Details:
note: i think i have posted this one on april 27th, but im not sure why it
doesnt appear in the list, maybe i forgot to "send" it, so im writing it anew
(gah).
sometimes when you join advanced games as observer you'd like to see how hard
and where the battles were fought. in this case, a short glimpse at the map
suffices to know what has happened.
i suggest a simple system where you let killed units leave something small
behind, like a stain of blood, or slime, or clothes, or hair, or bones...it
should be so small that you can easily see the terrain underneath it, so for
instance, making it 50% transparent might be one good approach to not
interfere too much with the other colors on the map (the hex itself and
surroundings).
of course this would be an additional feature we know already from other
games, where you can turn "blood" on or off. it would just add some so-to-say
realism to the fighting character of wesnoth. when more than 1 unit dies on
the same hex there are two possibilities: the first one would be: leave it
like that, and the second would be: the stain will be a big bigger than the
one before.
problems i can think of might be:
"cluttering up the map", and
higher usage in cpu resources.
im not an IT expert, so i dont know how much of an issue this might be in the
end. i heard that you can overlay the blood graphics, but im not sure how
exactely those technical details work (if it works). however, i dont think
cluttering up the map might be too much of a problem, since the graphics i
have in mind would be really small compared to the size of the hex.
