Suggestion: Mini-Map Feature

Not really needed, you can already zoom in and out as well as drag the map around. If we had a massive map, maybe, but we don't.

@Butter Ball Bill,

We already have a massive map. It's called Scenario: Europe - Clash of Nations.

Do you realize how large it is when you are zoomed out at the maximum?

Yeah. Not that big. If we had a world map, sure, but we don't. It isn't a problem really. Why do you want it? I see no reason to have, what is your reason?

To answer you: Convenience and ease of use. As a feature, its a tool that can be used to help navigation for many players and keep the entire map in a view port.

Panning and moving the box would quickly and easily move the perspective view to the appropriate area as desired by the players.

Perhaps it can be reduced if desired by pressing the arrow button at the top-right to minimize it?

How does everyone else feel about this idea and these suggestions?

Please write your thoughts below!

I cant really see how it would help to have a minimap. The game runs by real time which makes it easy to see all that needs to be seen by scrolling through the map normally. It would be helpful for those who dont like sliding along the map. But it wouldn't impact it that much. I'm kinda split between you and Butters on this one.

It would do a great job of wasting the devs time.

Please keep criticism constructive.

It does seem less than essential, but I remember when the minimap in supremacy used to project large squares when truly huge armies began gathering, which was a nice feature.

I don't think the minimap should be first on the devs list of what to add or fix but it could be added at some point. Maybe when the game is more developed.

I cant help but think you're just trying to turn this into s1914

This game doesn't need a minimap at present.

I think it would be a useful tool for those who need to use it. Whilst you might not need it, others may think it is pretty handle tool. I'm not say it should be created right now, but should be thought of for the future.
