I would like to see, when I click on a wrathwing, his radius, if he's attacking or escaping.

How about a similar idea for snakes?
Clicking on it shows you H/V and/or the snake's next move?

I don't think that would go through, or the snake idea - makes the game a bit too easy.

I dunno. Wraithwings are too unpredictable.

Actually, I just realized this, but I think that perhaps Wraithwings are so unpredictable because of order of movement. What if one Wraithwing, according to the formation, wanted to move SE. But another Wraithwing moves before him, and the new formation asks the other Wraithwing to move NW.
In other words, I think Wraithwings are unpredictable because their movement depends on their formation, and their formation changes mid-turn.

I do think we should be able to see Snake info. I mean, we can find Spiders by right-clicking . . .
The game lets you find all the ortho squares, it tells you what tunnels lead where, bomb radius, and plenty of things we could easily calculate ourselves. And orbs are even bigger with the importance of their info.
DROD seems to be a game where info should be available to us. With the exception of NPCs, that is.

Well, you couldn't display the snake's next move. It depends on the move you first choose to make.

The same is true for wraithwings, in the sense that they may switch from attack to defense or vice versa based on Beethro's move. So displaying their current mode will be more confusing than useful, I believe.

I think displaying the wraithwing's range, though, would be a good idea. We're already displaying the range of most other ranged things, after all.

While I would agree to showing the range of anything, I doubt that this can be called a "range". Sure, wraithwings have a 5 somewhere in their logic, but... that is not what I call a "range". For the main reason that knowledge of this range helps with nothing when there are morew wraithwings.

Good point. Ignore me.
