HvN balancing for the revamped difficulty steps of v30 sadly doesn't
really work out...
In medium difficulty games humans nearly always win (boring)
In hard difficulty games humans usually lose
It was intended differently...
So lets get rid of medium difficulty HvN, always use hard difficulty and
disable the donation-capability for public game nations.
That will tune the human winrate towards a middle ground at about 65% I
think. Which should be nice.
Easier than in v29 (was frustrating sometimes) but not as easy as it's
now.
We can only test this in prod lol

## Description:
* Adds ClientMsgRateLimiter — a per-client token-bucket rate limiter
that gates all incoming WebSocket messages. Returns "ok", "limit"
(drop), or "kick" based on the violation type.
* Intent messages are capped at 500 bytes each (they are stored in turn
history for the game duration, so oversized intents
accumulate in server RAM). Violations kick the client.
* Winner messages bypass the byte rate limit (they include stats for all
players and can be 100s of KB) but are strictly capped at one per client
— a second winner message kicks the client.
* All other messages go through the standard per-second (10/s) and
per-minute (150/min) rate limits. Violations drop the message; byte
budget exhaustion kicks the client.
* WebSocket maxPayload set to 2 MB on game workers.
Invalid (unparseable) messages now immediately kick the client rather
than being silently dropped.
Unit tests added for all rate limiting behaviors.

After a player left, the server would fall back to Lobby phase if player
count dropped below the max — even if the game had already started.
Now checks hasStarted() before reporting Lobby phase.
## Description:
Rex had this idea: "It would be funny to have an option in private
lobbies to disable alliances."
I added it as an option.
Now people can choose to live in constant fear of their neighbors 😆
Also added two new public game modifiers for variety (only for the
special rotation):
- Alliances disabled (low probability)
- x2 gold multiplier (low probability)
Would be nice to squeeze this into v30, last minute?

## Description:
Adds Aegean map, a map centered in the Aegean Sea and the aegean islands
between Greece and Turkey. Map has approx. 1M land tiles, size of
1600x2000.
Nations are named after Ancient Greece era city-states and tribes.
Elevation source from OpenTopography, already credited

/>
This has been a heavily requested map in the community, having
suggestions in the Discord, Subreddit and even in some videos (for
example i saw Ultimus Rex suggest an aegean map when asked what maps he
would like in his last stream)
The map is designed so that the greek and turkish main landmasses are
around 400,000 pixels in area, which combined account for around less or
equal to 80% of the map. This means players will have to cross the sea
to win, and to do so they will have to hop across the islands, which
means there will be heavy warship action, instead of having stalemates
like in most island maps where the gap between islands is too large and
players would rather bomb each other.

## Description:
The recently improved `supportsCompactMapForTeams` only checked that
each team had ≥2 players but not that there were ≥2 teams. On very small
maps with compact + Duos (rare), this allowed lobbies with 1 team of 2,
which makes no sense (Wonder noticed that randomly while looking at the
homepage). Added a `numberOfTeams ≥ 2` check so the compact map modifier
isn't active when the player count can't sustain multiple teams.
The 125-player performance cap was also applied inside
`calculateMapPlayerCounts` before the compact 75% reduction, so a map
sized for 200 players would get capped to 125 then reduced to 31 instead
of the expected 50. Moved the cap (`MAX_PLAYER_COUNT`) to after the
compact reduction.

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.
<img width="710" height="121" alt="Screenshot 2026-03-03 021952"

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:

Introduces Passage, an island filled thin map (like Amazon River but
inverted) which is a long, thin stretch of islands that makes for some
really fun gameplay. I playtested with 3 friends a number of times and
it's great in pretty much all the modes. Naval gameplay on this map is
particularly fun since some islands in the center basically hold the
choke points on trade ships passing from one side to another, making
them hotly contested territory.

## Description:
Adds two new public game modifiers for variety and improves compact map
eligibility for team games.
### New Modifiers
**Hard Nations (`isHardNations`)**
- We need this modifier for HvN, because medium nations are easier now
(will result in a much higher human winrate)
- In a discord discussion we concluded that HvN should generally be
easier (higher winrate than 50%, so players are less frustated)
- Thats why only 20% of HvN games have the hard nations modifier (for
now)
- For PvPvE enjoyers, the modifier is also active in FFA games => (Only
2.5% chance, and 1 ticket in `SPECIAL_MODIFIER_POOL`)
**25M Starting Gold (`startingGoldHigh`)**
- Some people in the main discord wanted this modifier, and it will
result in crazy games
- Rare special-only modifier (1 ticket in pool); mutually exclusive with
5M starting gold via `MUTUALLY_EXCLUSIVE_MODIFIERS`
- Disables nations (they lack PVP immunity, so 25M gold doesn't work
well with them)
- Excluded from HumansVsNations games (since it disables nations)
- Spawn immunity set to **2 minutes 30 seconds** (vs 30s for 5M gold),
so people can spend the gold and prepare
### Other Changes
- **Improved `supportsCompactMapForTeams`**: Replaced the hard `smallest
>= 50` land-tile cutoff with a per-team-config calculation that
simulates worst-case compact player count and checks every team gets at
least 2 players.
- **HvN spawn immunity**: Always 5 seconds in both regular and special
lobbies (to get rid of a confusing PVP immunity HeadsUpMessage in 5M
starting gold games)
- **Regular public lobby random spawn modifier probabilty**: Reduced
from 10% to 5% (Because of the new modifier, so there aren't too many
modifiers in non-special-lobbies, should only occur sometimes there)
- Rebalanced `SPECIAL_MODIFIER_POOL` a bit

## Description:
The master set lobby start times on creation, which caused an issue if
the previous lobby filled up and started before its timer ran out, the
next lobby would have its timer set too far back. For example, if lobby
time is 60 seconds, and the first lobby fills up after 10s, the
subsequent lobby would have its timer set for 110 seconds (60+50).
Instead we have the master set the lobby start time only when it is next
up in rotation. So all lobbies behind it don't have a start time,
because we don't actually know what it should be.

## Description:
Adds an additional API endpoint to the server for health, using the
master lobby service as the health metric. The master lobby service is
considered healthy if the lobby service has started (i.e. it had enough
ready workers to start), and the current amount of ready workers is more
than half of the desired number.
This means that we won't show as healthy until all the workers start,
and then we will continue to show as healthy even if a few workers
crash, as long as at least more than half are still running. Any less
than that, and the service becomes unhealthy.
This also is set to "no cache" in the nginx config. This is to ensure
that any checks of the server health show the true value, and cannot
show false/stale data served by nginx, cloudflare, or anything else.

This PR changes the ranked 1vs1 config to use the original format

https://discord.com/channels/1359946986937258015/1463178945108246757
(Reasoning in the discord thread)
But I still think we need a **1vs1 "party mode"**. With nations, ALL our
small maps, and sometimes compact maps. Maybe even sometimes with 5M
starting gold.
- Offering it to all 1vs1 players below a specific ELO count is probably
not the best idea: Some people will avoid getting too much ELO, others
will hate it until they have enough ELO.
- Offering another matchmaking queue might be an idea, but might cause
too much complexity (needs its own ELO system and its own leaderboard).
- A solution could be: Offer 1vs1 party games without ELO in the
upcoming new "special" rotation (Collect 20 players and put them into 10
games)

We already have a ImmunityTimer progress bar but I don't think its
enough.

I had a second count in the HeadsUpMessage (seconds until PVP immunity
is over) but it felt too busy. So I removed it. You can tell when PVP
immunity is over by looking at the progress bar.

## Description:
**3 problems:**
* Nation difficulty steps in `DefaultConfig` don't look good (max
troops: 0.5 → 1 → 1.125 → 1.25).
* We previously reduced the difficulty of easy nations for singleplayer,
but now they are too easy for public FFAs.
* In Discord we discussed HvN difficulty and concluded that a 50% human
win rate (my previous target) is too low; nations should be easier.
This PR addresses all of them:
* Difficulty steps in `DefaultConfig` are now cleaner (max troops: 0.5 →
0.75 → 1 → 1.25).
* Nation difficulty in public-game FFAs is restored to *medium* (0.75
max troops - still weaker than humans, but not too weak).
* HvN difficulty (medium) is now easier.
Regarding singleplayer:
These rebalances make nation difficulties more beginner-friendly, while
experts still have their challenge at *Impossible*.

So I thought why not make another one, this time a bit focused on
traders (tiny islands to trademaxx)
And two big islands (about 50% of the map land tiles). So its big
islands vs small islands.

## Description:
Many inapropriate names bypass the current filter. This PR does the
following:
1. Moves name censoring to server side so inappropriate names are
scrubbed before being sent to the client
2. Requests a list of profane words from the api, this allows us to
quickly add new profane words in the admin panel without having to
redeploy.

## Description:
This PR readds the Yenisei map, with it being about 3 times smaller than
before. I haven't updated the en.json file, as it still has the string
for the map, which was probably forgotten when the map got removed from
the repo.
