when hovering over a single unit/battalion with the mouse , would it be useful to have the number of men displayed in the tooltip box or whatever that thing is called alongside Unit name and terrain. thinkabou tit

i play many a battle, and often times it happens that i am looking at the number of men (so far didnt see any woman in my ranks) when hovering over my units and i have to look at the bottom of the screen each time, it is slightly tiring especially if you are a true man like me and play fog 2 every single day 10 hours a day (and you play very large battles)

knowing the number of men is very important in multiplayer, since AI is on the level of vito's brother (post beating) - because i can estimate how many rounds i can endure with that particular unit

would also kinda feel nice, having it displayed like that (can be toggable). maybe even make it : wounded ,killed, Available

Its a good point. We did think long and hard about what information was displayed where and in what format and came up with what we thought was the best at the time. Thats not one I remember ever being asked for but its certainly worth considering.

Good suggestion. Having the number or the percentage of men remaining (or maybe an option between the two) in the tool-tip would be more useful than the current ID number.

It would also be great if unit card told (in text or friendly/hostile color code) which faction an unit belongs to. Currently it can be hard hard to tell with a glance which faction a routing unit belongs to (or even just because of all the status effects on the flag). It would also be convenient if the unit card told whether the unit has already moved or attacked that turn.
