I know that the promotion tech for mercs is easier to "maintain", but why not do it with mixins instead? :) That should solve the issue.

- Quit to replay menu, when in replay session
A small problem was found caused by this changeset number. #6362
I'm not saying this is bad, but I guess changing the templates to train advanced rank mercenaries sounds like a good idea as well?
(Even better.)
Due to popular request, I abandon the search for a situation which is more to my liking. ;)

Remove the striking "orange" color and replace it with a more gold-like color.

As long as the scope of this patch as already expanded, I wanted to suggest enabling "allied view" as the default option. I just anticipate that the majority of hosts or players would want to see their allies when the game starts. Any opinions on this?
Order of setters no longer matters - they check if the value given is "undefined" and will not change settings if it is.
(With 'current behaviour' I meant 'click the icon selects the formation'.)
One may expect to go back to the replay list when quiting a replay.
Code looks good.
Works as advertised.
This looks like an improvement to me. (Although I'm not quite sure about the orange.)
So you say: ,,Screw the current behaviour.''?
I very much agree with @wowgetoffyourcellphone
Horizontal scrolling is a must for sure, but some things should just be presented on one screen and the current minimum resolution severely hampers that, unfortunately. I also wonder how well the game would run anyway on a rig that can only produce a resolution of 1024x768.
I requested this, because it was expected behavior. If EA wants auto-forming "soft battalions" then removing units from the battalion needs to be very easy and seamless. Selecting a mixed formation and simply clicking the icon in the center panel of the type of unit you wish to re-task to something else is very intuitive to understand. Clicking the icon and not getting a separate selection is unexpected and complicates things.

Actually what happens is supposed to happen: pressing ctrl (or better the noCapture hotkey) triggers the attack to prefer noCapture, while without the hotkey pressed it will prefer capture. Pressing the (no)projectile hotkeys results in preferring (no)capture. The Capture preference takes precedence over the (no)projectile. So if one attacks a building with the (no)projectile hotkey pressed, one prefers Capture and (no)projectile. However since there is no (no)projectile with capture effect in most cases, it will just default to capture. When pressing noCapture + (no)projectile it will try to do noCapture +(no)projecile which usually result in the damaging attack with(out) the projectile. The key is to realise that wanting capture and (no)projectile are independent properties.
That being said, this probably should end up in loading tips and hotkey descriptions.

Attempt to respond better on attacked. Should be tested (also remove a leftover "Melee" hardcoding)

Please Freagarach linting Ltd.
I'll take another look when I'm less tired, but this seems to be good to go.

Thanks @Angen
Petra Ignoring camouflaged structures works now
[20:04:32] <elexis> to whom it may concern, ./common/timer.js (,,,) [20:25:11] <elexis> for Angens concern [20:25:21] <elexis> in the options timeout [20:26:10] <elexis> also if one wanted to one could use the size property, which is a JS object, modify the width/height/post of that object and push that object back, this way one doesnt hardcode the 50%

Fix all hands.
Tested this in a few matches and I generally like it very much. No errors or crazy unwanted behavior, but the hotkey to choose which attack to use only work when attacking units and not when attacking buildings. Then it just deafaults to capture.
Maybe beacause of that it felt a bit hard to control what the units do (capture/ ranged attack /melle attack) but the generla UnitAI logic without specific player input works as I expected it to.
I narrowed down the problem and it seems to be somthing AI/ API specific that I don't understand.

Still haven't found the reason the Petra attacks.

Also think this should go in with the comment added, and maybe track the needed refactoring with a ticket and hopefully more patches.
