Bismarck Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Is there anyway to look at a units info screen while purchasing units. For example during the game you can click on the unit and press enter. Which brings up the info sceen of that unit. But when your buying units it gives you a very basic list of what that unit has at the bottom of the screen. I find this really annonying espically when I'm try to figure out the differences between units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Hofbauer Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 While what the others have already said is absolutely true, do not despair, there might be a workaround for you. Some helpful people have come up with unit databases in excel format. You can easily switch to the desktop from within CM by hitting, uhm, what was it again, shift-tab? Then you can view the unit database applet and find the information you are looking for, and click right back into CM where you left off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of simplicity and stability in a Windows environment is next to unbelievable. Yet another reason to simply love CM. M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Kruger Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Even better, make a printout.. I for one hope we never become a true paperless society, some things are too valuable to trust to 1s and 0s, don't you agree? Ie. hot chick's phone numbers and the like.

Treeburst155 Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 CM is so Windows friendly I frequently have three instances of the program running at once. I've never run into anything else with 3D graphics that was so Windows friendly. Treeburst155 out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
