What governments exist? What effects (if any) do those governments have? What and how many policy slots do those governments have? None. How do we get new policy slots? Techs and buildings, currently. Slots are counted by an empire meter, so any content could add more, such as species or specials o...

The Government window is now a floating independent resizable window rather than a full-screen display, as suggested.

This would be a crazy amount of work, likely create countless problems, and lastly I'm doubtful it will significally enhance the game. Remember, KISS. That said, I think at this point I'd defer the final decision to Geoff (as acting project and design lead) - Geoff? Don't know how closely you've be...

I don't recall, has this feature already been merged into master, or is development of this feature still going on in an unmerged branch? In the latter case, see above, my proposal is not to merge feature branches at this point anymore. Geoff is actively developing on the Government branch - I can ...

Slightly different error on the server in that log...

I'm not sure what the issue actually is... Perhaps the binary saves option helps, but from the log i'm guessing not. It's a bit notable that all the AI clients are taking a really long time to parse all the script files... All of them seem to have the last 2 minutes of log files just with parsing lo...

The times in the server and client logs don't match. It appears you've attached logs from two different runs of the game. It's thus difficult to tell if the client did something that caused the server crash. 08:54:59.735139 [debug] timer : ScopedTimer.cpp:34 : parse_file "SP_TRENCHERS.focs.txt" time...

I've added some extra logging and some error-safety to some code that might be relevant to the errors reported here. Hopefully will help or narrow down the problem with the next test build.

What if make diplomacy actions into turn orders? Then there would be situations where players agree between eachother by chatting or external communication that they want to make peace, or some other diplomatic agreement on the current turn, but can't get the diplomacy system to consider them agree...

An issue with this is that diplomacy is (at least presently) not synchronized with turn cycling. So, a player can send a diplomatic message at any time, and could react to any receive messages at any time, with or without a server turn cycle happening between any of the steps... So how / when exactl...
