Labels on Maps!

Post by hags99 »

Will you please add city/objective labels on the maps. In naval battles in particular I wound up disbursing my units and missing objectives.
I lost the Coral Sea scenario despite destroying all Japanese units, apparently because some objective wasn't taken.

I lost guadalcanal 3 times because the henderson airfield hexes are not labeled at all. So I can just luckily guess which hexes I have to defend and which not. This (I hope its not a feature but only a sloppy bug) was wasting several hours of my free weekend time. I am NOT amused! :evil:

Hi enpi,

If you click the question mark next to each objective in the turn report (which you can also access by clicking the turn counter), it will show you on the map the location of that objective (if appropriate) and any bonuses you get for completing that objective.

Also the marker color shows :), gold is primary objective, silver is secondary and bronze is not important. Just wish we can get some credit or enemy unit from those bronze marker. Being a PzC player I always have the habit of capturing all the markers hahahaha

This is great so I feel bad being a pest who keeps asking for things. BUT...

Any chance the map labels can be tied to a keypress instead of an options toggle? Or both? I love being able to see them but I would like to turn them on and off without having to go into the settings constantly.

I know, we are never satisfied.
