Re: [feature request] Last view of a province info
That is a good suggestion. And of course that is possible but it would be crossing over the "recommended good practices for a PbEM game" line. There are many things we all request, and could be added, but the game is designed to be:
A) long download of the game (graphics, sounds, hi-res backgrounds)
B) short upload/download of turn files. Easily attached to emails even with size limits and slow connections to the net
C) anyone can host a game
Within that framework it is really hard for the game to keep track of things from turn to turn. That causes a problem with smart computer opponents, battle replays, history of Messages, scoreboard, cheat checking, and fog on maps just to name a few things. Keeping track of all of the province info, and who saw it (my report is different than your report on the same province), and when they saw it, would amount to alot of info. Keeping it at the host, or in each players turn files, or both would be kindof involved. Not impossible. If Johan K likes the idea and gets a brainstorm on how it can be done without being huge then it might get done.
