Show Work Area button to also show Vision / Sight AreaWhen clicking on the "show work area" button of a military building, it should show not only the capture area (in blue) but also the sight or vision area (maybe a hexagon outlined with a yellow line and without fill colour). Where it touches or overlaps the sight area of neighbouring military buildings, those sight area outlines should also be shown, but in a different colour, maybe white. This will help the player know which guard buildings etc they can dismantle without leaving sight holes inside their territory which cannot be built on, and where to build new military buildings in order to cover their buildable areas with vision. The attached image shows the effect of a vision hole inside the player's territory caused by demolishing military buildings. Areas are greyed out and cannot be built in. Having the sight radius of a military building displayed will help the player know which buildings are necessary to keep. Attachment: image/jpeg

I think this is a good idea, in my experience with Widelands, I have often thought of the The aussies are coming, ya ho! ya ho!
