applied either to the whole sets of picks, or each pair of picks individually

extension: ffa shuffle picks

Do you want the chance to customisable 0 to 100% rather than always 50%?
Do you want it to be customisable for swapping with random player or swap with players that aren't teammates?
Do you want swaps to always be between the same 2 players or be random?

Imo chance of swap should go by pick number else gets too complicated. Like if random number > chance of swap then all territories that are #1 (or whatever pick number it is) will all be swapped with someone else.

¤ no, unless there's a compelling reason it's better to be more focused
¤ if it avoids teammates, to help cluster picks, the strategic implications seem complicated, maybe best to not
¤ random
¤ yes. but in an ffa, it would be better to take all #n picks and shuffle them than to have a 1-1/players chance of doing some series of swaps
¤ also alternate mode where all sets of picks are shuffled, preserving each set of picks and giving each player 1/p chance of keeping their original picks

goal is to eliminate the advantage of skilled pickers without the unbalance of random picks

How about using Hybrid Distribution or Hybrid Distribution 2 mods where some picks are done manually and some are done automatically?
