Feature Request: Golden Connecting Ley Lines

from AshesoftheSingularity Forums

On the zoomed in map it will be soo much easier to see which ways the zones are connected if we had the connecting >>>>>>> lines in a Much more visible color or effect.  Often, have to zoom way in to see which way over the mountains (hard to tell the difference in low/mid mountain areas that are passable or not).  The lines are currently clearly displayed on the strategic map, but not on the gameplay map.  Example, with the fog of war, some starting areas hard to tell which way is the way out or the next zone.  All of this can be so easily corrective if the lines were much more visible or at least have a setting option to map them much more visible. 

My 2 cents.

 

 

ps. I brought this up back in April, but not much response to it.

The majority of people have asked for the removal of the lines or to make them more subtle. In Ashes they are very clear as it currently stands but in Escalation they have made them more subtle. It works for some terrains but for others it is too much, I especially find it almost impossible to see on the green/grass maps. Easier on the others but I've not tested snow ones I think. Ideally it would be an in-game option so people could choose between a subtle line and a more obvious one.

Wouldnt the strategic zoom solve the issue?  Should be very clear in that what's connected right?

Let's make it pink!

 

On a more serious note.  I can agree that in certain situations, mountains for one, it is very difficult to see at a glance.

 

How about this:

  • In options, under UI an area specifically for these Ley Lines
    • Seperate control under the following headings:
      • Color selection via a color wheel
      • Brightness
      • Opacity

 

Users would have full control of this feature, and the defaults will remain complete.  For tournament/multiplayer use this option is able to be disabled during game setup.
