Regarding Bering Sea and Bering strait maps:

/>
Because of mixed opinions about replacing the maps, i propose at least
this temporary compromise: Bering Sea gets added as a new map and Bering
Strait gets its rotation lowered to a small number. Since the classic
maps are probably being taken off rotation, we should have some small
breathing space for the 2 maps.
In the near future we should discuss between mapmakers in the dev server
whether we keep, replace or completely take Bering Strait off rotation,
and/or a community poll.

Adds map of the Caucasus. This map is made especifically because of the
new update that allows ports to be placed on smaller bodies of water,
rather than just the largest one.
This map has 2 disconnected, large bodies of water of similar size
(Black and Caspian seas), which would create 2 independent trade
systems, creating a more dynamic economy.

Add Map - Conakry
Dataset from OpenTopography. Map rotated 45 degrees from north. This is

## Description:
This was a proposal in the map channel of the dev discord server:
**Updates the Europe map to include Iceland, and removes Classic Europe
off rotation.** Classic Europe will remain in custom private map list
The only thing the new europe map didnt have from the classic version
was iceland, so i figured we should update the europe map to contain it,
since Iceland is a popular spawn in the classic version. Iceland is in
the same position as the classic map
The classic europe is frankly a lesser version of the new map as it
doesnt contain rivers , is smaller and the terrain has less quality, and
with the updated version, classic would just take up very needed space
in the lobby queue. We currently have a very large number of maps, which
results in players having to wait for a long time for an specific map in
public lobbies. This should help the issue a little at the very least.

## Description:
Adds a new `waterNukes` game config option that causes nuclear
detonations to convert land tiles into water instead of just leaving
fallout. When enabled, nuked land tiles are batched and converted to
water each tick, with full terrain metadata updates including:
- Ocean bit propagation from adjacent ocean tiles (BFS flood fill)
- Magnitude recomputation via BFS from remaining coastlines
- Shoreline bit fix-up in a 2-ring neighborhood around converted tiles
- Minimap terrain sync (majority-rule downsampling)
- Throttled water navigation graph rebuild (every 20 ticks) for ship
pathfinding
- Ship executions detect graph rebuilds and refresh their pathfinders
- TransportShips auto-retreat if their destination becomes water
- Water nuke craters use a smoothed angular noise ring with a
bounding-box scan instead of the regular per-tile random coin flip with
BFS, producing clean blob-shaped craters without scattered land pixels
that players would have to boat to individually
The `TerrainLayer` now incrementally repaints tiles that changed terrain
type, and tile update packets encode the terrain byte alongside tile
state so clients can reflect water conversions in real time.
When `waterNukes` is disabled, behavior is unchanged (fallout only).
Includes a new test suite (WaterNukes.test.ts) covering the conversion
pipeline, ocean propagation, magnitude recalculation, shoreline updates,
and minimap sync.
Also adds a new public game modifier for the special rotation.
### The only problem
A bit of lag on impact. But otherwise it works great and is fun. Maybe
needs some followup improvements if it gets merged.
I think its very cool in baikal / four islands team games. Chip away the
territory of your opponents.
Its also fun to turn The Box / Alps into a water map (its actually
possible to boat-trade then)

Adds 5 new public game modifiers to the Special game mode modifier pool:
- **Ports Disabled** - disables port construction, focus on factories
- **Nukes Disabled** - disables atom bombs, hydrogen bombs, MIRVs,
missile silos and SAM launchers
- **SAMs Disabled** - disables SAM launchers (thats funny, you cant
protect against nukes, have to space out your stuff) (mutually exclusive
with nukes disabled)
- **1M Starting Gold** - gives all players 1M starting gold (was
requested by people, new chill tier alongside existing 5M and 25M)
- **4min Peace Time** - grants 4 minutes of PVP spawn immunity
All `PublicGameModifiers` boolean fields are now optional - inactive
modifiers are omitted from game JSON instead of being serialized as
`false` (stop bloating the JSON size)
I think we have enough modifiers now :) Good variety

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

Adds Aegean map, a map centered in the Aegean Sea and the aegean islands

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.

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.

## 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:
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.

### Changes
- **Map-specific team count overrides** with 75% probability:
- **Baikal**: 2 teams (plays into the natural two-sided geography)
- **Four Islands**: 4 teams (one team per island)
- Remaining 25% falls through to the normal weighted random team
selection
- **Doubled playlist frequency** for Baikal (5→10) and Four Islands
(4→8) in the team game playlist, making them appear twice as often

## 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

Special games now get a random map from a dedicated pool (which includes
arcade maps that are excluded from regular FFA/team rotations), a 50/50
chance of FFA or Team mode, and are guaranteed to have at least one
modifier active, compact map, random spawn, crowded, or 5m starting gold
, with higher roll rates than normal games.

PR to add Bering Strait map. Produced using TOPO data from real world

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)

## Description:
Adds 30 seconds of PVP immunity to 5M starting gold modifier games.
So you cannot insta-nuke other players.
Because I'm sure people would be confused "I cannot attack!!!!" I added
a HeadsUpMessage which informs about the PVP immunity.
We already have a ImmunityTimer progress bar but I don't think its
enough.
<img width="1270" height="745" alt="image"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0ee23dc4-1c7b-4d62-8b3d-8de214f03c2b"
/>
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.
