- This seems hard to combine with special ToD areas (like caves, but others are possible). One weird case will be the "illuminates" ability which will causes the move of 1 unit to affect the vision of other units (including enemies).
- Vision uses MP and MP terrain cost. Removing/adding 1MP or 1 tile from vision is different, and will have different consequences. The first is simpler but will sometimes have no impact(on terrain costing 2MP), and the later will break even more the link with movement. - Adding 1 tile can be weird, since it will ignore terrain MP cost. Vision is already reachable zone + 1 tile, so 1 more tile will allow units to see through impassable walls. I suppose you can add special rule for impassable terrain and how vision propagates, but that's one more "special thing" compared to the old simpler rules. That often bites at some point. - As you probably guessed, reducing vision without changing movement introduces new UI problems. For example, with "delay shroud update", where you can be surprised by moving next to a enemy in fog, or even move into fog/shroud if you remove more than 1 tile. BTW, using forum is better for early stages of an idea. Forum also allows to check if this was suggested before, but there is a rule about FPI there ;-) Alink On Thu, Jul 1, 2010 at 7:25 AM, Chris Carpenter <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, I'd be surprised if this hasn't been suggested before, but I > thought I might mention it anyways. > > First off, i've been playing wesnoth for quite a while, off and on, and > keep wanting to get involved in it's development, but something always > comes up.
