[Suggestion] Label the territories/units or change the color coding please!

April 1, 2013 8:11 PM from

I guess at some level color coding units and cities with the strength level makes sense, assuming you're at war with everyone

Since I'm more of a peacemonger, I don't really care about the potential threat, I care about the strength of monsters and people I'm at war with. The current map scheme has no way that I can see to determine that without clicking on the units and hitting talk or moving into view of the cities to see the owner.

Suggestions (pick some) I like #1, but I could live with #2 and #3 I think.

1) Offer an option to show the civ colors instead of the strength level for units and terrain.

2) Add the civ to the tooltip when mousing over terrain or units.

3) Make it a real threat level and leave the neutrals green.

I don't understand what your asking for? What UI element are you talking about?

2) Add the civ to the tooltip when mousing over terrain or units.

This is given away by the color of the header on the tooltip.

3) Make it a real threat level and leave the neutrals green.

If by this you mean a relative threat level, I kinda agree with you.
