Little thing, but would be great for me...
On the mini-map, you can see influence of each race. Only problem is, it tells you where they are from the start before you have explored.
It would be great to have it that the influence areas are visible, but only for races that you've encountered or areas you've explored.
It just doens't really make sense to know where they are when they don't show up on any other charts and you can't talk to them yet, etc., etc.
I would love to see it revised a bit, I do want to see the influence on the map ('specially when mine take up about 1/2 or more), but it does show me right where to go from the start if I want contact or war.
Thanks for a great game!
