How much do you calculate?

yeahhhh...
I do that a lot.
The replays are *stupidly* slow.
There should be an option to show last known positions of units in the fog of war and whether they moved (already clear visual indicators for that). That's not 100% of information you can get from the replay (all that's really left is barrier spawning), but it would make the game play soooo much faster and be so much more fun!

I often do watch replays, but it's just busy work.
They might as well send me turns in morse code and force me to decode it before playing. There's no reason not to have an option to just show last known positions. [I WOULD PAY FOR IT]

This is a good idea, there should be ghosts of last known positions in the FOW so we don't have to keep rewatching replays to see where a unit was

I also second the "next move" button for replays. It's annoying to have to watch the whole thing just to see the one thing you forgot.

As for calculating, I do it sometimes when I'm pushing an assault and I know my opp is strapped for wits. I end up playing a lot of Feedback players, so it's mostly to deduce if they'll have enough to make a Scrambler and turn my attack against me.

Otherwie I mostly go on rough estimates and my own intuition
