Bear in mind the live 2D view in EHM took Riz most of a year to code, when he was working fulltime on it and had all of SI's resources behind him. That's a very expensive thing to do in terms of how to spend coding time, and we're not likely to go in that direction soon when there are still a lot of other ways we could improve the game experience.

We can look at adding a making the display a little more graphically interesting, but showing individual locations of players at all times isn't really possible with this game engine - it just doesn't track them that precisely, relying more on where they're supposed to be, how likely they are to actually be there, and whether or not that puts them in a position to be relevant to the current play.
