Whole Map Visible on the Mini-Map Upon Game End Says what it says, I would love to see the progress of the enemy team when we lose.
Their progress is that they have half a dozen tanks parked round the wreckage of your command vehicle, you get a very good view of that when the game ends, and you were probably there when they overran your base before that. I don't see any reason not to do it but I don't see any reason to do it either.
yeah if you view the whole map it could give a little bit of flair to the game but idk if you zoom out that far if you can see everything well
No no no, you guys mistook what I meant, I meant the whole map would be visible on the mini-map, not to change your perspective from that of the wreaked Comm Vehicle. Like on other RTSs when you die you can see the entire map, no darkness (Empires doesn't have that anyway), no fog.
But you have to remember that at the time of that post he thought I meant that all players should be able to view the entire map from a third-person perspective up in the sky. This is not the case. I just want the mini-map to show everything it would if in spectator.
it might be fun to dick around about heavy tanks in your second base that "if only"... but otherwise i dont see a reason i dont see a reason not to ether, its just like how do you want it to be if it ends
To prove that I was in fact mining your com just before you won. In case you didn't know, minimap icons are pretty recent, before everything was just squares. So showing a field of squares at the end would have been utterly pointless, which is probably why it was never implemented - because as you said, all other RTSes have this. Now though it would work, so I don't see why not.
It would be nice to have a marker on the map where the game ending event took place. Sometimes I wonder where the last enemy person was or where the CV was.
No I didn't. I assumed you meant the minimap, there are obvious reasons why the whole map should not and possibly cannot be made visible.
Oh, my bad then. But yeah, sometimes I like to see how pwned we were at the end, and I like Melarion's idea of a marker where the CV died, or rather just put your personal mini-map icon whereever you are specing, like when someone suicides and it skips to them, your arrow in the minimap should be at where they suicided.
