On the large maps,its very hard to see your entire region .

Id like the borders to be able to be called up on the mini-map.

I think a dev mentioned before that they had intended something similar, but anyway I agree.

That would be very useful.

Does it means it is possible ? ^^

Well, borders are I think enough. A mini map showing units would be useless^^

Well, I once thought it would be handy if there was a tiny glowing dot representing whichever unit or facility you had highlighted. Example, if I'm trying to decide wether to upgrade that low supply uranium mine (and have it highlighted in my U mine list)...and a glance at the minimap tells me it is just south of the north pole...I can skip it without clicking the little target button. Same function if I have a unit highlighted in my reserves list...

Not really necessary, just bells and whistles. ;)

Units are completely out of the question. Highlighting facilities or bases may be possible but it may not add too much.

Borders on the minimap are possible for a future version of the game engine... but we'll have to see how much it adds.

What about position / size / shape of minimap?

Ya know, if we could zoom out the primary map to see the whole map at once ( without cheats), it would be fine also.

I would like to see (espacially the sound issue isn't working .. :-? ) WHERE the SKIRMISHES are.... perhaps small red (or region related colors) blinking dots perhaps...

This could be possilbe 'down the road'... when you are zoomed all the way out, what would you like to see?

In the current minimap, many things are out of the question because it's just too small but take the whole map and put it at full screen and you could introduce many items... filters to show bases, filters to show who is at war, units firing (so you could watch several fronts at once) etc.

With this full screen idea, how will it benefit the player? i.e. navigation? better information? how does it add to gameplay?
