Yeah, I don't think it really requires that much work. Out of the two places that I suggested the information be (the foundry AND the clickable map image from various screens on this site), I actually would prefer it be in the clickable map images, if it's only going to be in one place.
The advantage to this is that it really shouldn't require any additional work on the mapmaker's part. It could be coded from the XML. I can't imagine that this would be a very hard thing to do, given that the site retrieves this information in every game played.

Even better!! Save many more manhours of work that way.

I definitely support this suggestion. That information will be helpful for anyone new to a map who wants to learn it.

Thanks for the support guys. Just FYI for anyone concerned, I will not be using my new mod powers on any of my own suggestions. Anything I say in my own suggestions like this will be as a common user and proponent of my own suggestion.

I will use my powers to head over and talk to some of the tech guys to see how possible this is and maybe have one of them come back and talk about it. All I was saying was that I won't be stickying this or moving it to submitted. I'll let another mod do that.

I'm against
It's unnecessary. On my first All Your Base are Belong to Us game, it was fog so I didn't know what the tech neutrals were so I just did a game search for active games on that map with no fog, found one at round 1, then got my information.
Unnecessary addition. Higher priority is to ban anyone who misses any turn for any reason, and also to infect their computer with a virus.

That would be nice if you were not the first, and also if you can find a game where someone deadbeats, cause otherwise you will never see the starting condition of the neutrals..

Just look up a trench game, best believe neutrals aren't going to be touched... in all your base really though anyone who touches any neutral on round 1 is a moron.

The point isn't "I'm too lazy; Please help me."
The map selection image is there to inform you what the map is: in regards to graphics and in regards to gameplay. 'Starting neutrals' are part of, or at least influence, the gameplay.

I don't understand. You have a 98% attendance.
As for this suggestion, I would like it very much if this were implemented. As many times as I've played pelo war, I still can't remember the neutral count on every territory.

Hearing no objections, this is getting STICKIED. I doubt anyone will have a problem with this, so I predict it will get moved to Submitted in short order.
