Two interface questions...
Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2016 9:21 am
I am new to the game, so please forgive two newbie interface questions:
1. Is there an ability to select ALL units in a hex quickly?
I see a lot of *requests* for this one, and I see a patch has been issued recently with "keyboard shortcuts". But I've been unable to find the list of those shortcuts and am wondering if this is one of them? Honestly, this feels like "urgent need #1" if not already implemented... the process of selecting units is - at best - tedious as currently described in the manual. But perhaps I am missing an easier way?
2. How do I display the TOTAL MOVEMENT range of a unit (or stack of units)?
I see clearly how to display the FIRE range, but what is missing for me is the MOVEMENT range. When I select a unit, all I see are the available surrounding hexes I can move into. And when the border turns red, I know it is my last move. But what I am missing is the TOTAL range available to me at the outset, so I can plan ahead... rather than stumbling through one hex at a time, wondering how far I can go with that unit (or stack). How do I display this? Seems like a pretty fundamental GUI feature for hex games...
Thanks!
