I realize this doesn’t address having cards during the draft phase. So maybe only automatically progress when you have 0, 1, or 2 cards.

Neutral Vote: Would work ok as an enable/disable setting. Just like enabling/disabling camera animations. This shouldn't be a forced change.

During draft phase: Could check for trade possible/forced true or false.

would be ok if as said by @amber flower where its an enable/disable feature and also I dont like it because the ai can mess up on if there isnt any valid spots for distribution during fortify and that could be added to the bots! also people are different on where they want troops relocated towards/at

I think some of the motivation behind me wanting this change (especially for attack/fortify phase) is when a player expends all their troops in frustration then exits the game without clicking the flag to immediately bot out. In that scenario all their territories would have a max of 1 army, so there would be no valid attacking option and no valid fortify option either.

I do think having an enable/disable setting would be nice.

I think draft phase with at least 3 cards is probably a bit tricky. If we check if they have a valid trade or not and if they do not have a trade and have deployed all their troops we might accidentally give other players additional information that the player did not have a trade.
