Scout from map

[Ocean Yong Kiran]

every day, a new idea! 

Title:
Scout from map

Summary:
Have ability to click on region on map and scout

Details :
Maybe a new icon, or maybe only a button on the region page. It must check if you are okay to scout that region

Benefits:
To me it is more instictive to look at map and say "What is there?". The other page is good but I don't see everything happening in world when I'm thinking

Possible Downsides/Exploits:
I don't know

Just to be clear, do you intend for this to allow you to scout regions beyond what is immediately adjacent to your current location?

[Ocean Yong Kiran]

No, only as is now. Just a simpler way to do it

I notice every day I must open many tabs at the same time when planning. I think more things from the map is maybe easier

So you want to interact with the map more? Like clicking regions on the map to scout instead of clicking text names of those regions?

[Ocean Yong Kiran]

For this idea, yes.

I have other ideas - maybe when hover over name, also says hours to travel, maybe tells infrastructure or useful infos

But I know some is hard and all this needs time, so one idea at a time

Once regions have been scouted and you have the report, you can look at the political map and refer to the scout reports from there.
Still opens more tabs, but you can start with the overall picture with the political map and refer to the reports you need from there.

I do not often use the dynamic maps much, but from what I understand, they present more like what you are asking for.

[Ocean Yong Kiran]

Thank you, but I think this is the opposite end of what I am trying to describe.

I want to scout and see region informations *from* the map starting place

[Zakky]

BM map isn't very interactive. I am not even sure devs will put what little time they have on something like this since they already have a huge list of things they want to work on.

I don't have an issue with clicking to scout neighbouring regions via the dynamic map(s).

If it is doable, that would be really cool. So I guess we will have a button under detail if you do decide to implement? Would you be able to add move to the region button as well?

[Wimpie]

I never use the dynamic map really. Don't like it very much.

Scouting from a map does sound cool. I'd prefer to have it from political map, then. But well.

[De-Legro]

Really with the systems available to us now we should be looking to consolidate the maps into one anyway

[Anaris]

The problem with that is you've got different people who have very different strong opinions in what they want from their maps.

What aspect of the political map could not be provided on the dynamic map via layers?

[Medron Pryde]

system resources.

The political map loads quicker and burns less resources to look at.

The other map I think is probably java based and sucks resources on borderline or non-optimized systems like a squirrel on caffeine...
