2-Button Mouse Interface & Unit Stats

Post by Mousehold »

When the mouse interface is set to 1-button, left click is used for selection and orders. Right click lets you see a unit's detailed stats. I strongly dislike this mouse mode because one slightly missed click can ruin everything. I find it especially troublesome when I try to select an air unit while I have a ground unit selected that can move into that hex, and I'm used to RTS games where right click is used for orders and left click is used for selection.

Fortunately 2-button mode fixes this. But then I can't right click to see a unit's detailed stats. This didn't seem to be a problem at first, but once I played the last tutorial mission and put my units into naval transports, I realized I had no idea which ships contained which units. Without being able to check the unit card itself, I don't see any way to know. This seems to be a minor oversight but it really frustrates play with 2-button mode when undertaking any major amphibious actions.

I'd like to see the middle mouse button open the stats pop-up box for a unit in 2-button mode, or to have right-click open it if no unit is selected, but if there is actually a way to see it currently, please let me know. Having to switch to 1-button mode just causes me to make repeated hair-pulling mistakes when trying to push my pieces around the map.

Thanks! And great game otherwise.

From the main page you'll see Library, which has Hotkeys listed in it.
Alt-Click is the one you want to see unit details.

It's not ctrl+click it's ALT +click.

ok, ALTclick. but it's not working, previusly was ok, but now... maybe after Afrika corps something change. probably clean reinstall would help. it's not something important, so I can live without.

Have you changed the mouse interface? You have two options in the game, two button and one button.
