as an addon to the UI, maybe display a graph that ticks along to see the increasing/decreasing of a party..

phreeza commented 14 years ago

Good idea, I would suggest a log scale for this.

bartrail commented 14 years ago

whats a log scale? :)

phreeza commented 14 years ago

A logarithmic scale, so plotting log(N) instead of N. Good for graphing things that span several orders of magnitude, as we have here. In practice this would mean the height difference between 1 and 10 cells is the same as between 10 and 100, for example.

bartrail commented 14 years ago

ah haven't thought about 'logarithmic' ;) maybe we add an extra "toolbar" area to the top/side where a graph or some more informations can be displayed

phreeza commented 14 years ago

yes, that would be nice. team name, unit count/graph, current/remaining tics come to mind as content for this. Are you on it?

bartrail commented 14 years ago

sounds great. :) I think vertical at the left with a with about 100px makes more sense than at the top.. I can see what I can do :) calling for help if necessary

Perhaps this should be a pop-up the user can open with a keyboard shortcut?
