Faction selection

This is something I have seen in many Youtube videos from people trying 0 A.D. They choose the faction, then they choose the map type, then the faction is refreshed because they changed the map. When the game starts they are not with the faction they thought they have chosen.

You mean persistent settings. the problem change between Scenario and Skirmish+ RM.

I just confirmed that it can also happen without changing game mode. For example, if you are in skirmish and change map from Greek Acropolis (2) to something else, the players settings are erased.

There are two conflicting philosophies. One is that people should first chose the map and then the other settings. If they want to change the map, then they have to change all other settings again, because it's the map that can come with defaults.

The other philosophy is that maps adapt to the user wish and that they can be changed like every other setting independently.

The first thing is done by Scenario maps, the second one by random maps and skirmish maps do a mix of both.

The civ selection on skirmish maps in particular may be persisted, but those 2 philosophies clash in several places.
