The main reason for the current way, is so everyone knows that XYZ found some oil... and they are NOT cheating to get extra oil.
Which also means, if they found some, then you can find some oil drums also.
You have found some oil!
You have found some oil!
Do people want to know when another player finds oil drums out in the field or not?

and it ends here.
Re: You have found some oil!
My opinion is that it should be just like when an enemy builds a structure, produces a new unit, and so on. Since we aren't notified of those events, I don't believe we need to be notified of oil events.
However, on the power topic, I miss the "power resource" audio in 2.3b4 when our own truck drives by an untapped power resource. I know this is because all the oil is already revealed on the map. But the audio was useful when you drove a truck right past an untapped power resource to remind you to build a derrick.
It also seems that the AI never picks up oil drums, is that correct?

Yes. It is this way by design (although poor design, IMHO).kenalcock wrote:It also seems that the AI never picks up oil drums, is that correct?
Re: You have found some oil!
In a game with such a complex visibility model, it makes no sense to announce something like oil collection. It defeats the whole purpose of the visibility model: that you need to scout around to learn what your opponent's doing. Why should oil collection be such a specific and arbitrary exception?
Unless someone has reasons otherwise, I see no reason why this should even be in question.

Re: You have found some oil!
voting for yes mean you're a honest player
Voting for no creates the chance of you being a cheater...
obvious poll, yet a stunning paradoxal outcome :/

How is getting rid of an important and useful game feature "obvious"?

Re: You have found some oil!
I say no, there is alot more stragetic value in the enemy not know your income.

they should fix the respawn time then.Frox wrote:I say no, there is alot more stragetic value in the enemy not know your income.
there is no good reason why the game keeps respawning the drums every time you find some.
