they said that only few use it..
but if we now show that these few miss it a lot because they found it very very handy..?
and that the others only didnt use it because they didnt notice how cool it is?^^
i would say, at the beginning it doesnt make sense to use it, because then you only get lots of lines everywhere which confuse you more than to help you..
but as the worlds get older, when your account and your tribe got save areas where only you are, and so on....
then its nice to see if at your front there is only 1 big enemy player or if 20 different members of the enemy got villages there..without moving youre mouse over every single village there, or marking the players there on the map first
or if 1 village of you needs defense very fast, and you look at the map whos there to help you, then you neednt hover all the neighbouring villages, but see it with the first look, ah 2 players there next to you who could help in time...
and..the political map still works for the minimap...
but i would say that there it doesnt help, because its too small there to recognize the single players and so on...there it actually doesnt help at all in my opinion
but im wondering, on the minimap it is already calculated where to put which lines, so why cant this just be copied to the normal map anymore? is this copying soo much to do that the performance gets soo bad..? :S
