ValihrAnt added a comment to D4273: [gameplay] Briton bonus - faster wood gather rate.

Is there a reason why we are applying this to Gauls instead of Brits? I only ask because Gauls already has some nice bonuses while Brits doesn’t.

It's such a generic bonus that it can be justified for basically any civ, Gauls were just the first ones I thought of.

Also, this wood tech paired with Gauls’ food tech makes Gauls the best wood/food civ on the game by quite a bit.

I suppose the bigger problem is that there isn't really a design plan/idea for how the civs should play and how many bonuses, unique techs a civ should have. So I'd imagine the celts having an eco advantage which transfers to a numbers advantage to make up for inferior unit quality, but obviously, that's not the case currently so it would make sense then to switch this over to the Britons. Then they'll have an eco bonus and their unique tech, unlike the Gauls, could be military focused and the Gauls can just receive a different eco bonus later.

Adjustments after feedback from elexis

just most of the JS GUI codebase (probably still) uses for...of by default and forEach only in fringe cases where both the value and index i are used
also you compute escapeText(entry.name) twice each iteration, might want to cache that in a local variable
you should at least add a comment stating why there is the SendGetBoardList calll on login, since noone would guess that its for autocomplete

An icon would be used to place on top of the productionQueue items (both in the bottom menu as well as the right hand side of the screen for techs), indicating that the tech is being paused.

Maybe I could add another tooltip style, so users immediately see that there is a tooltip. That could be used elsewhere, too. However, I don't know if this finds support and how a better visibility of this (and maybe other not obvious) tooltip could be best achieved: background colour? text contour?

I just tested the patch in a small game and I like it very much. Basically like control groups, but unlimited.
All worked as it is intended and I got no errors or noticed anything out of the ordinary.
Only problem is that the panel for the buttons is too small and some are missing. But that was already the case before.
