Am I the last person to figure this out?
I was screwing around with my game and I discovered that if you right-click an area in the map window from the top-right of the screen it opens up a new window which tracks enemy moves, friendly moves, or all moves. What's the use of this? Am I the last one to figure it out? I really have not noticed this in the good two years I've had the game...

yes

it's best used in MP. I right click on all hot spots. this way I can sit down and watch TV yet still see everything thats going on during others turns. it helps to have a large monitor so you can have more of these windows up and still be able to see them.

It's used for tracking enemy moves and planning counter-offensives. You JUST NOW figured this out. I'm just a warlord and i've known about this for years.
An emp that didn't know this. What a shame.

Lucky guys. Mac players don't have this option, or I haven't worked out how to achieve it yet anyway.

Despite what it obviously looks like, no, WarVoid is, in fact, not my DL and I did NOT creat him during my vacation. heh heh...

OK...so apparently the answer to the original question is...yes, I am the last person from Apolyton to figure it out...

LOL. I asked this a while ago. I kind of knew what it was, but never used it. It really didn't have a practical purpose for me. Maybe if I played multiplayer games.
