If a Player Leaves, Allow a Human to Replace their Bot after 3 Rounds
Lots of people don't want to play against bots (because they don't know what they're doing). But human players often leave a game for one reason or another.
To solve this, if the human who originally had a position in a game does not return after 3 rounds of absence, allow a human to take the position of a bot in a game if that position was originally held by a human. This both gives time for them to return if their connection dropped out and means the other players can still play an all-human game for the majority of the game.

b' MergedOn player dropout, currently bots automatically take slot. Allow for a "substitute" option on main katan.io menu, above join games list. This will allow players to choose to sub for a player, who has dropped out, and improve the gameplay experience by reducing bots.
For an example implementation that works well, see tf2center dot com. -

CodaGive the player who joins a game "contributions" to encourage players to be substitutes.

KnightWood MergedAllow people to join a game they weren't originally part of to take over a bot's seat if the og player has been gone for more than 5 min.
