Real-time clock in overlay map mode

Hello EHG team,

I wanted to ask about a small UI/QoL feature.

Right now, the real-time clock is available when using the minimap mode, but not when using the overlay map, unless I am missing something. It would be really nice to have the clock visible in overlay map mode as well.

Has this already been considered or planned? If so, that would be great to know. If not, is there a particular reason why the clock is not available there or why it might not be added?

It feels like a small change, but it would be quite helpful during gameplay, especially during longer play sessions.

I also searched the forum before posting and found two older threads about the same request(On-screen clock with overlay map and Clock display), but both of them are already closed, so I could not reply there and decided to create a new topic.

Thank you for your time.

You would think this would be an easy feature and small win but there probably other priorities from the backlog of stuff.

While that is certainly true, it’s also true that this is one of those things that is as low effort to do as it gets. They already have the code there (they show it in minimap mode, after all). They just need to change the UI for overlay map mode to also use that same component.

It’s not a 5 minute fix, but it’s not a week long one either.
