   This is a great idea. Nothing is more of a hassle than looking through hundreds of "Past Games" to find the template you want to reuse, or to find a friend you used to play with.

   The issue with local deployments and overlapping bonuses comes up when you think about deploying. When players deploy an army to a territory that is part of two bonuses and they control both of those bonuses, the game would need to know which bonus you want to take the army from.

   Imagine three territories: 1, 2, and 3. There’s a bonus A made up of territories 1 and 2, and a bonus B made up of territories 2 and 3. Both bonuses give 1 army per turn and therefore the player gets 2 income. Imagine a player controls all three territories (and therefore both bonuses), and then tries to deploy an army on territory 2. The game needs to know if it should allocate that army from bonus A or B.

   There are a few strategies it could use to decide:

   Strategy 1: It could just pick one at random. The problem is if it picks the wrong one, then the player can’t deploy to the other territory of that bonus. For example, it if picks bonus A and then the player decides to deploy their second army on territory on territory 1, the game wouldn’t let them and the player is confused and doesn’t know what’s going wrong.

   Strategy 2: It could stop and ask the player which bonus they’re trying to deploy to. This is confusing to new players, weird, micro-managey, and breaks the flow of the game. It’s counter to WarLight’s idea of being a simple-to-play game when you confuse players with these kind of micro-management details.

   Strategy 3: It could just pick one at random, then later if the player decides to deploy somewhere that would have been legal but isn’t because of our random choice, go back and re-allocate previously deployed armies to make the new deployment possible. I tried to write this algorithm back when local deployments was being introduced but unfortunately I could not get it working correctly and ultimately had to abandon it. It may still be possible to make this work but it needs more thought and development.

   Agreed. It's a shame not to be able to play any of the more fun maps with local deployment.

   I assume you mean "won't appear in BONUSES in distribution"?
