Save game settings for future setups
By clicking 0 through 8 at the bottom of the game set up lobby, a settings profile can be loaded. It can then be modified and used or modified and saved. If saved, the next time that number is chosen, it will display the settings as they were when it was saved. These 9 profile settings are attached to the users account. Once information is saved in one of the profile numbered locations, the square for it will change to light blue, and the one that is clicked on will be green. If you click on a profile numbered location that has not been used yet, nothing changes on the screen except that numbered profile location box turns 50% green, showing that it is currently selected but does not have anything saved in it. By clicking save, the current selection information would be saved in it and it's box would become 100% green. This allows for profiles to be cloned and changed. Clicking on the word "PROFILE" returns to the default settings and un-highlights any profile buttons.

AlexInAuburnThe above system of cloning only works for the cloning when one of the profile numbered locations is empty. Otherwise you just have to select one that is used already and change it and save over it, destroying the information that was in it before.
A better method may be to click a profile location, Hold shift and click the profile location you want to duplicate information to. Then that location can be edited and saved with the changes wanted to distinguish it from the original location. -

Coletta MergedYou should be able to set preferences for each setting to default to when you create a game. For example, I almost always set my games to very fast and it is annoying and unnecessary to have to do it every time.

Bigwig MergedI create a new game every time I play. I set everything the way I like...VF/hide, etc. It would be nice to be able to just hit a button that creates a game from that template. Thanks!

bocabenI think the simplest and most immediate solution would be to simply have it remember what you picked the last time you were Host, and just have a button for "Revert to Default" for those who want to start over and/or possibly "Revert to Previous Settings" if you made it Default but then want to change it back to your previous settings. I think it over-complicates things for each person to have to maintain 10 different saved profiles, and this would suffice for the vast majority of Hosts.

GuenetteI agree with @bocaben, this doesn't necessarily need to be over-engineered to satisfy the masses.
Storing some data on the user's account about the last settings used in a custom game would be great. This will help avoid my private game from defaulting as public when I first spool it up. -

EsqarrouthAnother alternative: Your next match could automatically load the settings of the previous game

Legolas88it's a simple feature, as is often the case with help desk or dev requests the user tries to solve the problem but as Coletta says, just add the option to make settings default, or some type of save to favorites.
