Improvement: display host map settings during selection phase
Published on Friday, March 13, 2015 By JugglerDigital In Offworld Trading Company
In the most recent patch during the selection phase it now provides feedback on if you will get a bonus claim.
I think it would be helpful to also show the host map settings in the area where the bonus claims are shown.
Pretty much every game I play, once selection begins, I forget what map settings the host has set. These being Map size, resource min, resource presence.
It's actually really important to know these settings as it will/should dictate your settlement strategy. So I just think it would be an improvement to re-publish this information context in-game during settlement.
One could say that part of being a good player is memorizing these settings so you have the advantage during settlement. But the most recent patch that provides feedback on claim bonuses has already destroyed that taboo. So I think it should also re-publish the map settings. In my opinion auto calcing bonus claims and map settings is a positive thing and makes the game more accessible, enjoyable and does not detract from high level play.
