Detailed unit tooltip questions

Post by Pocus »

Hi gents,

I would like to know how often and how useful you find the detailed units tooltip?
In particular, do you remember reading the detailed unit description (it is also present in the unit build panel, before buying a unit)

I aready developed habit of holding CTRL while hovering over units. It's very useful and I don't need to consult Units.csv file for this purpose. I don't think there is a single useless bit of information there. Admittedly I don't read unit descriptions a lot, but sometimes they give nice hints when I can't tell what type this unit is by looking at the name.

One thing would be cool is to add full stack upkeep cost in parentheses next to a single unit upkeep values. Or this is information is better suited for ledger.. Either way, I can imagine it is one of the most popular QoL requests out there.

Hello:
as a new player I find it very useful. I'm reading all the descriptions every time I create a new unit in order to get used to the different statistics.
Personally even more details will be welcome, for example what Effectivenes is used for, when the new Experience level will be get ( i.e. Experience Level: 3 (56 / 120), meaning that the unit has currently 56 exp points and 120 needed to reach level 4)

For me, detailed units tooltip is very useful. Useful information that I am missing, the symbol would mean that units is free supported (free to upkeep).

Very useful and the detailed tooltips are very well done with color coding to make them easy to read.

I think I know most by heart now, but I still like to doublecheck the info from the tooltips very often :)

Thanks. Good to know that these tips are being read, as they ask for some time to set up (and be meaningful).
