Other Means Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 The main thing is; how on Earth are you supposed to be able to keep track of where everything is or what status they are at? It's very difficult to work with. Even the unit icons get lost between buildings. What I'd like is to either make buildings transparent between the unit and the PoV or to have a "wireframe" toggle, to turn all buildings transparent. Also if we could have the icon showing the units status - standing up or lying down or toggles so it displays ammo/casualties/morale etc. Not just the selected unit but all of them so you can see what's going on, as the units themselves are often too small. Have a line attaching the selected icon and the unit/soldiers and the interface would be giving us accurate data without, IMHO, breaking the design philosophy of the game. Any chance?

Other Means Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Also, I've seen the good and the bad of the shadow system. At one point I saw a soldier lift the Javelin to his shoulder in the shadow, in another I saw an M1 which was on a berm casting a shadow that had it hovering 30m up. When will dynamic lighting be introduced? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holman Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I'd love to see a return of CMx1's building transparency to indicate the presence of units (friendly or spotted enemy) inside. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seik Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 What I really miss in the infantry status window are the lost men. It's sometimes hard to remember either that squad is at full strength or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewood Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 George, I don't understand what you mean. As someone is KIA, his weapon disappears. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other Means Posted August 13, 2007 Author Share Posted August 13, 2007 I really think the inclusion of unit status on the icon would make the game 100% more playable. In CM1 you could see who was taking cover at a glance, here the units are too small and there's no way to make them bigger - so transfer that info to the icon and it's solved. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
