Well, to be honest I never really played DoaNE.
So I cannot really say a lot about its features and gameplay.
But there was one feature I remember to have liked: "Seaways"
(Maybe we already have a ticket for it but I am currently not sure.)
If I remember correctly it did allow you to "mark" locations on the map on Europe Plots only (Ocean Plots that allow sailing to Europe) that where then selectable by your Ships
in "Go-To-City-Popup" and in Europe Screen as "Travel Destinations".
This seemed to be a very useful improvement for automated travel of Ships.
(Not for full Trade Automation or anything like that of course.)
Theoretically it would be possible to mark Land Plots as "simple Go-To" destinations as well, but I never had a need / usecase for that since "Go-To-Plot" (Shift + G) or just by Mouse works nicely enough.
For large distances I almost always use Ships anyways and Land Units cannot cross Ocean by themselves.
Since DoaNE has also shared its source code, we might adapt that feature.
Since I have not checked their source code yet, I cannot say if it is implemented well or how much effort it would be to adapt.
Of course we might also simply code our own version.
We might also need one new button for "Mark Location as Seaway". But that should not be a problem.
And yes, we also nees some visualization (e.g. a Text Marker) for the Map Screen - which I think is alreay possible - need to figure out again how it was done though.
By the way:
Let us please not use this thread to start discussions on other DoaNE features.
We should discuss feature by feature in a separate thread.
