Re: Immersion - description of provinces
Adding a text field that would come up in the info button would be nice and possibly not hard to do. Its worth adding to the wishlist. I think its probably too late to get it now. Especially since they would have to generate a map with the new maximums, and full descriptions for each province. Then test it in a large multiplayer game to see if it doesnt crash

Re: Immersion - description of provinces
If they allow it, there should also be an option to turn it off. I've found that color text is generally interesting/ cute/ entertaining once, and then is just clutter.

Re: Immersion - description of provinces
Well, I for one find that color like this keeps me playing a game much much longer. I like plot, history, backstory... whatever you want to call it. I also think that it can provide strategically useful game information if done cleverly.

Re: Immersion - description of provinces
It's a matter of taste, mood, and the quality of the writing. That's why I didn't say I was against it, just that I'd like to be able to turn it off.

Re: Immersion - description of provinces
I can understand that... it does seem that it would be pretty easy to ignore a few lines of text in a scouting reporting though... if it doesn't interest you. I think the positive potential would be pretty significant.

Re: Immersion - description of provinces
They have descriptions on about everything else in the game, surly they should have some on provinces.

Re: Immersion - description of provinces
I agree it would be worthwhile functionality to have added later, even if the guys decide they don't have the time to actually create descriptions for all of the maps that come with the game. It would be nice if they were able to illustrate one popular map with thematic text, but if they don't, it would still be nice to have the capability to do it to the maps we make.
