Comment 9 for bug 896099

"On what grounds do you decide that what the player chose to make his game is wrong?"

I think I got what you mean. A player should get the freedom to chose whatever he wants, right? Ok, maybe he is willing to play a game mode with units only as short game... or "crate war" without crates. But these inconsistent settings are mostly done accidently.

I understand the reasons why you don't like this "feature". Right, it's nothing new. This feature isn't essential. You just help players which are are too lazy to use their brains or read the manual. But you could look at it as a bugfix. If game mode X says [YuriCountry]->Multiplay=no, why can I still play with Yuri? Of course, the modder can replace Yuris starting unit with Tanya waving a big flag, which shows "You donkey selected an invalid country." Would be funny... :-) Or let Yuris MCV deploy into a silver screen with the same message. But that's a lot of work, too. And the missetting could have been detected earlier. But I know, I am just repeating my arguments. :-) If you were not convinced before, you won't be convinced now.

I am not concerned about bugs regarding to this issue. They can be detected very early in a game. I would love to find and report them. Bugs, which require specific game situation, look more complicated to me, because it always takes a reasonable amount of time to reprocude them.
