Enemy Unit Traits

Post by w_michael »

Is there any way to view enemy Unit Traits? I know that you can see your own my clicking on the terrain name plate, but I don't know how to see enemy unit traits. Is there a way?

Not sure what you mean but to compare units I often use http://mfendek.byethost16.com/?i=1

He means this very well-hidden capability of clicking here while a friendly unit is in focus:

Which toggles to the Unit Traits window:

But unfortunately I don't see any way to do the same with an enemy unit. Hence the suggested link to Unit Navigator, which on a PC can be running in the background and is accessible by keying Alt + Tab when needed. The Unit Navigator thread is one of the stickies in this forum.

I use the Unit Navigator, but an in-game option would be nice. Looking at friendly unit traits is very well hidden indeed. You could say that it was "Concealable".

That's a fact. I would imagine, though, that incorporating Unit Navigator into the game probably is not as easy as it sounds, plus it would mean sharing some of the wealth.

Sorry, I meant being able to view non-friendly unit traits within the game, not that Unit Navigator be incorporated. Swapping out to it is a workaround.
