Thread: How much information do you want on the unit card?

  1. #1

    Default How much information do you want on the unit card?

    Hey guys, this poll was inspired by the discussion on the unit cards.

    Would you like to see a unit's status displayed through a bar, or a number, or both?

    And would you go even further and wish to see something similar with ammunition for units with ranged abilities?(pilum, arrows), like a bar to display vaguely how many projectiles you have left, and a number to show remaining salvos?
    "He who wishes to be the best for his people, must do that which is necessary - and be willing to go to hell for it."

    Let the Preservation, Advancement and Evolution of Mankind be our Greater Good.


    And NO, my avatar is the coat of arms from the Teutonic Knightly Order because they're awesome.

    I go for the bars. In battle I don't really care about the specific number of men remaining in a unit. I care more about knowing the remaining strength and having a bar makes that easier to see at a glance. It also has the advantage that you don't need to remember how many men a unit had at the start of the battle to see it's losses.

    For shame! We can always have both, and then you needn't deprive others of what they want. And the numbers have been shown as /the starting number of men since ETW. In Shogun 2, each unit even had a killcount

    I like numbers. It helps me to see more accurately the rate that my soldiers are falling, which leads to me taking accurate measures to slow that down.
    A bar can lead to a little bit of a confusion. I personally prefer more accurate info instantly, in your face which would just help with better decision making.

    I guess a bar would be ok for someone who does not care about individuals in a unit, but for me, I can't see myself making much use of that.
    I personally invite you to check out my complete combat overhaul which will give you a completely new Rome 2 experience:

    Moderators - would it be against forum rules for me to PM the fairly clear result to a CA dev team member?
