If one of your miners is being attacked, it says in the lower left corner, "miner under attack". If one of your building is being attacked, it says in the lower left corner, "base under attack". I think there should be a camera button you could tap that if your base/miner is under attack, you can tap that camera button and it will center your view over the scene. I hate itv when the message "miner under attack" or "base under attack" appears because by the time I find where my miner/base is being destroyed, it already is destroyed. By adding a camera button, it would center the view right over the scene and you could get reinforcements there quicker.

If your mini screen is focus on the bottom of the map cause he's being shot at by a rocket luncher then you wouldn't be able to see the enemy coming from the top cause it's focusing on the tank being attacked.

The mini screen is their so you can see the whole map and be able to rush your tanks to a spot as quick as possible.

What you have is a good idea but I would do it different other then focusing on one tank or one building.

Since 99% of enhancements aren't made.
Taking your idea and just making it simpler
:arrow: have the mini map show the tanks and buildings being attack in a green or a color that isn't cyan, blue, red, yellow.
I think it would be better if the map creators could make it happen on some maps instead of all the maps just to spice every map up alittle different.

Its not like you would have to center your screen over the miner/building under attack. Its just if there is one under you would have the choice to center it over the miner/building be pressing or not pressing a button.

So if your looking at your army in the center of the map.

One of your scouts gets attack south of your base
One of your miners gets attack north of your base
One of your buildings gets attack at your base.

Let's not also forget if more then one build/tanks is getting attack at one time.

So does it mean the mini map just keeps changing every time something gets attack or do you just have to click on the button to figure out which tank is getting attack?

Which would the mini map try to help first the tank, miner, building?
Or would it just be first come first serve.

It would help the one with the lowest helth. Also I though it would only be done for buildings and miners.

I know. And thats very true on large maps. Thats why I wish there was a button you would have to option to tap. If pressed, your screen would be centered over the crime. If not pressed, your screen will stay where is it and you can resume what you were doing.
