My biggest play issues

Post by Vypuero »

#1 big issue, one that is EASY to fix: The Icons in the lower right hand side - every unit has an icon that looks like a UK roundel - regardless of what side it is on. It makes it very, very hard to see at a glance who is who. WHY is this not set to look like the country of origin??? It should be:
Germans - white cross on black
Russians - yellow star on red
... and so on

PLEASE FIX

#2 issue - unit selection. Sometimes I very clearly have a unit selected, or an attack to make, with the odds showing. I click, and instead of the unit or the attack, a nearby unit is selected instead. This is a real pain in the arse and makes the game a chore to play at times. Also not too hard to fix, I hope.

From another thread
ORIGINAL:  Obsolete

Roundels indicate movement status, same thing as in the PG series.

You really need to read the manual.

Look - I know WHAT the roundels do - but why are they not also different for each Nation? Why make them all the same looking like UK roundels? It would make it easier to tell what units are what - just an added way to tell.
