Reserve Air Units Plane Count Colour?

Post by Pip31 »

In the Reserve Theatre Box, I've noticed that the number of planes on some air unit counters are shown in white, and others are shown in black

I haven't been able to find any pattern to this, and no information in the manual. (and it looks like all unit information in the ground unit tab is shown in white)

Does anyone know what this is meant to signify, if anything? Or is it just a visual bug?

I would need to see a save for this in order to hazard a guess. You can send one to 2by3@2by3games.com, or zip it and attach it to a post in the tech support area, or let me know the player names if this is an MP server game.

Thank you, I've just done so

I did look at the save and I don’t see any obvious reason for the white text, and I see it happens in my AI test games as well. I’ll ask the programmer next time I speak with him to see if he can explain it. I assume it’s a graphics glitch and unintended.

Thanks for checking, probably like you said, just a glitch.

With the help of AI, Pavel confirmed the white vs black color is a display bug only (it should all be the same color). If I understood the AI notes correctly, the Soviet text color should ideally all be white.

Thanks for checking. Good to know it was just a minor bug!
