Pot Luck vs. Default Force Selection

I just noticed that if you play a game as a Pot Luck army with Default Force selection that you do not get Default Force Selection, but Auto Force Selection instead. It would be nice if you could optionally just use Pot Luck to select the army, but still be able to make your own force selection.

You do get Default Force selection, you just don't get Player Force selection. That is why it is called "Default" rather than "Player" because the default is "Auto" for Pot Luck armies.

This was partly for technical reasons, which have been resolved. The next version of the DLC beta (v1.2.4) will allow Player or auto force selection to be chosen for Pot Luck armies in both SP and MP games. This will then go live when the DLC is released. As you are in the beta group, you will get to try it out sooner (maybe early next week).

As you know, I primarily use Auto Force Selection, so this is not a big deal for me personally. I only noticed this because I wanted to test another great feature added in the Beta.
