View neutrals on a map

Within each fog game there should be a button to display all neutrals.
Just wondered how many of them are in the center on Vertex. Had to use game finder and select sunny Vertex, find a round 1 game, and see there are 10 neutrals in the center.

It's not that hard, but there should be a shortcut.

It can't take long before someone will link you to a thread in which this is already suggested. You could search for it yourself, too.
I agree with you, though, it'd be a lot easier for something that isn't a big secret.

This submitted suggestion covers the basic idea, but wouldn't necessarily put a button within the game page.

Not in the game itself. Whilst it is easy to find the neutrals on a map, whilst in a game, it could lead to finding out which bonus a player has.

Agreed, that's why I said button which will open map image with neutrals scattered around like they are.

What if we put this image in "start a game" instead of a blank one? Or wherever you click the thumbnail to view the map.

This would really annoy me. I understand the need to have it but to have it displayed there. :sick:

I would much rather try to implement this with another suggestion that I saw at some point. The one where you get a link to the maps thread on the game page itself. Then all we need is to update the threads OP with a neutrals map, most of the maps that came out over the last 2 years already have this for xml checking so we are only talking about 200 maps. :lol: This would keep the other images on the site clean, allow for this to be implemented without a lot of fuss.

And this: https://www.conquerclub.com/forum/viewt ... 9#p3591409

Both of those ideas combined with this would be the most ideal solution. Use the name as the link to the thread, update all threads to include a neutrals map and you have a win win for all players.

I agree with you on this, koontz.

I would set up a new thread then with a link to all three of the originals then. Send a quick PM to the other participants and lets see if we can get a quick resolution to this one.
