      Mini-Map is essential to map creation. However it should be 'toggleable' so you don't inadvertently see someone elses scenario map if wanted to tweak the rules a bit.....
      Get 84 Resources, 96 Resources, or the NEW 153 Resources! Get Rockier Bonus Grassland versions1.0 or 2.0! Get My Mix of Snoopy and Womocks early terrain! Get Varied Goody Huts!
      Upcoming Mods - Optimator (with over 1000 new units!!!) & Godzilla, Revenge of the Kaiju!
      I am in dire need of new dino and Kaiju units!

        And you know this because you are intimately familiar with the source code of the editor? You've worked on it personally and conducted intensive studies regarding precisely what it would take to add a minimap? You are not the only one who wants a mini-map - it's something that's been asked for since 1.16 at least. However, as it is not required to make a good map (look around) and there are many, MANY other more pressing issues with the game (some which may even be resolved eventually, but who knows?) a minimap in the editor is not a huge priority. And, it may take more than a day to implement.

        I wish you had included in your poll the option "I hate you, Hagbart."

          Oh well then, we shouldn't forget the fourth option: "Rack off and Chill out Kilroy"

          Seriously...
          Maybe they are looking at the Map editor as a development task with zooming. I would think that they are dependent.

            Why do newbies always skip on the banana option? Banana's as a resource are more important than you minimap.

                Yes! Go bananas! Maybe a mandatory visit to the OT-forum for all newbies?

                    Nah, then we'd have to wade through even more Wiglaf-style posts

                    For the mini-map, I would not personally use it. I can't design maps well at all. However I do support it based on the fact that people who design maps would need this feature to design their maps efficiently without going insane. Thus, Yes.

                      "No I don't care" is really two of the possible answers. That is "No" or "I don't care".

                      Some that voted for "No I don't care", might have voted for "I don't care" - like I did...

                      Sorry but I am just a bit grumpy at the moment...
