Granting New Host When Old Host Leaves (pre-game)

A New game is created. Multiple players are waiting for the host to start, then the host decides to leave. Now a new game has to be created and awaited for players to join. Why not just transfer the host to one of the other users?

Three times today- I waited for about 8 minutes for the players to fill up, only for the host to leave the room and leave the other players sitting in a game that can never start. It does not happen to me all that often, but when it does, it is slightly annoying.:wall:

An argument against this may be because the new host would change the settings and all the users would leave and find a new game anyway; however, it seems there is much support to locking the game settings already http://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=13868.

I support. The player who joins 2nd should be the vice host, so he can start if the host leaves.

Suggested many times before. It should just be over taken by the person with the best connection like when the host leaves during country picking. Well, i don't know if the person with the most stable connection takes over, but I would assume so.

Support. It has been asked multiple times, received lots of support, and there is no reason for it not to be this way. Mods please implement this.

Yeah, good idea
