The game have complained when I try to do wierd things, like setting
nb-move-tries to 1. But nothing except that!

Narh, lets wait for 0.0.8!

Only displaying the winner seems like a good idea. I imagine that it
will have more showoff-value than displaying the three best players.

I see if I can come up with something. I imagine that some of it could
be animated, but that is something which requires programming.

Okay, I see what I can come up with!

How about locking the size of the window?

PS: Do you remember that I complained that levels I had recently
deleted appeared in the games map selection menu as if they were
folders? I uninstalled 0.0.6 and installed 0.0.7, but the problem
stayed.

Then I came up with a bright idea - searching for one of the level
folders which I knew shouldn't exist. The folders I thought I had
killed for good, was hiding here:

C:\Users\Kasper\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Liquid War 6\map

As I understand it, Windows Vista don't want the users to mess with
the application folder. So when I try to edit something in the map
folder, it is saved in that VirtualStore folder instead.
