Retributar Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I for the first time in forever got bored and decided to reconfigure an old computer and bring it up to operational status. I got interested in reinstalling an old Panzer General-1 game...to see if it would work in WindowsXP. I found that they had a good system for keeping track of UNITS, much easier than cycling through all the units one by one. You could call up a miniaturized map...and see all the ICONS (Which represented your units LAND/SEA & AIR < Two groups or sets) of where your troops are on the map and be able to instantly see by means of a flashing ICON which would indicate that, that those flashing UNITS had not yet moved!. Then you click the flashing ICON and it brings you to your regular game-scale map...and you then can move that UNIT which was missed!. It works just great...i prefer this system much more than cycling through UNITS...its much less work!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill101 Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Yes, I remember this and it was useful. Either this or something similar (e.g. off the top of my head, all moved units have a black ring around their base) would be good. Hubert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubert Cater Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hi Retributar, Yes, we'll probably have something similar to this as well Hubert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
