Leader/Initiative: Easy way to see?

Post by Frido1207 »

Still learning, so maybe a dumb question.

To see which Leader has initiative, I normally watch the political screen (F11).
Then I noticed that there were some more leaders with initiative, in a region without any AC or TC.

So is there a way to see which leaders have initiative at a glance?

No, other than mousing over various regions and looking for red arrows to appear on the leaders in the unit boxes on the lower part of the screen.

However, Erik has already requested an indication of initiative on the main map, so we have on our patch list to find a way to put a red arrow near the unit symbol in areas where a leader has initiative. Would that help?

Yes, very much. One thing I wished for in my first games was some sort of "show initiative" overlay for the map.

That would be on my wishlist.  I'd like to see a supply grid overlay too.

Yeah, that would be nice. [:)]
