Changelog:

Version 1.5.18

• MP Allow Restarts option:

• o There is now an option in the MP challenge setup screen to “Allow Restarts” in Ranked custom battle challenges.
  o This is to facilitate the use of the Slitherine Elo ranking system in player-run tournaments that allow either player to reroll the map at the start of the game if they deem it unsuitable. Mechanically, this entails one player conceding the game and then the challenge being set up again.
  o If the “Allow Restarts” option is set, concessions will be ignored for Elo ranking purposes if they occur in either player’s first 2 turns. After the first two turns, the conceding player will be considered the loser for Elo purposes.
  o Explanatory tooltips added to checkboxes in MP New Challenge setup screen.

• Field of Glory Kingdoms Beta:

• o If you are in the Kingdoms beta, and have exported a battle, the Kingdoms Battle button will appear in the Battles menu. Click on it to play your Kingdoms battle and export the result.
  o After the battle, Kingdoms should now restart automatically if you select the appropriate option.

There is something odd happening with highlighting units.
See the attached pic, there is no reason for the unselected units to have a blue background. Cosmetic issue, not effecting game play.

Looks to me like those units have still got some movement points left after making the initial group move.

[tyronec]

It's an MP game so I can't go back to it, but I didn't do any group moves.

It is something to do with command groups and units in the same command that still have MPs left and are within command range.
However not all units in the same group, in command range, and with MP are highlighted.

[rbodleyscott]

Ah well, if at some point it is proven to (probably) be a bug, I will look into it.

[tyronec]

I was able to repeat it be starting a game with a mix of units in command groups.
It occurs most of the time for most units in the command group selected with MPs.

I don't really understand what you mean. When I tried mixed group the whole group stayed blue when some had used their full movement allowance and some had not.

What exactly are you doing to reproduce this? (Please spell out all steps fully)

If possible please show screenshots before and after the group moves.

[tyronec]

This is a randomly produced army.
The first group is half out of command range.
If I move some of them and select a unit out of command range then nothing is highlighted, whether moved or not.

The next group is all in command range.
If i move some of them and select an unmoved unit then all unmoved units in the group are highlighted, but none that have moved any amount even if below their maximum move.

Maybe this is WAD, I don't know.

It is different from what happened in my MP game where units were being highlighted when they had moved a bit but maybe had MP points remaining. They were in the same command group.

So it is something to do with movement and something to do with command range and something to do with command group, but exactly what I am not sure.
At no stage in any of this have I done a group move.

[rbodleyscott]

If i move some of them and select an unmoved unit then all unmoved units in the group are highlighted, but none that have moved any amount even if below their maximum move.

That is working as intended, because units that have made any non-group move, are excluded from group moves by the rest of the group. (Whether or not they have any AP left)
