Re: [feature request] Last view of a province info
Quote:
It actually doesnt even have to be a matter of file transfer bandwidth. This information that msew is proposing to store is all specific to your nation.. So why not just store it on the client side? Add a directory under the game directory like Intel or something. And just store everything you know about each province in there. Load it up and apply that to the GUI when you load your turn.
This would of course require the devs to write functionality to save and load this kind of information. And a flag which indicates whether a given piece of intel is new or old. Not trivial, but without knowing the codebase it seems like it could be reasonable to request this.

Excellent points. The read/write has to be ironed out for Windows, linux, solaris, and mac. But on the other hand thats already done with the turn files.
I wonder how much space it would take. Of course there are ways to do it more efficiently than text. But 17 nations on a 500 province map might affect the hosts ability to run multiple games.
