Kicking Opens Game to Other People

[Puss_in_Boots]

Players want options whether the kicked player is taken over by one or the game is opened to public to accept another.
This basically allows dead games to be sustained by replacing another player to keep the game going, and reduce the amount of players looking for games because they will be given the spot into a dead game.

currently AI takes the player - is it ok?

Well playing against AI is not what multiplayer was made for.

I suggest to make the maps resurface on joinable games as [REOPENED], so that people can differentiate from the plain balanced start or a game that already started.

Good idea. I support this.

Puss another option is to allow another ally to play your turn.

For example after time limit is done, instead of Skip and Kick you have Skip Kick or Play and and ally can take the turn. After the second play the ally automatically takes over the players turn.
This removes the issue in two AI turns which can be game changing,,, or waiting for a week for the other player to take a turn..


I agree that having options
Skip, Kick, Play turn, select new player

would be better but, I am guessing the select new player would take too much coding work to do.
