[SUGGESTION-UNCUT][#052] UFO chasing, is it above the sea or above the land?

[Unknown Hero]

Display a specific icon when the UFO is located above the land, and located above the sea.



As usual, the images are for explanation only.

[Hythlodaeus]

You know, this is kind of a good idea.

[Solarius Scorch]

Yes, it is. Especially when dealing with multiple UFOs in various parts of the globe, so when it suddenly jumps to air combat somewhere, you have no idea where it is.

Simple and useful.

[Aldorn]

Good 

[Sturm]

Clicking that icon could minimize the window until it's on land.

[Yankes]

Or maybe small "window" that show zoom on ufo blip with ground texture like on ground.

[moriarty]

very cool... hey, maybe we could come up with simple but understandable icons for every type of terrain there is? not just water/land, but also mountain/desert/farm/jungle/arctic/...

[Falko]

my current implementation is 15x11 pixel dont know if thats enough space for all types to be clearly distinguishable
