It would be nice to have another page in the game setting with some convenient way to add a new parameter. I think the best would be to leave a keyboard input into a box. These new values would have to be passed to the other players of course. I think it's done into the "game." object right ? I would also like a easy way (in the code) to define new presets. So we could preset the default but also probably a "quick" game or a "epic" game or whatever tuning players happen to find enjoyable.
I'm not asking you to actually make those settings useful in the game but just to make them possible into the game setting screen please.
I think this will really help people make some mods in the game. I have some few ideas to try myself, probably other people will have some other propositions. Actually i'm not dragging much attention with my research modifiers suggestion but I tried it many times and I feel it's actually enjoyable. It need just a little change in research.c and people who don't like that change could juste leave the two parameters to 1 and they would never see any difference.
The same page would be also a neat progress for the power setting. actually we only have 3 predefined choices for power input. Some people like when they have even more power and they make special maps to achieve this effect, but this is a bit sad because they can play like this in the conventionnal map and we can really play a low ressource game in theirs.
I'm sure that we'll also find other tuning to add on this page that would not completely destroy the balance of the game. This is not about changing the game, but about giving choices to players. Many params are like fixed into the stone not because this is the only way the game can run but just because it would change the "feel" of the game.
But...if we ahd the choice between each game...
