Neutrals don't show up on F10 Map, Neutral Coalition slots are not in MP

[robgraham]

Two issues here with Neutral Coalition items that have been added to the game.

 

The First is:

 

Neutral Units do not show up on the F10 map despite being well and truly detected.

 

On Discord some one said this is a design feature, if it is.. then it's a poor choice, because it makes for multiple issues both game play and mission editing related.

 

1. ME wise it means that it's impossible to check if units are doing what you have set them to do at a glance on the map, even when that map is set to fog of war or show all.

 

2. It causes in game issues for GCI etc, if you can't see the neutral units once they are detected if you have Fog of War/Show all selected. gameplay wise it don't make sense.. the map is meant to be a map showing me detected units, regardless of their coalition/side etc.. Red, Blue, White they should all be showing up on it. However currently as the images show they do not.

 

The second is that Neutral Coalition slots are NOT in Multiplayer, the Multiplayer list shows 'Blue/Red' that's it still, there are senarios and circumstances were you might want/need all 3 slot options in Multiplayer, one might be if you have a limited war going on where the Neutrals are players tasked with simply patrolling their borders from Red/Blue's whom might violate airspace etc.

 

However currently those slots while in single player are not in MP at all.
