Lovely game with easy mechanics (especially if you already are familiar with the Battle Academy series), but hard to master.
I wish for more options to turn of tool-tips as they have a habit of obscuring more important info.
Would very much like to see this evolve into a series covering other over-looked areas.

In advanced options there is the option to minimise tooltips. The tooltips will then ONLY show the names of units. That is hard-coded into the engine.

Got it, but the unit name/terrain has a habit of getting in the way of combat results. I assume this will be fixed :wink:
I have also noted that some AI melees happen in the corner/edge of the map displaying only one of the combatant.
Better to have an option to center the map whenever a unit is selected (by AI/player).

The program does check that the unit being adjudicated is on the visible map, but doesn't actually centre the map for each melee, because that can rapidly become annoying.

However, as you say this may have the result that sometimes only one of the units engaged is on the screen.

Thanks for pointing this out, we will look into doing the check for both units.
