Active Unit Suggestion

Post by Nebless »

Something I've noticed while playing the demo - It's sometimes difficult to pick out which unit you've just tabbed to when you have a number of the same units in close proximity.

Twice now I've ended up moving the wrong units because I thought I had a different unit active.

Suggestion: Highlight the active unit you have called up with either .... say a gold box around the unit or a gold ! or something that will get your attention. Even increasing the graphic's size so make it stand out would work.

There definitely is some indication of which unit is selected - I forget what it is without having it on screen. However if its not clear then it is something we should look at.

There is a yellow selection box which appears under the selected unit. Can you be more specific about the units you found it hard to see it on, and where on the map they were. Perhaps it is tough to see when units are in buildings etc.

Cheers

I'm playing the unlocked Normandy Demo.

The 2 units I accidently moved were airborne units located in the eastern village guarding the bridge (church tower area).

They did both start out in buildings so the yellow boxes must be harder to see when you have multiple graphics going in the same square.

I'll take a look. It might be a little subtle.

Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback :).

Cheers
