Air Group Range Circles

Post by IslandInland »

This has probably been requested previously but at the moment I find the air range circles would be much improved in their usefulness if when selecting an air unit that air unit's range was in a different colour than all the other air range circles.

At the moment there can be many range circles on the map and it can be difficult to ascertain which one is which. Perhaps there is a way to further highlight the air range circle of a selected air group but if that is the case then I don't know how to see that on the map.

Yes this is something I remember asking.
Chancellor Gorkon to Captain James T. Kirk:
You don't trust me, do you? I don't blame you. If there is to be a brave new world, our generation is going to have the hardest time living in it.

To me that would seem the better option. Maybe if just a single range circle automatically displayed when clicking on the one air unit I'm concerned with at the moment. Do I really need to see the range circles of all my air units on the map at once? Might be easier on the eyes to just quickly cycle between them individually. Even if they are all different colors it's going to be a bit confusing if all displayed at once as certain warm colors like red and orange rendered in thin lines often look alike.

Thanks. I think it will improve the usefulness of range circles.
