## Description:
I hope we can get this into v30?
The nation count is configurable now, just like the bot count.
Replaced the "Disable Nations" toggle with a nations slider (0–400) in
SinglePlayer and Host Lobby modals.

/>
Public games are staying exactly the same, this is just for singleplayer
and private lobby fun.
Youtubers could play HvN against 400 nations, for example.
Singleplayer enjoyers no longer have to play against 1 nation in HvN,
they can freely choose.
`GameConfig.disableNations: boolean` got replaced by `nations: number
(0-400, optional)`
`undefined` = map default,
`0` = disabled,
number = custom count
Nations slider defaults to the map's nation count, shows "(MAP DEFAULT)"
label when unchanged
Compact map toggle reduces nations to 25% when at default, restores when
toggled off (just like we already do with bots)
The nation count for HvN no longer automatically matches the human count
in singleplayer and private games, only in public games.
**What if there aren't enough nations configured for the map?**
We just use the HvN logic (Generate random nations)
### Warning
**This infra PR also needs to get merged:
https://github.com/openfrontio/infra/pull/263
Otherwise players can set 0 nations and get achievements.**

## Description:
1. Using the wording `"Nation"`, `"FakeHuman"` and `"NPC"` at the same
time is confusing.
So I renamed every mention of `"FakeHuman"` and `"NPC"` in the entire
project to `"Nation"`. Just like they are called ingame.
2. `BotBehavior.ts` was originally intended for sharing the logic
between nations and bots.
But at the moment, the logic there isn't really shared and it's
basically just about attacking.
So I renamed `BotBehavior.ts` to `AiAttackBehavior.ts`. I use "Ai" to
indicate that this file is used by bots AND nations.
3. Moved `execuction/utils/AllianceBehavior.ts` to
`execuction/nation/NationAllianceBehavior.ts` to make sure everybody
understands that this file is not about alliances in general. It's just
about nations and how they handle alliances.
4. Removed `difficultyModifier` from `DefaultConfig`. It's unused and I
think we usually want to finetune the difficulty instead of using that
method.
5. Added `assertNever` in all `switch (difficulty)` default cases.

See PR https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO/pull/2203
It was reverted. This unreverts it, with an added fix for boat troops
not getting returned to owner. And small comment updates. And a const
for boatOwner to re-use.
The added bugfix is check for this.sourceTile === null in the retreat()
function in AttackExecution. A boat attack always sets removeTroops to
false because the troops were already removed from owner troops when the
boat departed. They don't have to be removed again in AttackExecution
init, when the boat lands and the attack starts. But at the end of the
attack, in retreat() in AttackExecution, the starting/boat troops still
need to be returned to the owner. That's why even if removeTroops is
false, when sourceTile is not null (only when it's a boat attack) we add
back the troops to the owner.

## Description:
Have AFK player's Warships not attack team members ships, like Transport
Ships boating in. If team mate conquers the AFK player, transfer over
Warships and Transport Ships to conqueror. The transfered Transport
ships attack in the name of the new owner when landing, and when they
are retreated they move back to a new owner shore tile if they have any.
Added tests. Expectation is this PR will be merged in v26 as the real
solution for the temporary workaround of deleting warships.
**Currently:**
- An AFK player can be attacked without troop loss by their team
members. For this purpose, isFriendly now returns false if the other
player isDisconnected
- But that meant Warships would get False from isFriendly too, and
attack the ships and boats of their team members.
- [Temporary workaround was to delete
warships](https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO/commit/eea8db7a06aed50c005db35ad55ece026f7a3643)
as soon as the player was deemed AFK. But this is a disadvantage to the
team. For example the AFK player could have 6 warships in the waters,
either defending team land or helping the team cross over to the enemy
team.
- Transport Ships that were on the way to attack, were still deleted
after the AFK player was conquered. But this is also a disadvantage, if
say a transport ship has just managed to breach through to the enemy
lands despite warships all around. That could have made the win for the
team.
(Left to think about: do we want to transfer part of the defender troops
to the isOnSameTeam attacker? Defender looses less troops in the attack
from their team mate. You'd expect troops to lay down their arms mostly,
if the attacker is on the same team and doesn't loose troops themselves.
Those troops that they loose less than normal, are then added to the
attacker once they've been deemed conqueror. The enemy team can still
attack and do normal damage, and can still also be the conqueror so the
team members have to be fast.)
**Changes in this PR:**
- GameImpl > conquerPlayer: Transfer ownership of the warships to the
conquerer of their lands. If the conqueror is not a team member (other
team can still attack, in their case with troop loss), they won't get
the warships and the ships will be deleted like normal. If the conqueror
is a team member, have them capture the warships.
(Captures need to happen in conquerPlayer since this is right before the
last tiles are conquered and PlayerExecution finds out the player is
dead and deletes its units. Captures will be recorded in the stats just
like normal. Things like this add an extra incentive to be the fastest
to conquer the AFK player, next to getting their gold which is also
recorded in stats. The normal Event Box messages are also displayed.)
- GameImpl > conquerPlayer: Also transfer Transport Ships. As a note:
the limit of 3 transport ships concurrently out on water for one player,
can be exceeded in this specific case (the boatMaxNumber is only checked
for canBuild via TransportShipUtils, and in the init of a
TransportShipExecution, not for an existing TransportShipExecution with
a changing owner). This keeps the situation even for the team in terms
of ships that are already out to attack, which is fair.
captureUnit/setOwner won't do the full job here though, so changes in
TransportShipExecution are needed.
- TransportShipExecution: Added originalOwner. So we can check within
the execution itself if the Original owner disconnected, and if so if
the new owner is on the same team. Only in that case change private
this.attacker. This.attacker can still not be changed from the outside
in this way. Find new src of new owner to retreat boat to if needed, and
if new owner has no shore set it to null so the boat will be deleted
upon retreat. To find new src tile of new owner, use
bestTransportShipSpawn instead of canBuild because canBuild checks for
max boats = 3 etcera but the boat is already on its way so those checks
don't apply (we could get false back from canBuild because there's 3
ships out, while we only need to find the source tile so use
bestTransportShipSpawn).
- TransportShipUtils: to use bestTransportShipSpawn to find new owner
source tile to retreat to, we need to make sure it can handle a new
owner without shore tiles. When the new owner has no shore tiles
(candidates.length === 0), return false. This way it won't go on to call
MiniAStar which would have SerialAStar error on an empty this.sources
array.
- WarshipExecution: Changed isFriendly. This makes sure we have the
wanted behavior: allied/team ships should not attack each other once one
of their owners goes AFK.
- AttackExecution: added one more test specifically to check if attack
on AFK teammate is still witthout troop loss "Player can attack
disconnected team mate without troop loss". Also a bugfix that I left in
after removing a related change from this PR: Add a check for
removeTroops === false in the retreat() function, so at the end of the
attack we don't add troops back to owner troops if they were never
removed in the init. This check in retreat() is actually a bug fix
because removeTroops is in the constructor and can be set to True, but
in retreat() troops would then have been given back after not being
removed at init.
- DefaultConfig: small addition to comment.
- Disconnected.test.ts: added tests. Added useRealAttackLogic because at
least "Player can attack disconnected team mate without troop loss"
needs to use the real attackLogic.
- TestConfig: new class useRealAttackLogic extends TestConfig class, so
a test setup can use the real attackLogic from DefaultConfig instead of
the mock function in TestConfig.
- Setup.ts: for the test setup, add parameter to accept
useRealAttackLogic extension class. Defaults to TestConfig.

## Description:
This PR implements a major refactoring of how map data is stored and
loaded, as described in #1242. Previously, map data (`.bin` files) was
bundled directly into the client-side JavaScript by Webpack using
`binary-loader`. This approach led to data duplication and increased
bundle/image sizes.
This refactoring changes the strategy entirely:
- `GameMapLoader` interface has been introduced to decouple the map
loading mechanism from the components that use it.
- New `FetchGameMapLoader` implementation loads map data by fetching it
from static server endpoint.
- Webpack configuration and `Dockerfile` have been updated to serve the
map files as static assets and to remove the source `resources/maps`
directory from the final image, thus eliminating data duplication.
This leads to several key improvements:
- Docker image size is reduced from ~750 MB to ~600 MB.
- Build time is decreased. On my local machine, the docker image build
time went from 48s to 43s.
Most of this speed-up comes from faster Webpack builds (reduced from 16s
to 11s), as it no longer needs to process large binary files. This
performance gain will be noticeable for all developers during local
development, not just in the CI workflow.

## Description:
Move map generation outside of main repo, it has been rewritten in Go
and is much faster. Also refactor how maps are stored, one dir per map.
The map binaries are basically identical to before. Some maps like
Africa have 1% difference in bytes, but playing it looks exactly the
same.
Use lazy loading for map data access so only needed files are accessed.
Unit tests now load map binary instead of regenerating it from scratch,
speeding them up.

## Description:
1. Refactor WarshipExecution so that it takes either attrs or a warship
unit. This makes testing much simpler as the unit test can construct a
warship and then pass it into a warship execution
2. Have MoveWarshipExecution set the patrol tile, not the move tile so
warships stay in new location instead of moving back to original
location.
3. Warships no longer target trade ships outside of its patrol range.
this prevents warships from wandering
4. Refactored & simplified WarshipExecution
5. Added more tests for warships
6. Move health modification from PlayerExecution to WarshipExecution
since Warships are the only unit that have health
7. Move fields from WarshipExecution to the Warship unit itself, this
allows other executions & components to see more data about the warship.

## Description:
Improve type safety and runtime correctness by:
1. Enabling TypeScript's
[strictNullChecks](https://www.typescriptlang.org/tsconfig/#strictNullChecks)
compiler option.
2. Replacing all loose equality operators (`==` and `!=`) with strict
equality operators (`===` and `!==`).
3. Cleaning up of type declarations, null handling logic, and equality
expressions throughout the project.
Currently, the code allows implicit assumptions that `null` and
`undefined` are interchangeable, and relies on type-coercing equality
checks that can introduce subtle bugs. These practices make it difficult
to reason about when values may be absent and hinder the effectiveness
of static analysis.
Migrating to strict null checks and enforcing strict equality
comparisons will clarify intent, reduce bugs, and make the codebase
safer and easier to maintain.
Fixes#466

## Description:
This PR does two things:
1. Allow pausing on replay
2. As part of the refactoring, in singleplayer games, LocalServer now
waits for the last turn to complete execution before sending the next
turn. Previously, low end devices would sometimes fall behind getting
the "playing the past" bug where commands were delayed. Now when a
devices cannot keep up, the entire game slows down.
