Enhancement requests in Deployment window

Post by ncc1701e »

Could you please consider adding a better display of the units inside this Deployment window?

1. Left or right clicking on one given unit, I would like to have a display of the unit like if it were on the map.

2. At least, would it be possible to add a column called Advancement, between the Unit column and the Force column, to understand what was built?

For example, things like:
Closed Support 1942
Breakthrough 1943
Assault 1940
Detection & Electronics 1942
...


First, when I am loading a scenario, I have no idea of this information.
Second, I do not record every advancement I select for the units I build.

Thanks

I'll see what I can do. But that is a large modification of UI and graphics also.

I understand perfectly. That is why for me the point number 2 seems enough to me. What i miss most is indeed the information of the advancement level of the unit been built.

I do not know what others think. But for me, just add an advancement column to this window and it will do the trick. [:)]

Thanks a lot

Alvaro, do you think this is feasible i.e. adding just this column?

Thanks a lot

I agree that it would be nice to have some more info on that screen.

At the moment I have no room for it. If I expand the column then you won't know where to place it.
