Re: My One UI Complaint

I agree that Undo beyond commit is problematic. After all, you don't want to allow a player to "re-roll".

However, I will make my case for a "confirm you didn't want to move an activated unit".

My claim is that, at least in the Race to the Meuse scenario, a "useless confirmation" (i.e. forcing a ...

My One UI Complaint

I'm curious whether anyone else does this to themselves, but I find at least once a (game) day or two, I activate an area with multiple units (usually one armor and one infantry), and, all fired up I send one unit into battle. I check the odds, they look good, and hit commit.

Re: Too much blue?

Also, if you zoom out, the rivers are *much* easier to see.

However, a "high-contrast" setting would be nice. I'd like to see the current evocative current art as default, but have an option for a more symbolic, easier-to-read mode (tree in bright green, road in bright red, river in bright blue ...
