We've ALL been through that.  Part of the learning process.

But I agree with finding out if an enemy held island is an atoll or not, before the invasion. A simple mouseover line addition in the popup window would help. However, I disagree on finding exact numbers of enemy troops on enemy held islands - that just gives too much info to the player, and totally defeats the purpose of FoW (unless the player elected to turn it off).

I just meant the limit, not the actual number on the island [8D]. Once you've taken an island you can see the stacking limit in the base screen, but when it's in enemy hands you're reduced to trying to find the table in the manual with stacking limits.

Found this in the beta patch notes:

Srendi -

There is a stacking limit mod that is available from the Babes Website. A map mouse over will give the SL for any Base, friendly or enemy. A friendly owned base menu will also list the SL and current number of troops on site.

My right mouse function is not working correctly at the moment, otherwise I would post a link. You can find a link at the bottom of JWE's posts.

Real Men use Stacking Limits... <grin>
