Um, ctually, that's not true. The data is all IN there already -- EVERY PLAYER gets that same .GAM file. So, that .gam file already includes data on which worlds are colonies -- and even, what EXACT facilities are on each, etc.

You don't quite get it. There always needs to be one overall "true picture" copy of the map, which is what you're focussing on.
The suggestion would multiply the size by up to 21 times, since a separate map needs to be maintained for what each player saw Last time they were there...
One real map, and 20 variants, based on each empire's knowledge.

DaveG, Thanks for putting this together. 3 options is a great idea. It realy forces you to say where you would like Arron to focus his efforts.

That's what I was trying to say, just couldn't find the right explanation, I guess... With the current game file, the only thing that could be accomplished is a slightly toned down Version of omnipresent viewpoint.

IIRC, the combat data is stored in *.cmb files, but it has been a while since I've played, so I might be hallucinating

Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
Speaking of omnipresent view, what exactly does this do? I've never used it in a game and I've always wondered what it did.

Re: POLL->things we\'d really like in Next Patch (Platinum II)
You can see everything in the quadrant. Think "god mode"... although I don't think you can see things like opponent ship designs, facilities on planets, etc. It's just like having a bare-bones satellite in each system, pretty much.
