| Summary | 0004460: Make a minimap for the world map | ||||
| Description | Right now, my world map is 50 squares wide, and it will only get wider and wider. A minimap would help to get an overview of it; where unerected windshelters are, where undefeated overlords/lieutenants are, perhaps a colorcoded overlay of comparative levels (like the circles around spells), etc. | ||||

I think it would be great if this minimap was interactive in the sense that you could click on it to recenter the main point of view on where you clicked. Dragging of the point of view would be nice too but would probably demand more time to implement. |
|
|
I think this might still have some value, even with the new continents system. But, it's not a big priority. |

Yeah, I was contemplating poking for it to be closed. But it's actually a bit more relevant than before, in some cases; you can no longer see the shape of the world, if you forget where the continents are; the best you can do is sail around and hope you find something. With a minimap, you'd be able to see where the continents are. |
|
|
I decided to poke this a bit harder. While you're on a continent, everything is within viewing distance, sure; however, once the Overlord has been killed and the new continent is generated, you have to sail around to try to find it. For the first two or so Overlords, that isn't so bad, but for the fifth? Tenth? There'll be lots of possible positions for the new continent, and sailing around just to find the next continent would quickly become a bore (It took me several minutes of sailing to find the third Overlord on my MP map after someone killed the second). |

|
And if not a minimap, then at least some kind of arrow pointing to the newest continent. |
