Feature request: easy-access toggles for army movement opts
Hi, I've just registered Lux, and I'm really enjoying it! One thing that would make it much easier to play would be a toggle, right in the game window or nearby, allowing me to choose the army movement style (move all vs move manually) and combat mode (once/until X deaths/until dead). It's annoying to have to open the Preferences to change these, and I find I need to do it a few times each game, since moving all armies isn't always appropriate, but doing it manually is a bit of a pain when it's not needed.
A couple of other questions I can't seem to resolve from the documentation:
- Is there a shortcut for placing 5 or 10 armies at once? (If not, that's another feature request: perhaps option-click or Apple-click or Ctrl-click could mean placing different numbers of armies?)
- How do I find out how many extra armies the "continents" are worth in randomly-generated game boards? In "Classic Risk" I can remember from playing the actual game, but for other boards I'm never sure how much a continent is worth, and thus I don't know how much to risk (so to speak) to get it.
But these are all minor things: overall, a great game! Thanks for developing it!
Cheers,
Dave

Deploying Armies:
- CMD = 5 armies
- OPT = 10 armies
- SHFT = all armies
- CMD = attacks Until Dead if setting is Once or Until X Deaths, attacks once if setting is Until Dead (I would prefer it to attack Once instead of Until Dead if setting is Until X Deaths, but oh well.)
- SHFT = attacks Moving All if setting is Move Manually, attacks Moving Manually if setting is Move All.
