What I find frustrating is that the replay of invisible moves of my opponents (with FOW) are replayed in the background as well. So, I end up "watching" a lot of static screen. Tonight, my frustration with such replays was high after watching 20mins replay (this is already with animation speed set to maximum thanks to the latest patches-although I am not sure if it makes a difference with invisible moves in 2D view which are not animated anyway?), with not a single move being actually in LOS. So, 20mins to watch a static map followed by end of replay message..A bit disappointing...
I wondered (a purely speculative question to dev team), what is the scope of reducing replays to only visible bits? Is it possible, possible but difficult or completely impossible?
Hmm, I have no idea whether easy or not, the units have the spotted status as visible by the little binoculars icon in InfoBox. This would need to be an option as well, for with small(er) scenarios one often prefers to hear the sound enemy units make while still not visible. Tanks? Trucks? and so forth.
Which actually gives me a suggestion to make: have you tried this with Options -> Sound Effects ticked OFF? Each unit has its own movement sound that gets played, so if Sound Effects are OFF I wonder if replays are thus quicker given the sound files are omitted?
Wanna try and let me know?
