Advanced Flare System for Minimap
@HeavenlyChorus was proposing an addition to the Taunt/Flare System in SE discord that I like, hence I'm opening this issue, but feel free to add.
Clients could be given a feature to draw on the minimap and sent this drawing to their teammates where the drawing gets rendered on their minimap - as an advanced flare.
The drawings/symbols could be either painted live (custom) or be taken from a list (accessed via keyboard shortcuts). Premade symbols could be something like:
- Arrows for directions
- double lines for walls
- small bang to communicate dangers
- question mark for communicating e.g. a lack of scouting in this direction
The drawing should be automatically dismissed after three seconds.
In addition to that there could be a few custom taunts that help to describe/interpret the drawing (e.g.): 110 - "I wall to here" 111 - "I go raid you defend at home" 112 - "quickwall this!"
I think having an additional "bigger map" feature could help with that. Maybe the minimap could be displayed on the entire screen with the press of a button. This would make the things @HeavenlyChorus mentiones easier to draw.

Indeed, we also already have that in interface.md.
