Suggestion: show map size in MP when shroud is on

[Sulla]

Hi everyone,

first of all, a very great game you have made there!

One small thing I would find useful is to know how large
the map is in MP when there is shroud. Since I do not have
the time to play large maps usually I need to know befor I join.
Might be an issue to some other people as well?

All the best

Yeah, similar situation here. I'm really don't like have the time or patience for some of those massive maps.

At the moment, I find it best not to join shouded maps (since the creator will have an advantage before the game begins and you are unable to determine the map size).

I think showing map size would help, but I still don't like the advantages it gives to players who already know the map.

no, it is not, just a silly screen nam I thought of...

I did not post a lot in forums so do you sign with your real name then?
Just curious what is the usual way to do it.

No, people usually don't use their real names.

I don't usually sign at all- I suppose you can do whatever you prefer.

I was wondering if your name was based on the multiplayer map, "Sulla's Ruins." Subliminal suggestion perhaps?

[Sulla]

Yes, I suppose it was subliminal suggestion... although at the time of making up the name I was rather thinking of that old roman general...

I have also wanted to know map size before starting multiplayer games.

I was going to write a patch to add that to the game, but then I got busy with work and didn't have time. Now that I see others want the same thing, maybe I'll find time to do it.
