Hi,

I find that when playing highlander it is quite important to know which hog is killing other hogs (or your own) in order to know where to find the good weapons. But currently the active hog does not display it's name or team once it has moved, which is good for visibility but not for the above reason. Especially on big maps with lots of hogs it is a problem.

So my suggestion is to change the display so the name and team of the hog is always visible, except for the player who is controlling the active hog. That way he would still have optimal visibility and the others have full information.

On a similar note: currently the health bar only blinks in the beginning of the turn, but imho it would be better to keep it blinking for the duration of the turn so you know who is playing now. and who to blame for the death of your hogs Wink Smiley

also, it would be nice if the game would remember your last setting of the team/name appearance above the hogs. Right now it is reset to default every new game.

BTW, is it ok to post such suggestions directly on the google code issues list as enhancements, or should it pass through an admin?

I'm pretty sure something similar has been mentioned before in other topics.
Not sure it would be worth to post on Google code as it would likely be flagged low priority.

If u have the knowledge to craft a patch yourself that's a complete different story, you should submit it everywhere and talk with a few admins as well.
