Player Location Ping
« on: February 03, 2016, 06:39:42 pm »

I searched for this type of suggestion but couldn't find anything. Hopefully I'm not needlessly suggesting something already suggested.

In any case, I prefer the vanilla tileset but occasionally when playing adventure mode I lose track of my position on the screen. This is especially true when I have multiple followers and visit symbol-dense locations. My suggestion is to make a hotkey that visually "pings" the player and shows their position. I think the perfect way to show the ping would be to use the same arrow animation that shows the direction of motion of a unit but make it radiate out in all directions instead of just one. Not only would this help me quickly confirm my location but it would also be useful when showing and explaining the game to people unfamiliar with it.
