When in lobby , to much time goes on how to setup game, If there were some presets sometimes we could use them.
Here it is how it would look like

They could be Humans vs CPU and Humans vs Humans and depending on number of players, schemas will filter.
They could be
None
1 vs 1 - this could have map One on One, tiles "something" etc.
5 vs 3
Easy CPU 1
Easy CPU 2
Hard CPU 1

The map format would probably have to be changed (or additional information tied with maps in a separate file) in order to be able to filter by "x vs y" style maps (since maps don't contain this information).
-
Having the map file (showing only maps for the selected # of players) on the headless as well (we already have it when you host yourself) this would already make things a lot easier.
About the options Alket suggests, these could be displayed whether or not they make sense in terms of start positions as long they matches the total # of player for the currently selected map (i.e. "5vs3" would be an option on a 4vs4 map, but 2vs2 wouldn't).

I had an idea which is not really the same, but targets the same problem. What about saved game setups? Currently we only save the last game setup so the general thing is there. What we would need is something where we can manage the saved game setups in a comfortable way. As this means a lot of GUI work, this is something we better do when the new GUI system is working one day.

... What about saved game setups?...
In my opinion multiple saved setups available to restore is a great idea.

What about just start to save e.g. "3 last different configurations" and simply introduce 2 additional buttons like this:
"Reload last settings - 2", "Reload last settings - 3"? In my opinion click on 3 buttons one by one and check available configurations looks quite comfortable and can be done without "a lot of GUI work".
