Feature requests

[Strela]

Some on here have played PzC games for more than a decade probably. I wonder are they resistant to change because of this, i.e. they have the mechanics down plus it doesn't matter how many clicks it takes as they have managed very large scenarios in say PzC games. I hope the developers will listen to new players of PzB and improve a system that is already strong in many ways. The UI is not one of those.

Hi All,

The petitions regarding UI and reporting is noted.

I'm mulling over some requests for John that may allow us to improve the UI without requiring a huge amount of coding.

One example is Wiggum's request for an improved strength dialog (possibly a review of all reporting) another is GerryM's 'hover' function. The 'hover' function would be an optional interface choice where placing the mouse cursor over a stack will show the units in the stack. This is akin to selecting a hex and hitting 'space'. When the feature is activated, holding the mouse over the hex for a few seconds would open up a listing of the contents of the hex - without requiring a click.

As far as ComradeP's request for 'Arrive All', I mentioned that to John and will follow up. DogSoldier is right - there will be defensive fire and I can think of a few ways that could be handled including stopping the Arrive All process when a unit is fired on. A player can then restart the process until it is completed or interrupted again.

Finally, I want to see what enhancements John has done for his handheld games to see if there is anything we can lift from there. Please keep in mind that John is a one man band who codes everything himself and that means every change needs a solid justification and prioritisation.

That said, with new players joining the Tiller family we need to make things as simple as possible.
