## 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*.

## Summary
Refactor `generateTeamColors()` to use LCH (Lightness-Chroma-Hue) color
space instead of HSL for perceptually uniform team color variations.
## Changes
- **`Colors.ts`**: Rewrite `generateTeamColors()` to use LCH color space
- Golden angle hue distribution clamped to ±12° to preserve team
identity
- Chroma oscillates ±10% around the base to add variety without washing
out
- Lightness alternates ±18 around the base to keep teammates
recognizable
## Why LCH?
LCH is a perceptually uniform color space, meaning equal numeric
differences correspond to equal perceived differences. This produces
team color variations that look more consistent and distinguishable
compared to HSL-based generation.
## Notes
- The "skip ally attack confirmation" feature that was previously in
this PR has been split into a separate PR as requested by @evanpelle.

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)

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

## Pathfinding with HPA*
Hi! The primary objective of this PR is to replace per-tile A* with
hierarchical pathfinding - HPA*. In practice, this means we create an
abstract graph on top of the actual map with far fewer points and use it
to decide on general path structure. Only then we go back to tile-level
and build path between selected waypoints. This speeds up long distance
pathfinding by over 1000x in some cases. To make the review easier, it
comes with a benchmark and visual playground.
## PREPROCESSING
H part of HPA* means "hierarchical" and requires preprocessing.
This PR includes pre-processing as part inside `new Game()` constructor.
It takes about 135ms for `giantworldmap` on my machine, which increases
the effective initialization from ~95ms to ~230ms. This time could be
reduced in different ways, which are **out of scope** for this PR.
After confirming the initialization time is bearable on low-end devices,
I argue merging this PR as-is is acceptable tradeoff. It creates small
lag at the beginning of a round but pays for itself in the first minute
of the match.
## Nerdy details
**Architecture**
- HPA*-style hierarchical pathfinding
- 32×32 sectors on minimap with gateway nodes on borders
- Gateway graph built via BFS during preprocessing
- Water component optimization skips unreachable gateway pairs
- A* on gateway graph → local A* within sectors → Bresenham path
smoothing
- Minimap upscaling identical to currently used in MiniAStar
**Key Optimizations**
- Typed arrays instead of high-level primitives
- Stamp-based visited tracking (no need to recreate buffers, O(1)
clearing)
- Optional - enabled by default - caching of tile paths between gateways
- Line of sight smoothing for the final path
## Review Focus
Play with included tools, benchmark and visualization. Pathfinding
should be safe to merge as a black box - you do not need to understand
the details. Outcomes can be tested empirically in-game. Visualize (and
share!) edge cases with included playground. Confirm the 100x speedup is
real with benchmark.
If you plan to dive into the code, I suggest the following order:
- Pathfinding abstraction in `src/core/pathfinding/`
- Pathfinding tests in `tests/core/pathfinding/`
- NavMesh in `src/core/pathfinding/navmesh/` + integration with
`Game.ts`
- Benchmark in `tests/pathfinding/benchmark/`
Do not look at playground's code, it has been created with a clanker.
The design is 100% mine and I spent way too long polishing it, but I
haven't even once edited the code manually. There is probably no
abstraction whatsoever, just do not look at the code, let it play.
## Core Changes
#### Pathfinding (`src/core/pathfinding/navmesh/`)
- HPA* + refinement -> three phased pathfinding: A* over the graph ->
naive path -> refinement
- comes with A* and BFS optimized for for specific needs
#### Pre-Processing (`src/core/pathfinding/navmesh/`)
- identify water bodies to avoid pathfinding between disconnected nodes
- create high-level graph of gateways on top of tile map
#### Abstraction (`src/core/pathfinding/`)
- common `PathFinder` interface that can return full path and also act
as state machine (`.next()`)
- adapters for both new and legacy algorithm with fallback to legacy if
navigation mesh not available
#### Benchmark (`tests/pathfinding/benchmark/`)
- `npx tsx tests/pathfinding/benchmark/run.ts` - no guesswork, numbers
- `npx tsx tests/pathfinding/benchmark/run.ts --synthetic` - 1000s of
synthetic paths
- `npx tsc tests/pathfinding/benchmark/generate.ts` - generate more as
needed, test new maps
- includes ONE synthetic scenario to avoid PR bloat, generate more
locally / later
#### Playground (`tests/pathfinding/playground/`)
- `npx tsx tests/pathfinding/playground/server.ts` - visualize paths
with both new and legacy algorithm
## Benchmarks

```
Initialization: 95.95ms -> 227.29ms

## 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.

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`.

Didier map for the big french youtuber Fuze which already published
several OpenFront videos.
I took the real france, cut away the bordering countries and made it
look like Didier 😄
Gave it eyes, hands and feet.
Made sure we have some rivers, also put Corsica in the right bottom
corner!
It's quite large. Similar to the europe map. Has 42 nations (38 french
cities and 4 funny custom nations for the youtuber).
Made with [TsProphets map
generator](https://github.com/TsProphet94/OpenFrontMapGenerator), QGIS
and GIMP.
For public games I put a rare map frequenzy of 2 because most people
probably don't know Fuze.
@ibnhalwa from discord gave some insider knowledge about Fuze (He's
french, I'm not).

Changes:
- Added a `Player::canAttackPlayer(other)` function to determine whether
a player can be attacked.
- This function is now used in most places where a fight can occur:
- AttackExecution (land attacks)
- Naval invasion
- Warship fight
- Nukes can't be thrown during the truce
- Immunity only affect human players. Nations and bot will fight as
usual, and can be fought against.
- The immunity timer uses minutes in the modal window.
UI:
- The immunity phase is displayed with a timer bar at the top. This is
from the original PR, to be discussed if it's not deemed visible enough:

## Description:
**HumansVsNations is back!**
The original PR had an issue: only the nations listed in the map’s
`manifest.json` were being spawned, which resulted in completely
unbalanced games.
What did I change with this PR?
- The number of humans and nations is now always the same.
- If a map contains too many nations, we take a random subset.
- If a map doesn’t contain enough nations, we dynamically add additional
ones. These get random spawn locations, and their names are taken from
the new name generator `NationNames.ts`. The name generator was taken
from the closed PR #2245 (idea from @VariableVince).
These changes apply to private lobbies and singleplayer as well. In
singleplayer, you now simply play a 1-vs-1 against a nation.
For public lobbies, we use 50% of the regular team-game player count.
The remaining 50% are nations.
We are also using the Hard difficulty for HumansVsNations.
At the moment, it’s important that nations cheat a little because humans
can donate troops, whereas nations cannot, at least not yet. In the
future, we may make that work.
We might need to adjust the difficulty or do fine-tuning depending on
the humans’ win rate in production. Ideally, we want a ~50% win rate;
otherwise, the mode may become boring. Over time, humans will likely
develop strategies that nations can’t counter, in which case we’ll need
to improve the nation AI.
Here is a screenshot showing that the number of nations now matches the
number of humans in the private lobby UI:

The `PuplicLobby` display was a bit bugged for HumansVsNations:

Resolves#2602
## Description:
tldr: `npm run docs:map-generator`
Adds documentation to the `map-generator` go code.
This has no functional changes, other than the renaming of the package.
I used the github url, though this can be set to anything as long as it
contains a `.` so that the docs parse it correctly. Go doc best
practices seem a little verbose and terse, but attempted to comply
Future Facing (to get these docs viewable without running locally):
- Wait until the -http issue is sorted, then these are easy to
statically host alongside builds
- Could use the legacy `godoc`
- Could do formatting after outputting the `txt` output
## Change List:
- Add documentation to all types/fns in map-generator go code
- Ensure this outputs correctly with `go doc`
- Add `docs:map-generator` command to package.json. This runs `go doc`
in `map-generator` w/ appropriate flags to generate full documentation.
(see notes in readme)
- rename `map-generator` module to work around pkgsite assuming all
packages without a . are stdlib (this makes `-http` work at all)
- Add new sections to README and update existing sections
- Add additional references to locations in the primary code base where
things can be found
- Update documentation in the ts theme files to add output color
mappings - this ensures that everything needed to trace the input file
-> in game rendered asset is fully documented.

## Description:
This PR removes the nation strength. Reasoning:
- It is currently unused. The backstory can be found in #2498
- It forces map-makers to do balancing work, which is probably not a
good idea
- It increases map-making work
- It increases nation balancing complexity by a lot (we need to have all
the json files in mind)
- It makes humans avoid map areas completely because there is always
that one, same, strong nation
- The map lead Nikola123 wants to "not deal with the stupid nations and
their balancing"
If the goal of nation strength was to make them feel different I would
suggest a nation personality system. Nations that love to boat, love to
ally, love to nuke, love to fullsend, etc.

## 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.

Resolves#2599
## Description:
For example in #2599 we can see people already struggling with the
higher difficulties.
With my PR #2606 (nation alliance request logic), an alliance request
towards an impossible difficulty nation will probably always get
rejected. They have `maxTroops * 2`, and because humans have much less
troops, the nation of course won't want to ally with them (unless the
human somehow manages to get a similar troop count).
This makes them even harder to beat.
So I tuned the `maxTroops`, `troopIncreaseRate` and `startManpower`
configs towards the setting for humans, following the goal to make
difficulties impact the **SMARTNESS** of nations, instead of just their
troop count configs (more varied gameplay 😊).
The biggest change is in `startManpower`. I thought it was weird that
easy nations started with much less troops than a bot (2_500 vs 10_000).
Look at this screenshot, a couple of seconds into the game. Bots were
bigger than nations. 💀 Turkey in the bottom right corner...

it was added that startManpower in DefaultConfig used
playerInfo.nation.strength to set the starting troops for a Nation. In
ExecutionManager, param nation of PlayerInfo was set during the
instantiation of a new FakeHumanExecution.
However in commit
https://github.com/openfrontio/OpenFrontIO/commit/d6a412aa50dd86d474d80c216fd9ba36e7426ef9#diff-2d0a5d8b171d8b504f934891025e42742e142ef0964d6e17712bfdcd30bf050c
the changes made it so that **param nation of PlayerInfo was never
set**. While startManpower in DefaultConfig still checked for
playerinfo.nation.strength. Since it was always undefined, it would use
a multiplier of 1 instead of the actual nation strength.
This PR fixes it by passing the nation strength to param nationStrength
in PlayerInfo. Removing param strength from class Nation. Strength isn't
used anywhere else so this isn't a problem and it also consolidates
human player info and nation player info even more. We could have also
used the Nation.strength directly, but that would have required more
code in addPlayers and addPlayer in GameImpl, especially for Teams
games. So this PR has the simplest solution.
- I did add a config setting useNationStrengthForStartManpower with a
comment that explains its reason for being. Namely that in the months
that startManpower didn't get to use nation strength because of the bug,
FakeHumans have become much harder to fight. Re-enabling higher starting
troops from this fix would make them even harder to fight, and i think
rebalancing is needed before that.
- Or we could decide to scrap Nation strength altogether, as it is only
ever used to set starting troops anyway. This would make map making a
little easier as a bycatch.

## Description:
Made a type of map we don't already have: Small square map, one Island
in each corner. Could be great for boat gameplay or maybe even nuke
wars.
The special thing is: **All islands are exactly 25% of the territory!**
Was a lot of work drawing that in GIMP...
