Highlight Non-Standard Game Settings
Very simple: non-standard game settings should be highlighted (in red, perhaps) in the Game Settings window. Most hosts put something in the game title when they are using particularly unusual settings, but some don't and I've definitely been in several games that I would never have joined if I'd noticed the settings. This would make it essentially impossible to make this common mistake.
181 votesWarLight now highlights non-standard game settings!
What’s even better, is that players can configure how the game determines which settings are highlighted or not. This allows everyone to set their own preferences on what’s considered standard and non-standard.

Peace Treaties
This setting will allow warlite to enforce peace treaties. Peace treaties can either be set for a certain amount of turns or be broken after giving notice. A treaty will be the equivalent of a diplomacy card. If both players acquiesce, it can be canceled early (example: one guy accidentally has 1 spot in the other guys bonus so they cancel peace he takes spot and then they remake peace). There will also be a setting that makes peace treaties public or not, depending on the creators settings. The idea of peace treaties is two-fold, one it forces people not…
1,109 votesHey all,
I’m pleased to announce that peace treaties / diplomacy games can now be played using the new mod framework!
Check out the mod “Advanced Diplo v2”, which has a war/peace/allies system, and a lot of other neat features that work with this!

For ranked stats on profiles, separate team games from non-team games
Your stats in your profile would break down into Team Games and FFA's. So for a 4 person game win, you would have stats for 2v2's, 1v1v1v1 (FFA), (no need for 3v1). I think a 8 person FFA win is way harder to do than a 4v4 win.
10 votesYour profiles now show team games separate from FFA games!
Note that games with uneven teams (such as 3v1) are no longer included, since there’d be no way to tell if you were on the bigger or smaller side.
Here’s an example:
2 player FFA: 271 / 370 (73%)
3 player FFA: 13 / 24 (54%)
4 player FFA: 16 / 39 (41%)
5 player FFA: 5 / 8 (63%)
6 player FFA: 6 / 20 (30%)
2v2: 138 / 181 (76%)
2v2v2: 2 / 8 (25%)
2v2v2v2: 0 / 1 (0%)
2v2v2v2v2: 1 / 3 (33%)
2v2v2v2v2v2: 0 / 1 (0%)
3v3: 30 / 46 (65%)
3v3v3: 3 / 8 (38%)
3v3v3v3: 2 / 5 (40%)
3v3v3v3v3v3: 1 / 2 (50%)
4v4: 15 / 22 (68%)

Scenarios
To be able to take a map and personally decide the initial army placements. So if i want i could decide players A gets 10 armies in south america and player B gets 3 armies in north africa and 5 in greenland. Also to be able to decide who gets what territories so for example in BIG USA i can give the east to one player and the west to another.

Game creators can now elect to forego the built-in map distribution system and enter, territory-by-territory, exactly how they want the map to be distributed.

Global private messages
Allows you to send a private message to a player you're not in a game with.
342 votesIt’s now possible to send private messages to anybody, even if you’re not in a game with them!
This is called WarLight mail. There are two ways to send mail: You can visit a player’s profile page and click the Send Mail button. This starts a one-on-one mail thread that both players can reply to.
Alternatively, you can visit the new Community → Mail tab and click Compose New Mail. Then you can select up to 20 players that will all be able to post in the same mail thread. You can think of this like a private forum thread that only the players you select can read or write to.

Auto boot
Game creators can enable auto-boot for their game. When enabled, if a player reaches the boot timer, WarLight will automatically boot them instead of requiring a player to click the boot button.
145 votesWarLight now supports auto-boot! When the auto boot time is reached, WarLight will automatically boot players without requiring anybody to click the boot button.
Game creators can set the auto boot independently of the other two boot times

Open Tournaments
Much like the "Open Seats" system, but for tournaments. This would allow tournament creators to declare their tournaments "open" which would allow any WarLight player to join it, even if they were not invited.

Display the booter
When a player is booted using the "direct boot" feature, the person who booted them will be displayed in the orders list for everyone to see.
37 votesI’m happy to announce that when a player is booted using the “direct boot” feature, it now shows who booted them.
It also shows how long the player hadn’t moved, so it will be very clear if the player was booted just after the boot time or after holding up the game for an unusually long time.

AI replaces booted/surrendered players
Allow game creators to optionally specify that when a player gets booted or surrenders, instead of changing their territories to neutral, an AI player takes over their territories for the remainder of the game.
423 votesYou can now do this! Just check the box during game creation that says “Players turn into AI controlled players when booted” or “Players turn into AI controlled players when surrendered.”
You can choose one or both of these.
