These are the dumbest Idea I have ever heard.

I started to wonder just what else was in that bottle of scotch.  :confused:

This is the 2nd forum idea I have seen get done immediately by Hitech in the last few months.   

I love that HTC is being responsive to good ideas, but I have to wonder just what Mrs. Hitech is putting in his food.

Sorry, but I don't want to "know what the other side is doing". If they are preparing a NOE or sending a CV somewhere is indeed their business, no mine.

I want to know the situation of the overall war, and particularly how close it is to getting won. And actually I didn't even wish #1 for myself, as doing the calculations is quick for me. But most players don't have the field start ownerships memorized, and I don't think they should be required to do so.

Or is there anything actual detrimental to it I didn't see yet? :)

yes it is, because it's public information..

The map shows how many bases each side owns.. You have a problem with the status window counting them and displaying a total?  :rolleyes:

I miss the days of helping run epic comebacks when my side was down to two fields left in warbirds.

One other benefit is that this concentrates the action.

Part of the "MYSTERY" of the game, not knowing whats going on, been working for the 12 years I have been here. As far as "most players" maybe they need to "learn the game" not just play it :bhead

#1

Could give most players a better clue how 'the war' is going and particularly if one side is about to win it. Currently you would have to know the initial base distribution, count captured fields and compare that number to the total number of fields to do the same if it's not your own country.

Would Love to see this implemented in MW and EW please. Thanks in advance. :salute
