There was a suggestion some years(?) ago that players should have full vision inside their borders, to offset such information leakage. I think that is a reasonable idea. > (Also, I would like borders to be fogged like units and cities > too, but that is an issue for another ticket...) You mean last seen borders would be "remembered" by the player, instead of being given as it really is? IIRC, and this starts being quite a while ago, the first borders implementation was like this. It was a horrible mess. I do not think you want to go back there. What problem would this solve, in any case? - Per _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
