So, I love the game, but I found I have a major problem. I'm green color deficient and have difficulty seeing some colors (green included). This means that telling the difference between enemy and friendly units can prove to be very frustrating and problematic.

Are there any considerations for an option for people who can't see the colors very well? Maybe like a mark on the enemy units? I am on the iPad version right now.

Thanks

On the PC someone could solve the problem with a mod. On IPad it isn't that easy as moding there is a lot more difficult with the limits Apple is imposing. As far i know there is no consideration for such an option from the devs and they are quite busy at the moment with Soviet Corps and Warhammer 40k development so even if they consider you request it may take a while before it happens. Still it is good to post the idea here and maybe it get done at some point.

If you get the PC version, I could make a very simple mod up that replaces unit icons with the nato graphics (like an "X" for infantry, "O" for tanks, "CA" for cruisers.), and change the "strength plates" so that they say "Axis" and "Allied" next to them. The units could say what country they belong to, if that matters.

Let me know if you're ready to go ahead. (Sorry, no mods for iPads)

Ok, I understand no mods for the iPad and that mods would help in this case, but I'd imagine it couldn't be too difficult of an option to implement into the game officially, and it would help a great deal. I love this game, but I really have difficulty seeing who I'm supposed to even be fighting or where they are sometimes compared to my own units. I'd imagine this might help others who have no problem with colors clear things up even. Heck, just make diamond shaped number boxes or something...

If you love the game as much as you make it sound, I'm sure that you would be willing to pay a bit extra for the PC version, which the community will be willing to assist you in modding it.

My use of cash doesn't prove my love of the game in my opinion. My computer isn't exactly mobile, my iPad is. Simple as that.

Fair enough.

The problem with implementing this is not the difficulty but the fact that the developer team is really small. It just got one coder and a few graphic guys. They are all really busy at the moment with stuff announced earlier where they are obliged to deliver it in time. I am afraid, even if they consider your request, you will have to wait for a while.
