[fixed] 3.50 beta 2: Explored fog of war defect

[teersen]

I find a way to know a respawn of your enemy when the fog of war is explored: you just need to click at the mines or trees and find where they are not full (see screenshot). I think it is reasonable to prohibit players click on the resources in the fog of war or do something else to fix it.

While that might be true, we'll see about that later. For now though, you already know where they are located because of the map preview anyways...

If you've already found their base, why would the resource be 'giving it away'?

I think the way to handle this is to allow the player to select any resources anywhere, but show the resource count based on the last time it was seen by a unit. (I'm not 100% sure this isn't already the behavior...)

You might not have found their base.  You might have found some resource and later, from noticing the diminishing resource count, infer that the enemy has moved there.

Moreover, you can see how terrain changes when enemy builds something.

It works on the all maps and not all maps are so simple as this one. Some of them have a lot of respawns in a different parts of the map.

My point is you always have a map preview and it tells you where they are anyways. By the time you play a few games of MG, you know where they are or even where they expand.

Simplest solution proposal: Resources not inside your sights (unless fog of war is off) cannot be viewed (clickable, perhaps, but would just say the resource name, without the amount).
