Stupid Question about Unit Traits

Post by AgentTBC »

Ok, maybe I'm missing something obvious: How can I tell what Unit Traits a unit has besides going into the purchase screen? Surely there is a way to look at the traits of existing units?

For a selected unit, click on the box with the terrain type name (above the terrain type picture) to switch it to traits display.

It would be great if we could get terrain details for an uninhabited hex.

I would like to be able to click on, for example, a forest hex, and see what the attack/defense/cover modifiers are before deciding whether or not to move my unit there.

I'm sure after much play, these couldbe memorized (probably never with my horrible memory), but I think this would be a great addition.

Yeah, I was just thinking that myself. Should be able to check the att/def values and stuff for other hexes before you attack.

Also a good place to put settlement names if the developer is dead set against having them on map. ;)
