[Axis Campaign] Legacy of Versailles-vanilla v0.3 (11/08/14)

[Soldberg]

Tell my why it is we are not paying you for your massive efforts?

Maybe because we are good-people?! Oh and ... Thanks for the positive feedback!

I am hopeful that "Scotty" will find a place on the UI for hero info... the Undo, Supply, Sleep series of buttons could be made smaller like the Previous Unit, Next Unit buttons,in order to provide space for more detailed hero data. Please, please?

Which kind of hero info are you referring to?

[naughtybalrog]

Thanks for asking Nico...
Currently, if I want to know a unit's hero capabilities, I need to do 4 things:
Left mouse clink to select a unit
Right mouse click to access Unit Details
Left mouse click to select Battle History
Hover mouse to access Hero abilities

When there are many unmoved units and I am attempting to find the best combination of unit capabilities and hero attributes, it can be time-consuming to go through the above steps for all units. As a work-around, I rename my units with their respective hero abilities but that takes away from some of the fun of historical names or units you have named that are special...

Solution:
Redesign UI so that when I left mouse click to select a unit, the hero data is available in the Unit Info Box, along with Fuel, Ammo, Strength, etc.,

Chris tried and was close but didn't know the coding well enough. The game designers could do it but said they didn't have room. I disagreed saying the upper buttons (Replacement, Supply, Sleep, etc.,) could be made smaller just like Previous Unit, Next Unit, etc. providing ample room for the small info disply hero data would require.

Sounds like a very good idea.

[nikivdd]

I passed it on to Soldberg. To make the buttons smaller to create more space is no problem but to get the actual hero info there is another matter. He will investigate the possibilities but it is possible that this stuff is hardcoded.

Complete rapport in German of the standalone scenario: Fall Gelb. I had to alter the victory conditions somewhat for this version. The campaign version allows the player for a somewhat easier MV and a more difficult DV.
