Playback/Replay/Rewind/Review/History Game Feature[REJECTED]

[markme]

I would think that it would be cool if you could rewind the game to see what has happened, when you play alot of games you can forget what has happened.
I think it would be cool to see who attacked but didnt win. If someone is attacking me but didnt take my territory i would want to know who did it

Game Log 2.0 will have an expandable feature that will state "Player A attacked Territory X but did not conquer." or something similar to that.

* Suggestion Idea: After a Fog Of War game is completed, allow players to view an animation, which replays the game, so one can visually experience what happened under the fog.
* Specifics: Enable a button or option to replay a game after it finishes. It might be beneficial to have different speed options, or different detail options. For example, you might show every army won or lost (if this is possible) or you might only show each country conquered. The viewer can see how the game progressed.
* Why it is needed: Currently, you can reconstruct the game from reading the game log. However, this is tedious. Watching a game in replay mode would be more enjoyable and more intuitive.

If this has already been suggested, consider this my vote to add this feature!

Thanks,

this could be beneficial even in games without fog. if there is a secret alliance or a multi that is not defending a boarder, this can be spotted after the game is completed and not just as the action is occurring.

wou would only see ownership, it doesnt record the army numbers

[InkL0sed]

Maybe this will be in Game Log 2.0?

[Coleman]

Yeah, I think this was a lot of the motivation of Game Log 2.0 as the current game log doesn't allow for this since there is no indication of where everyone started.

I just got this idea, but I'm not sure how practical it would be to implement. After a game has been completed, people can go back and see how the map started at the beginning of the game, and maybe between each individual turn. It would make it MUCH easier than reading the log, and kinda show how the luck played into the game, if it applies.

[BaldAdonis]

You can get a script in add-ons to show you who owned what at any stage in the game, but the log doesn't keep track of how many armies were at each place, so you can't get an exact replay of any game that has finished until a different logging system is in place.

This might be a silly idea and impossible to do, but it would be cool to see it in action.

After a game is done, go to your finished games, pick a game you are interested in, then click a button to watch the game from beginning to end in autoplay. Some how use the information in the game log and recreate the game.

This way you can learn what you did wrong or what someone else did right. Turn off the fog of war and see what was happening behind the scenes.

There wouldn't be any animation. Just color changes on the map showing deployments and attacks and fortifications in a time line progression. This would be a neat way to learn strategy.

If you have the BOB plug in, you could see troop sizes change before your eyes on the map.

Did that makes sense?
