This is the solution I came up with when there are allied players at a star defending. A smaller shape to the left.
If there are more than one ally, they will stack up.
This feature should be rolling out in new games on Monday morning. Unless I find any outstanding bugs.
Who is up for a game with formal alliances enabled to test this out?
aye
That looks fun !
How many of those can it show ?
What if there were 3 or 4 empires in a Formal Alliance ? 7 ? 8 ? 9 ? 11 ? or crazy 63 ?
How about a team game?
Maybe 3v3 using a mirrored map
Or even 4v4 if you really want to test things.
I dont have a limit yet. There will just be a very long line of symbols if you have 62 allies protecting you from the one other player who is not an ally.
Thanks Ross. I will start pimping the game.
