Pinging for land, something to do if others take too long

[Notagoodname]

I noticed that the ping tool (the thing that indicates something on the map) behaves differently on a land and on a water tile.

The ping tool is aligned to a grid and appears in the centre of a square however on water it appears slightly lower on the square. You can ping unexplored areas and measure the relative height to determine if a square contains land or water.






and yeah some people ALWAYS let the timer run out in multiplayer, i hate that and it's the reason i was bored enough to discover this trick

Oooooh nifty.

I suppose it'll get fixed. Until then I'll be sure to (ab)use it when other players subject me to boredom.

[Fried-Psitalon]

Heh, now THAT's precision boredom.

[Meef]

did you explore that terrain? maybe the ping also behaves different on unexplored tiles?

[Diadem]

Nice.

I'm sorry... why do you have so much time on your hand that you'd even think up such a thing?

[Jerh9e1k5]

wow you have the eyes of a hawk my friend

[Bobby Chicken]

you could outline the whole map on turn one, killing others with boredom.
