civ wars autohost slight change

[XGDeath3]

Please have the bot host with an HCL of "n". After some extensive code review, I found the old map maker had this in the code. It will allow for a "normal" game - no risk of space race, era, timeless, etc.

Thank you!

What's wrong with all the other modes?

[XGDeath3]

There is an issue where certain players will use the -era modern and -space mode in conjunction. They will do this without telling anyone and then, because bots spam text at game start, players can't see game mode. The player who selected this mode takes his opponents by surprise and beings making for space race victory. It becomes impossible to beat this due to the time advantage at the start. These 2 modes were never meant to be played together and in fact most custom modes were meant for specific inhouse tournaments or testing. The main game type is the default one and it should be used in all normal games. If someone wants to play special game modes, they should host themselves.

The autohost bot should host the default game with the "most fair" rule set and not allow other modes. This will settle some complaints that have been posted on these forums before.
