## 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.

## Description:
Fixes for v28. In https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO/pull/2444,
lobby team preview was added. But for players with clan tags, this
doesn't work correctly. They don't get assigned to the same team in the
preview, while they do get assigned to the same team in the actual game.
Also added some small fixes and QoL improvements like showing the number
of Nations next to the number of Players. Since we needed that info
anyway. Did not choose to show and assign Nations to teams (just the
numbers), see why under CONSIDERED OPTIONS THAT I DIDN'T WENT WITH.
**BEFORE:**

<img width="767" height="117" alt="Malformed argument because of double
accolades for remove_player"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7de1114e-7ce1-4a8f-95cc-6b0528a61e3b"
/>
**AFTER:**
https://youtu.be/aDCKkwedqes
Cause of bug:
maxTeamSize is a number in assignTeams, only used to assign clan
players. It uses the length of the players array as input. At actual
game start, the Nations are also in the players array. But at lobby
preview the Nations aren't yet fetched. So when 2 players want to do a 3
Teams private lobby with them using clan tags to be in the same team.
maxTeamCount would do Math.ceil(2/3)=1. So only 1 clan player per team
as a result. While actually there could be 10 Nations which would result
in maxTeamCount Math.ceil(12/3)=4 so in the game they would actually be
assigned to the same team.
Fix for bug:
fetch Nations count in HostLobbyModal and pass on to LobbyTeamView. Add
it to the number of players for maxTeamCount that
assignTeamsLobbyPreview uses for its calculation. Also added nation
count to the similar teamMaxSize in LobbyTeamView itself, to display the
same and correct number of max players. For random maps, we now need to
know the random map before the game starts to get its Nation count. So
made some changes for that too in HostLobbyModal.
Also fixed:
- willUpdate ran comptuteTeamPreview every second, now checks if
properties like 'client' actually changed. PollPlayers in HostLobbyModal
'changes' the clients property every second even if there are no actual
changes. Checks if the other properties are actually changed too, to
make it more future proof.
- cache teamsList so it is only fetched once instead of first in
computeTeamPreview and then again for showTeamColors.
- don't show the "Empty Teams" header if there are no empty teams.
- console error ICU format error SyntaxError: MALFORMED ARGUMENT.
Because of double accolades around remove_player in translation value.
- remove fallback for comparing clients on clientID, which used client
name. Players may have the same names so it's not safe to compare based
on name.
Also show number of Nations next to number of Players:
now we now the nationCount since it is needed for the fix, show number
of Nations next to number of Players. It's handy and it prevents
confusion as to why it says 2/32 for two teams if there are only 2
players; it is because there are 61 Nations as well on the World map for
example.
Also determine number of teams based on Players + Nations:
now we now the nationCount since it is needed for the fix, use it to
determine the number of teams. Just like populateTeams in GameImpl does.
This means for Duos on the World map, a minimum of 31 teams will be
shown since there are 61 Nations. This is better than just show two
teams based on 1 or 2 humans in the lobby. Also it makes more clear how
many teams there'll be the game and how the players and nations are
divided over the teams. Choose to not show the Nations' team assignments
though. That could be for another PR. See explanation under CONSIDERED
OPTIONS THAT I DIDN'T WENT WITH.
Also show Nations team as pre-filled for HumansVSNations:
now we now the nationCount since it is needed for the fix, for
HumansVSNations, show the Nations team as fully assigned and non-empty.
For example for World map it shows Nations 61/61. Don't show them as
Empty Team but as Assigned Team. Although i choose not to show the
actual Nations (see CONSIDERED OPTIONS THAT I DIDN'T WENT WITH), this
makes it clear their team is pre-filled and how many Nations you're
actually up against. Whereas for other Team game types like 7 Teams or
Duos, it will display the teams that the Nations will fill up as empty.
CONSIDERED OPTIONS THAT I DIDN'T WENT WITH
- Use an optional param 'nationsCount' to assignTeams with default = 0.
And simply add nationsCount to the players.length count for maxTeamSize.
This would be error prone; 'nationsCount' should then never be assigned
a value except when called from LobbyTeamView. But in the future someone
might assign it a value even when called from somewhere else. Then you
could say, check if there are Nations in the players array and if so, do
not use Nationscount because we know they are already counted from
players.length. But if Disable Nations is enabled, there would be no
Nations in the players array but if nationsCount was somehow given a
value we still should not use it. So again, too developer error prone.
- Not only fetch the number of Nations, but actually get the Nations
themselves to show them in the team assign preview as well. They are
shuffled on team assignment but of course deterministicly (nation player
ID assigned based on Pseudorandom seeded with GameID in GameRunner, then
shuffled in TeamAssignment with Pseudorandom seeded with map's first
Nation's playerID), so we could replicate it. But then, how to
distinguish humans and Nations in the UI? This feels like something for
a follow-up PR.
FOR A FUTURE PR
- change the way Clan team overflow is handled. Now they're "kicked" as
in not assigned to a team without their knowing, are loaded into the
game but cannot spawn. This UX could need some improvement. And the
logic can be improved too, ie. don't "kick" too soon, check the number
of Clans in the lobby and the number of teams to decide if we can assign
the 'overflowing' Clan player to another team that doesn't have
rivalling Clan players. Far out of scope for this PR.

## Description:
### ✅ Summary of Changes
This PR enables the ESLint rule **`@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars`**
as requested in the issue and applies the necessary code adjustments
across the project.
#### 🔧 What was done:
- Activated the rule `@typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars` in the ESLint
config.
- Updated ~70 files to comply with the rule:
- Replaced unused variables with a `_` prefix where appropriate.
- Added inline ESLint disable comments (`eslint-disable-next-line`) for
specific cases where the variable or code block seemed important for
context, readability, or future use.
- Ensured no linting errors remain related to this rule.
---
### ❓ Clarification
Some cases were handled with inline disable comments instead of removing
the variable entirely, to avoid accidental breaking changes or loss of
intent.
If a different approach is preferred (e.g., stricter removal or
alternative handling), I’m happy to adjust the implementation
accordingly — just let me know!
---
### 🙌 Next Steps
Please review and let me know if:
- Any file should be handled differently.
- You prefer removal instead of disabling in certain areas.
- Additional rules should be enforced or reverted.
I’m available to make any follow-up improvements needed.

In Singleplayer Teams > Duos, your duo partner will be the same every
time. In World map for example, it will always Norway.
Fix: randomizing Nation players before their team assignment. This is
done for all Team modes in Singleplayer and Multiplayer.
Other behaviour is unchanged. Clan-players keep their own assignment
logic, and Human non-clan player assignment stays the same. The human in
singleplayer Duos mode lands in Team 1 everytime but with a different
Nation as other team member.

## 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.
