#149942: "Assign Losses Automatically"

• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
(Not a bug, just a suggestion.) Currently the game pauses a lot to ask folks to pick which unit will take a loss in battle. But (unless I'm missing something) actually there's no need to do this in most cases because it's usually determined which type of unit has to take the loss, and there's no functional difference between different units in the same category. There are some times where players do have decisions to make, e.g. whether a highland or a non-Highland Metropolitan brigade will take a loss. But there's basically never a reason to take a loss on a Highland rather than another Metropolitan brigade, so even though this is technically a choice I don't think it needs to be on here when it'd slow things down. Which Indian unit to take as a loss sometimes does matter, e.g. in a multi-Year scenario you should preferably take as a loss a unit whose Village is going to be occupied at the start of next Year. So it'd be great to streamline this a bit. Also I'm not sure if the implementation currently always requires you to take losses on an already flipped unit, but 13.4 is clear that Reduced units have loss priority over Full in the same category, so that also removes the need for some decisions.

Thanks so much!
