Would it be possible to add a slot or multiple slots to invite observers? They would be able to see the entire map without fog of war. Replay of last turn would be nice as well. I have some friends that play the game and I think it would be cool to be able to observe their games.

Thanks!

I strongly agree, and if this feature were added, i think that the observers should only have an option to chat with pther observers, or not at all. some people could try to shout out things meant to be hidden. I have been thinking about this for awhile, GameShaman, good call.

Personally, I would like to be able to chat with the people whose game I'm observing, but I can see your concern. Perhaps an option for "Observer Chat: On/Off", allowing the game creator to choose.

What about adding a replay of matches online? The issue with showing games while they are ongoing is that it would be an open invitation to cheaters to lift the FoW.

I like that idea as well, in addition to Observer mode, =).

An observer would need to be invited when setting up a game, so one would be aware of them before joining it.

If you're really concerned, perhaps only make it available for non rated games.

To add the online replay ability would require a beefing up of the website, including a search and person's game history.

It would also allow someone to learn exactly how someone plays before ever playing them. There would need to be a way to limit who can view your game replays.

The online thing really opens up a big can of worms :p.

I think it would be a great idea, maybe only for nonranked matches though

that way a friend could teach a noob how to play better without loseing any points to cheating or something like that!

I've always wanted to see the top three players duke it out and see what thier tactics are....

you know to learn from the best
