See where others are while playing.

Post by Wack-o »

So, I like to play this game with my friends. I enjoy joining their companies. One thing I don't like is how hard it is to know where they are. I think there should be an option/feature to see where other people's mouse cursors are, and what their name is. Maybe their name could be displayed in a box, that has the color of their company. Maybe like this:

I hope you can get this added! Thanks!

it's really unlikely that this is ever added, because it requires A LOT more transmitted data between clients and servers.

CityMania patchpack (https://citymania.org/downloads) has a feature like that, you can open a window to watch where company is building. It doesn't show mouse cursors or even separate actions of individual players in one company as that information is not available but it can still give you some idea of what they're doing.
