- Subject: Forcing the player to resign in single player
Does anyone else feel that it's annoying to be forced to resign when
playing in single player mode? I just want to quit the game and start a
new one. Is there some rationale for this, or is quitting when you're
the only one who cares an unimplemented "feature?" I notice that if I
save the game, then quit, I can just quit. Well, how about letting me
just quit?
Also, what's the point of asking me who I want to resign to when there's
only 2 players?
Can resignation be turned off in a scenario? I think it's rather goofy
to be able to surrender to whomever you want, and I don't see why other
players should get an instant capitulation advantage. Why not just turn
a resigned player's cities and units independent?
