I had a shadow at one point and it was distracting. I can't do an outline.

I agree, I think a shadow for the text probably wouldn't work well.

I tried a lot of things and how it is now is the easiest to read. Color adjusting so text is readable isn't an easy task if you aren't educated in computer graphics. It was hard for me to do it and I had to ask for help.

Too bad, a light colored outline for the symbols (like the XXX for example) and the strength numbers would really have helped a lot. If you say that it is hard to do, I believe you, even though it sounds so straightforward...

Good morning,

I wish to change the generic name of the units in the editor. For example, change Armored Corps to Armored Division. Is there anyone who can help me?

Regards

Resolved!

3rd tab from fair upper left calls "Unit Basics" It shows all the names. The white fields with black text are editable.

Can different units be created, e.g. put an air group instead of a naval group or an armored unit instead of a small infantry corps, etc.?
