Improvements to "Custom game" screen

[Cynoid]

So, it occurred to me that the "Custom game" screen is a bit annoying to use. Indeed, each time you launch a game, everything need to be to set again to whatever your favorite parameters are.

Honestly, I think this screen need :
- A way to set all AI to the same difficulty at the same time
- The screen need to remember the world parameters of the previous world gen (Map type, number of players, Map size)
- A way to set all AI nations to "Random"
- And the screen should maybe remember the color/nations/bonuses used in the previous run (especially yours, but maybe the others as well)

It seems like a small-ish improvement in terms of dev time which would make the game much more fluid to use, especially when you are a player like me who likes to test different starting strategies and restart frequently.

Thanks for reading!

I fully agree with this. The custom game screen should just default to the last settings you used in the screen. That would remove a lot of the annoyance of creating a new game.

And yeah, setting the difficulty for all AI players at a time would be really nice. I almost never want to have one AI at a different setting from the others, so instead of going through five or seven AIs and setting them to the same difficulty, I could just change the overall difficulty in one step.

Can you imagine how much QA time was wasted because of this simple QoL fix?
It would've paid for itself before the game even released!
