<Subject>:

As it stands, with the current system if you want a map you are playing on set to large then all the maps are set to large version.
would it be possible to only have certain maps set to large


<Body>:

* Suggestion Idea:to be able to specify which maps you want set to large and which ones you want set to small

* Specifics: Have a list off all the maps in 'My Settings' and tick the maps you want to have set to large.

* Why it is needed: It is needed becasue maps in production now have a lot or territorys, which means that the small versions are cramped in comparison to the large versions supermax prison riot for example

doesn't matter to me, I wont ever play the small version.


It is annoying to have to change the map size everytime you take a turn in a game with a different map.

Not a bad idea. In the settings page, When it asks "Use large maps?" the answers could be "Yes", "No, " and "Custom" which would open a list of maps with which you could change the setting.

I like to use smalls maps because most are not that crowded so there is no need to change to large, also, with large maps you would have to scroll down to view the dice and choose where to attack/fortify from. :roll:

(edit) i was typing while you posted, and thanks :D

Why not just change your resolution. I hate it when you got a huge res.

This is an interesting idea I'll put it on the list as Unclassified and see what Lack has to say about it.

*edit* Also wanted to mention your excellent use of the form a real rarity these days :)

I like this idea, and agree that some map are too crowded to use small version. I used to use large on all, but now have switched to small because I don't have to scroll down to view the dice rolls :)

Both thumbs up. It'd be even nicer if it got the information from a cookie or something - I use two different computers with different resolutions.
