Drawing on the World map

[Phainx]

We all love the world map in EU3 and EuIV will include bigger changes, however there is one thing i want, that would add an immense tactical advantage to both multilayer and single player games.

As you have guessed from the title i would like to draw on the world map. Games like Defcon you can draw on the world map and show it to your allies, the reason why this becomes so practical is that you can coordinate attacks much easier.
Imagine planing stages and preparing and implementing plans drawn on the world map.

So what do you think?

No no no you silly goose. He meant for EUIV. That screenshot was clearly from Hearts of Iron III.

P.S. cool idea.

>.<

Yes like that but for EU3

I need to play HOi3

Im going to go buy it now (if i have the cash)!

That would be pretty cool for multiplayer but I'm not sure how it would help in single player? Unless you have bad memory I guess

Does that mean that it'll be in Eu4 as well? It should!

That would be nice to have in MP games.

That would be awesome on mp, and cool in singleplayer too.

 

[Antiscamp]

For all the many AAR-writers that Paradox games seem to inspire, that function would be absolutely awesome.

 

[Grubnessul]

It would be awesome in general whether SP, MP, AAR writing or just frolicking around.

Yo Phainx, I think its time for a HOI3 game
Germany+Italy?
Edit: I agree. +1

I'm up when i get a good enough laptop to run HoI3

 

[Eh up me duck]

I remember fighting co-op wars in MP, it was a pain having to explain provincial movement. I'm assuming they're adding that HOI3 feature into EUIV, or are planning to but don't want to say a definite "yes" in case it causes too much hassle/doesn't work out.

The number of times I've tried to draw arrows onto a map, I need this.

That would be soooo useful (and probably very cool) for displaying where your troops and allied troops are heading to.

It's looks much better then guessing in SP where you allied AI are heading, or in MP and typing in chat/type to your allies.

 

[Darkath]

That makes me wonder, as all PDS game use basically the same engine (more or less), it shouldn't be that hard to port a feature from one game to another right ?

 

[Felicity]

I also agree on this!
It was fun in Civ4, it let me map out how far I wanted to expand, strategies, etc. It'd be very useful in both SP and MP, I like to visualize what I'm doing.

at first i thought, ''nahhh theres no point in having this in EU4'', but then perhaps it could be interesting to have a visual representation of your 'tactical plans' or long term conquest goals.

but will it really fit into the EU style of game, whereas with hearts of iron military tactics are really central to the game itself, whereas EU is broader (and i hope EU4 is going to be very broad).

This would be awesome.
