I'm getting lost

January 7, 2013 12:31:59 PM from Elemental ForumsElemental Forums

It's too hard to navigate on the large map.  A couple changes could help.

#1 Allow post notes.  Use them as sign posts or whatever.

#2 Provide a means to determine coordinates for places of interest.

#3 Show owner of territories at the borders.  The AI knows them, why can't I?

#4 Give names of factions not just icons.  Is there a simple way to find the faction name from an icon on a city?

These are really good suggestions (I don't oppose the first 2, but I would like to highlight the latter 2 proposals). I would really enjoy this as it would make a better contrast to my play experience of which faction lives where.

Good, common sense points.

If you hover the cursor over the icon, it will give you the name of the faction.

If you hover the cursor over the icon, it will give you the name of the faction.

 

Still, instant faction availability beats out having to hover the mouse over each city you view.

Additionally, list faction names as "Faction (Sovereign)" instead of just the faction name.  In my first game, I made a custom sov without also creating a custom faction to go with him, so, in a later game, I had two factions both named "Altar" and no obvious way to tell which was which short of getting myself into the diplomacy screen and seeing which sov I ended up talking to.

I want to add... i cant see enemy turns they just making them so fast each turn i must search in which direction this army fled from in fog of war.

This is main disadvantage of this game mechanichs its not a strategy when it comes to scouting and understanding what each faction you see did in their turn with visible units.

 

And "enemy on your territory" dosent solve this problem if units are not on your territory but was spoted near some of your armies.
