Is it possible to remove a dot placed with the Dot Mapper?
Is it possible to remove a dot placed with the Dot Mapper?
This is awesome work you guys are doing. When is 3.6 coming to a store near me?
Another thing I'd like to see this do is be able to view/place dotmaps in world view.
I'd like to discuss a couple new features I had in mind for the existing Strategy Layer.
Existing City Boundaries Layer
I'd like a shortcut that would hide/show the outlines of all existing cities, probably using a single color (user's choice, or the Settler founding border color). It would look just like you had a Settler selected and be unrelated to the Strategy Layer. I mention it here because it would be created using this layer. However, maybe people would use it in conjunction with placing new dots?
Question: Should it show the 21-tile or 9-tile BFC for cities that haven't had their first border pop? How should it treat rival-owned plots due to culture? My inclination is to show full BFCs ignoring culture entirely.
If the strategy layer had a mode where it could ignore the true cultural borders and just show the 21-tile BFC's of existing and planned cities, then that mode would be ideal for planning cities.
anyway to have a key-combo to show/hide placed signs?
I sometimes have trouble with planning cities because some older cities have had 3 border pops moving the cultural borders over the 21-tile BFC. This makes it hard to see which tiles are being used/claimed by already settled cities plus the planned cities because some tiles are also colour coded as they're inside the third border pop of an existing city.
If this is different from what I explained, could you please be specific about the differences? What do you mean by "ignore the true cultural borders"? I don't think I can hide the existing cultural borders, if that's what you're asking to have.
Just use a different coloured layer for cities that have had a couple of culture pops. The actual BFC will show up quite clearly in contrast to the culture colour.
I tried hiding the cultural borders but cannot.
Sometimes it isn't possible to find a colour in the strategy layer that provides a clear contrast with the civilisation colour.
<init>
<arg name="colors" type="tuple">
"COLOR_PLAYER_RED",
"COLOR_PLAYER_PALE_RED",
...
"COLOR_WHITE"
</arg>
<arg name="colorsPerRow" type="int" value="3">
</init>
I will still use signs to signify a city's purpose because I delete the dotmap when the city has been placed and its border has expanded to the big fat cross.
In the currently shown palette, colours 1,3 (row number, column number) and 3,1 seem very similar.
I'm not sure how it would look when cities with these colours are placed next to one another.
