1) When you select a unit sometimes there are red triangles over some enemy units?

2) When you select a unit the tiles that It can move to are Highlighted. A green move arrow appears. Sometimes it shakes and sometimes it is steady? Also the tiles it can't move to are highlighted in a darker color?

So far a "Great" game. Lots of fun to play!!!!

The triangle is basically saying "if you move here you will be shot!" Work is underway to remove this so players don't know where the shots are coming from

There are 2 move commands. Move fast has the arrow and your men suffer lower accuracy, and a higher casualty rate. Hunt gives you better accuracy and lowered casualty rate.


Glad your liking the game it's lots of fun. If you get bored swing to the forums and download some mods or join some tournaments. As for the triangle us iOS user don't get that. It's both a gift and a curse

The red triangle means that enemy is currently a valid target for your selected unit.

The shaking move arrow indicates that you will only need to click once to activate the action because it is the only option (you won't need to select the tile and then the action).

Tiles you can move to are highlighted in white. The tiles on the route your unit will take if you choose to move are additionally outlined in a brighter white. If you mouse over a tile out of movement range, the rest of the route is highlighted in red.

If you turn the opponent UI off, during the AI turn you will not see the unit names and icons flash by as the enemy units move.
