Interface controls not as stated in the manual

Post by Christolos »

The right hand buttons don't appear as it is stated in the manual and the buttons alongside to the left of the Previous and Next unit buttons in the information panel at the bottom of the screen, also do not appear as is shown/stated in the manual. I disabled the Right-Click Unit Action Menu in the settings but still have the right-click unit action choices when I right click on units. Is the feature to disable this not working? I would like to have the right-click options appear in the information panel but can't seem to get it to work...

I've asked the same question a while ago. The green buttons on the left will be patched in soon after launch. For now the richtclick menu is the only option.

Hello CC1
Yes, I'm sorry - the options you are looking for will be provided in a later patch.
Its something we very much wanted to add (and will do so) and wanted the manual to reflect that

Once again I'm sorry for the confusion

What about CC1's first question, about the vertical buttons not matching the manual?

Thank you, Benedict. Just to clarify, the game shows a checkbox icon as the second icon in this vertical UI. And the manual shows a question mark instead of the checkbox.

What is the difference, please?

The question mark will open the second row of menu buttons (currently missing, will follow later with a patch). The checkbox shows the victory conditions.

Hi, i have the same problem - altought its 2017 and i have version 1.2. What gives ? Any ideas ? :(

Was there some kind of hotfix to install ?

additionally, i read somewhere here on the forum that you can swap unit places using shift - it doesn't work for me either. Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Switching works like this: both units need to be able to move. A unit without any movement points left can't be switched.
Units have be next to each other. Activate the first unit, hold down the SHIFT key and click now on the adjacent unit. That should to the trick.

Thank you Xwormwood

fdski5 - don't worry, you have not missed a hotfix, its just that updating the UI has taken longer than expected

This is our number 1 priority and there should be a new update in the next few weeks that brings the ingame UI in synch
with the manual.

Apologies for the delay
