[Freeciv-Dev] Suggestion for fog of war

["Michael T. Babcock" <mbabcock@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One thing that would be very useful is to have a way to show the area of 
control of a given city / unit without the interference of others.  If I 
have a city with a settler nearby building irrigation and another 
settler a few squares away ready to build another city, I need to turn 
on the grid and count squares or open the city and look at its map, then 
close that window again and still count off a couple squares to decide 
where to place that second city.  By contrast, if it were possible to, 
for example, middle-click a city, and see a highlight (yellow instead of 
just the fog-of-war brightness change?) of which squares it 'sees', 
choosing a new site becomes easy.  The other option that would be nice 
is to view all the cities' land usage together without being affected by 
other units, so as to see which land squares are not being developed.
PS, I'm not on this mailing list, so if you have any questions, E-mail me.
