Enemy Movement

Unread postby alsuave » Wed May 13, 2020 1:41 pm

Is it possible to show movement range when selecting an enemy unit? It would also be great to see the zone of control indicators just like when I select my own units.

This is very complicated for reasons that are perhaps not immediately apparent. For example, during your own turn, only the enemy ZoCs exist. If you want to show enemy movement, you would have to show your own ZoCs, but they'll only get created at the start of enemy turn.

There are also other potential issues relating to FoW and stragglers. We could show something for enemy movement range, but that something wouldn't be reliable.

Cheers!

That makes sense.

How about just showing where they could potentially move to based on movement points and terrain?

I was very curious about this as well since it can be tricky knowing if you successfully blocked off an area to enemy movement or not.
