Reworked the New Game screen quite a bit to make it simpler and user user friendly. I've added
a new feature called "game flavors" which allows you to save a game setup as a template for
future game creations. There are some standard flavors already configured which I believe
are the most popular game types. Added a user game list which shows all games that a particular user is registered in. The user stats screen (clicking on a user shows this) has a link to the user's game list. Fixed a bug that would show errors when trying to post a private message to "My Team" when your team had a computer player (or a borg/quitter). |

never getting a turn in a game. Optimized timer code, now timer runs every 15 minutes, allowing for 1 hour, 30 and 15 minute game timeouts. Fixed the timer bar on the home page to be more intuitive. The full bar shows all time that the user has until he or she is skipped. The vertical lines represent when reminders are sent. |

these numbers is a link to playback the history. This will allow you to graphically step through the turns that
have completed so far. Added an RSS feed to show your current active games. Show number of games waiting on you, highlight waiting games more prominently. Fixed bug: when leaving a game if you had already been defeated, would be marked as a loss twice. |

If you won a game in the last two days (since 1.6.1 was released), let me know the game number and I'll credit you the points. |
| 1.6.1 | June 04 2006 | bugfix: allow players to place capitols if they didn't in initial placement (for old games) show card symbols for all territories (not just owned ones). |
| 1.6.0 | June 03 2006 | Give 10 points to everyone when a player is defeated Added 25/100 menu items to add/remove army dropdowns Made it possible to select a fortress as a capitol; this will remove the fortresses defensive bonus while it is a capitol.

| 1.5.0 | April 18 2006 | Fixed bug which showed incorrect player on stats page after viewing a computer player. Fixed problem where borgified player's names were not being set. Don't tag a player who has left a game as borgified, rather mark them as "quitter". Save state after conquering a territory to the DB. Previously after conquering a territory, if a player quit the web browser (or it crashed, or the connection died), he or she would not be able to march troops into the newly-conquered territory. This is now fixed which should make LandGrab completely failsafe WRT connection breakage. Fixed a couple of Internet Explorer bugs, including not being able to send private messages (thanks FBGs for finding that one). Better color handling for player and territory colors. Allows usage of more/custom colors. Tooltip rework:
