Mini map and MP game list

[tmoj2000]

I seem to notice in in BA2 when you are in set up mode the minimap does not reflect the fact that you moved your units to another position.. For example in the 3 rivers scenario, once you are done placing your soviet troops, the mini map looks exactly the same as before the placement. This used to work fine in BA1

The MP game list seems to be completely random (that includes My Turn, Ennemy Turn and Completed)..... It would be appreciated if it could be in chronological order (that is the case in BA1)

As a tought for future versions... I assume it should not be hard to give players access to basic MP player stats; such as MP games played, MP games won, MP games lost, Average number of turns played over the past week (month ?)..... This would help players selecting opponents to find someone at the right level for them in terms of experience and speed of play

Thanks

The minimap bug is on my list! The stats issue is a gnarly one - some people love them, others have told us they will stop playing if they are implemented! So we would need some way to opt out, which all together adds up to a decent amount of work for our (already overloaded) server team. It's on our wishlist, and if we can fold it in to finishing off the online tournament stuff then that could be something that works for everyone.

Maybe it's as easy as giving to everyone the option to be included or not in the ladder.

That both requires more backend work (including a UI to allow people to manage it), but also issues such as do people only want to play other ranked people? Should you know if a game will be ranked before you accept it? These things tend to spiral out of control

When you open a match you choose scenario, side, password or not, then you could also choose Ranked or not.
The player that accepts that game will see if is ranked, and so free to do not choose it.
This is the easy part, the other is how to make the ladder info available, not necessary inside the BA, and how to evaluate victory/lost etc. this is more a more busy task, and the BA team is very busy already
