Great idea.

Could be very useful for the ones teaching Cooks!

Interesting idea, but I'm not sure it would be workable or easy to implement.

I as well, like the idea. However it has been tossed around several times, and is one of the harder ones to implement.

Now this may seem a bit off kilter. It may have already been spoken of previously, I apologize for not checking earlier posts first, But I had a brief vision of being able to replay the games from the beginning to the end in a playback form. To be able to see as players take over the map and the battles that ensue. It would be like the data log describing each turn move, but with it happening on the map. A bit frivolous, but cool sounding.

With troop numbers and all that? That would be...cool, I guess. I think it's been suggested before, though.

Has been suggested before. Many players disapproved of it because players didn't want others to know how they played a certain game with Fog of War.

What if it was available for all except fog games? That way those hidden tactics could stay hidden, but players would be able to see how games were played out in other style of games? I think its a good idea, and i have wanted to see this myself on some games.

Or in a fog game, you can only see the game from your perspective.. so things you wouldn't have been able to see would have still been foggy

Oh come on. This is like when you're playing poker with a bunch of non-fun people. It's a game. If you bluff, show your hand. Don't be a little bitch about it: "I don't want them knowing if I bluff or not!".

…

You do realize there is a button that allows you to show the entire log (even in a foggy game!) without the ?'s, right?

If someone is really as uptight and committed enough to watch an entire game with the sole purpose of seeing how a person tends to play a foggy game—a very broad umbrella description, by the way; playing styles vary based on drop, rolls, etc.—they would already do so with the log.

if this were lex and terry radio they would have hung up on you after hearing the title for ur thread

I really like this idea.

I actually tried to do this in a 1v1 with screenshots taken before and after every turn, and then I put them together. It sort of worked, but was labor intensive, and anyways, the little numbers are hard to take in at a glance.

Having said that, I am pretty sure this was suggested before, and was shot down due to the amount of processing or server power it would take. I think Sully worked out the math and figured that even with the current game log info, it would require way too much. If I can find that thread I will post a link.

A second suggestion would be to work on a community developed program. You could try getting some of the tech guys together and see if the same info that runs map rank could run a game replay add on.
