## 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?

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.

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

This PR changes the ranked 1vs1 config to use the original format
(tournaments and openfront 1vs1 club):
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)

Adds 30 seconds of PVP immunity to 5M starting gold modifier games.

Because I'm sure people would be confused "I cannot attack!!!!" I added

enough.

is over) but it felt too busy. So I removed it. You can tell when PVP

## 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*.

And two big islands (about 50% of the map land tiles). So its big
islands vs small islands.

To increase variety a bit more I present: The "crowded" public game
modifier :)
It basically simulates a crazy youtuber lobby. Cramp a lot of players on

I think its fun, exciting and you actually need skill to manage the

5% of public games get this modifier, but because we remove the modifier
for big maps its more like 2.5% (should be something special)

I analyzed the avg fill time of team games (past 30 days) and was able
to confirm what people in the main discord said: Duos / Trios / Quads
fill slower.
Might be something for v29.

1. In JoinPrivateLobbyModal the nation count loading was missing. That
caused the team preview UI to show different player counts compared to
the HostLobbyModal. For example it showed 0/0 nations for the
HumansVsNations team mode (instead of 2/2):

/>
2. Turn down HvN difficulty from Impossible to Hard.
We steamrolled over Hard nations in the playtest (at least in two of the
three games) because we donated lots of troops to each other.
But after some API data research I noticed that only 33% of players in
public team games ever use the donate functionality.
And we probably have less skilled players in public games than in the
playtest.
So its probably better to use the Hard difficulty to ensure balanced
gameplay.
I know, I'm overthinking this 😂

We might want to add this to v29 to have a third possible public game
modifier from the beginning on 😄 Would be fun
- Add starting gold option (0 to 1_000_000_000 allowed, also applies to
nations)
- Add gold multiplier option (0.1 to 1000 allowed, also applies to
nations and bots)
- Add third public game modifier (3% chance of starting with 5M gold)
- Why 5M? It's enough gold to massively change the game start but not
enough to insta-hydro someone (launcher + hydro is 6M)

## Description:
The calculation is based on: 50 players per 1_000_000 land tiles,
limited at 125 players because of performance
Second number is 75% of that, third one 50%
That way, the player counts are staying mostly the same
Look at the "Dynamic Config" column, these are the new player counts:
(The 125 players limit is missing in that column, only relevant for the
twolakes map)

Fuze liked the Didier map without the real france more...
So here it is. It won't get added to the playlist, the france version
stays in the playlist.
(Unrelated: Also quickly changed "Europe (classic)" to Europe (Classic)"
to match with "Britannia (Classic)")

- Added `generateUniqueNationName()` to `NationCreation` because I saw a
duplicate name while spawning 300 nations on Pangaea 😄
- Switched HumansVsNations public game difficulty from hard to
impossible because I realized how crazy strong troop donations between
humans are (in an enzo HVN stream).
Maybe I have to make nations donate troops to each other, we will see...
Playtests won't tell the truth because the players attending these are
probably better than the usual OF player. I will try to check the HVN
winrate via API after launch

## Description:
Added a public game modifier system. It causes that
5% of public games are played on the compact version of the map
10% of public games have "Random Spawn" activated
Percentages can easily get changed via `DefaultConfig`.
We can also easily add more modifiers.
Modifiers can stack, so in rare cases you will play on a compact map
with random spawn 😄
More variety!
### "Compact Map" modifier implementation
- With the "Compact Map" modifier the lobby max player count gets
reduced to 25% and only 25% of the regular bots and only 25% of the
regular nations will spawn (because the map has only 25% of its regular
size)
- In private lobbies and singleplayer the nation reduction happens too
(When "Compact Map" is enabled).
### Restrictions
- Duos/Trios/Quads team modes do not get Random Spawn (defeats the
purpose)
- Maps with smallest player count < 50 do not get Compact Map in team
games (not enough players after the reduction to 25%). I have calculated
all the possible max player counts.
### How it looks like
Random Spawn modifier:
<img width="528" height="183" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-06 194959"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/2f729da9-80c3-4548-8205-71129da2a76a"
/>
Very rare case: Two modifiers at the same time and only 10 max players
have been chosen from `[GameMapType.FaroeIslands]: [20, 15, 10]`.
Because of the 75% reduction in player count only 3 players are allowed
(3 is the minimum). I think its funny that you can play a 1v1v1 in rare
occasions 😄
<img width="526" height="184" alt="Screenshot 2026-01-06 194938"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/834326eb-df03-41b7-b1db-1efa3f1013b5"
/>
### Funny side-effect
Team games with random spawn. That will be interesting. No more "Who is
better in donating troops to the frontline". Instead you have to heavily
coordinate with your teammates.

## Description:
We didn't have a river map and we didn't have a map with a crazy size.
So I made a "Amazon River" map with a crazy size.
280 x 5536!
21 nations based on real locations.
Should be interesting gameplay because you don't have many attack
options, your only escape is the river.
The land tiles size is similar to the achiran and iceland map.

/>
Because the map is so wide, it looked really ugly stretched in the
thumbnails. So I added some CSS which removes the thumbnail stretching
of the Amazon River map. We can also use this logic for other thumbnails
which shouldn't get stretched.
In `Maps.ts`, `PublicLobby.ts` and `GameInfoModal.ts`.
