Team-colored Ally Research Hearts in GUI

Post by JDW »

In Multiplayer team games when an ally is researching a research topic we get to see a white heart and a mouse-over the heart shows the teammates name who is researching the same. Would it be a better GUI to have the heart have the same color as that of the teammate?

That would be very convenient, but it would have to be more than a 2D heart, or else it may not be too easy to see. Anyways, great idea.

It will also make it easier for newbies to understand the meaning of all those hearts.

Bump it until it's implemented! (:

Very nice job! :lol2:
Clap clap clap to you!

P.S. Maybe the tooltip below the heart can be extended to show the progress of the ally's research?

Another great idea! Very great idea! I wonder about that more than I do who is researching what. :^)

I'm agree with this feature to. Very good. I like it ! :)

As I am, it would be possible to have more color choices when choosing a flag (color match)? Before Start the multiplayer game.
