Map Modes

Post by cdsys »

I would suggest following, have map modes. For example:
- current map mode a s standard
- simplefied terrain view
- simplefied ground state view
...

A bit like all the map modes you have in for example EU4. This could help with planning and make it easier to look up a path through swamp hexes for example.

I'm assuming simplified terrain view is just a solid hex coloring tied to what terrain is in the hex, right? e.g. dark blue could = swamp.

I have no idea what you mean by "simplified ground state view", however.

Yes terrain would be solid colors.

Ground state would be solid colors too for clear, light mud, heavy mud... (proper term would probably be ground condition).

I understand, now. Yes, I agree. Those maps modes are helpful in other games and would be nice, here, too.

Other map modes could for example be rail or road mode. In those modes show all the hexes in the same color (except blue for water). That way you would have a clearer view of the transport network.
