Player of 0AD Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 What about giving each player the tech "cartography" right at the beginning instead, for free? I don't really see why it should be good that the tech has to researched first, especially as it has been removed from the market. In my opinion the tech "diaspora" should also be easier to get, wouldnt that be more fun? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it was before it was changed to a tech at the market. Also I think there was a mod making this a game option for a23. As for the idea in the OP, what is the issue with having people announce their position in team chat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( sometimes the partners are not so nice to my in the team chat. as if I were doing it on purpose. some beginners don't say it either. was the same with me. ) maybe the effort to program this is too great Edited April 30, 2021 by seeh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for me it is only about the rough orientation and that you don’t have to write a lot in the chat at the beginning. often also ask. unnecessary and sometimes a long time.

I agree with nani. In some random maps players of 1 team could be spawned all in a cluster at the centre, in which case this pointing system is useless. In more extreme cases 4 players could all spawn on the diameter of the circle, which messes up the pointers. Telling your teammates position and discussing which strategy to adopt is crucial. You still need to scout to find out which enemy is next to you, which will determine your strategy. Maybe your teammate knows that enemy's playstyle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
