| Summary | 0019564: After loss, galaxy map should not be revealed. | ||||
| Description | Per Magnus: You might want to adjust this, otherwise players will just lose on purpose to study the map then reload a previous savegame. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

If a user wants to have access to this information and take advantage of it, there's already a "Debug: show entire map" option readily available (and there were cheats in AIWC as well). If a player wants to play with full information we should let them. If I lost a close-fought game I think there's something cathartic in looking at how strong the AI was, like going over a chess game with my opponent after a loss. That saud, perhaps we shoupd make "reveal full map on game loss" a Setting |

This is... a really good point. |

I do take Magnus' point though, where if I wanted to save-scum a lost game I might not want the galaxy map shown (because that would be cheating and I want to play honest). I propose either a setting "Show Galaxy Map on loss" or a button "Show Galaxy Map" that pops up once you've lost the game (lets say you died but maybe you want to watch the Nanocaust kill the AI after it killed you). |

Knowing in advance if you're going to want to save-scum seems to border on precognition, though. ;) |
