Fog of War Logs change

Postby whakamole on Fri Mar 19, 2010 7:26 pm

Concise description:
  • Change log handling in Fog games such that attacked player can see which territory they lost.

Specifics:
  • Fog logs currently read (to individual b who loses territory X): "a assaulted ? from ? and conquered it from b."
  • Change logs to read "a assaulted X from ? and conquered it from b."
  • Alternatively both ?'s could be made visible, as 'b' ostensibly had knowledge of both territories prior to getting his ass handed to him.

Improvements/rationale:
  • Since the territory which is lost was at the time of attack visible to and known by the defender (who lost the territory) they should be able to easily determine from the log which territory they lost. This can be overcome with snapshots via BOB but not everyone uses the utility, and going through snapshots can be tedious.
  • This is particularly relevant to start of game situations where I (and I presume others) frequently don't see the board until their turn comes up. So for instance in game 6622325 one of my holdings got taken before I took inventory of where it was. With this information supplied in the log, because when the game started my in-game persona was aware of where my troops were dropped, I'd have information about where red now has 2 territories. I think this is information that all players have the right to.
