Right now when hover over it doesn't show the tile's row and column number, and it would be really helpful since it's a bit confusing comparing to other games.

So please upvote, and interestingly enough it shows in replays when hover over. So it must've been an overlook in coding.

Works for me in ongoing games too. Or do you mean something different?

I have always found the X-coordinate on this site odd. I would just make the first hex in each row "1". I understand why it's "3" on the lower row - they're accounting for the fact that the hex is indented relative to the rows above it - but it's a hexagon zig-zag pattern anyway, so I'm not sure why this is done. (1,9) would be very clear: The first hex on the 9th row. When it says (4,9) on here, it's not always intuitive what the X-coordinate of the first hex is.

Oh nice they must've undated it after my report since it already working in the replay, must be a tiny fix.

You know what? Maybe i should just do a suggestion instead. Just do the coordination normally like you are saying.

I would upvote that suggestion

My guess is they did it this way to deal with the space cities, which don't really need coordinates, but the way the game is programmed, they probably do. But they can just be (0,1) and (0,2) and (0,3).

It's going to be weird no matter what, since it's the opposite of a typical Cartesian plane to have the Y-coordinates decrease as we move downward rather than upward, whereas the X-coordinates increase as we move rightward, as is typical in a Cartesian plane.
