I think it should. What harm would it do? I would like to see how close I was and how the map looked, where people had hidden armies etc...

Well, the log been revealed would be more useful/worthwhile.

No, it's up to you to figure out where your target is, even if that means trading off info/kills with other players. You shouldn't find out if you didn't do the work to find out.

I don't think he means during the game, but after to measure your success and learn from the game and say "Damnit, i could have won seven rounds ago, but I failed and he traded in cards next time through."

There is absolutely no harm for a post-game revel, imho.

Playing a basic fog 'o war game to try it out, and I'm digging it. I'd say yes - end of assassin map reveal would be a plus. Even if there are no learning points to take away, it will quench the insane curiosity.

Make it for all gametypes!

:wink:

It's by far the most useful in Assassin, but it'd be nice in other types too, like team games. It's mostly for the benefit of posterity though - after a game ends, the only person who can see your victory are the players in it! I love going back to look at games.

But yeah, I'm glad to see your ahead of the curve on this lack. Thanks :wink:
