Suggestion - Unit Mgmt Window

Post by balto »

First. Does this game have potential or what!!! WOW!!

The Unit Mgmt Window is just awesome. LOVE IT. As a suggestion -- (1) For the LAND units, can you stick in a column for LOCATION, just like AIR and NAVAL. You could shrink several of the existing columns to fit that in (Name, Supply, etc.). (2) Could you allow it to SORT by any column when you click on the Heading of that Column?

Great Job.

Like to support both ideas, especially land units location noted in list. [:)]

regarding #1

I always open a Hex panel so I can see X|Y location, just above unit manager.
Then when I click on a unit with 'center view' option selected, it always presents me the location of current unit.

Those two suggestions are meant as a 'package deal.' Meaning TOGETHER they are great (SORTING and LOCATION).

By having the SORT function, it would be greatly enhanced if one of the SORT fields was Location.

And by "location" you meant X|Y or name of nearest city?
