    Looking at Europe 1560's continent structure and it has some sizeable continents with some +8 bonuses and the like.  Then I clicked on Lithuania and Italy, which are even bigger, and it says the bonus is +1.  My suspicion is that it is supposed to be telling me +10 or +12.

    Why does Ireland also show 1 (instead of +1) with a different background color.

    The highlighting of the continents also doesn't work too well with that map, you have to search for what continent it just highlighted when you select one.

    The Continents tab of this board http://www.wargear.net/games/player/3947 is pretty jacked up too.

    The info tab also seems to have problems displaying large numbers of continents. For example, in this game, http://www.wargear.net/games/player/3841, I have over 20 continents, but the info tab only displays 7.

    You can't see the Territories of Continents when in a Fogged game unless you border/own the territories!?! That's a pretty big one IMO.

    Can you explain this one a bit more Yertle? Not 100% sure what you mean...

    Looking just at this game, in the Flash Player navigate to Board>>Continents and select any continent, you won't be able to what territories are in it because of the Fog.  I can only see the territories of that continent that I own.

    Cool, by the way, the yellow circles to show the continents are bad if someone is yellow.

    My suspicion is confirmed: in the game http://www.wargear.net/games/player/3785 , I now occupy France. If I rollover info box continent bonus listing, it tells me France is +12.

    Yet Board>>Continents says that the bonus is +1. Likely the boundary of the box cuts off the remaining information. I suppose this isn't a problem if there is another way to find out France is +12 (instead of +1), but I don't know of another way (without occupying the continent).

    Gotcha thanks Hugh. The whole board explorer setup needs to be revamped and will be once I finish the history log review changes (should be out tonight all being well).

    If you click on that box it takes you to the next number.  You can then hit the arrow keys to go back and forth :P

    Couldn't agree more. Glad you also view this as a priority. Let us know if/when looking for suggestions on how the final result should look.

    Happy to take suggestions now. The general feedback has been that the Territories / Borders / Continents tabs should all somehow be rolled into a single view.

    Problem is how to display all this information nicely. It needs to display:

    Territory names
    Territory maxes
    Borders (One or Two way)
    Border type (Regular / Attack Only / Fortify Only / View Only)
    Border direction if one-Way
    Border modifiers
    Continent membership(s)

    Needs to show Capitals too.

    Clicking on a Territory could show some of the basic information in the text line.  Currently there is the "Showing attack borders..."  Could continue to have that information (or just have the Territory Name), then beyond that have Maxes: 10, Capital: Yes, Borders: ZZ, YY (clickable), Part of Continent: A, B, X with A, B, X (clickable); (Maxes/Capital could not display if not present).  

    The continent then displays highlighted (or filled somehow) and has a similar text line Continent Name: X, Value: +50, Territories in Continent: ZZ, YY, SS with ZZ, YY, SS clickable to go back to territory information.

    Not sure if that is the best solution, as text can be kind of yucky. And a long list of continents or borders for a territory could have display issues.  Still need a way to get directly to the continents too.

    Borders can be like today with the Attack To/From buttons (and modifier colors).  And maybe hovering over the border line displays the information window that is present in the Borders tab today.

    I probably really don't like all of that, but start of a discussion and I'm sure someone can come up with something better.

    Don't forget a territory could be part of any number of different continents!

    I believe Tom fixed this problem, though he may not have put it in his fix-log on the site announcements yet. Thanks Tom!
