Re: UI suggestions
There doesn't appear to be any way of saving the game during the Deployment phase . This is the phase of the game where I do most of my thinking, so to have the option to save the game, take a break and come back to the problem a few hours later would be a boon.

Re: UI suggestions
In SP you can save the game both in Force Selection and Deployment phases.
In MP you can't save it during Force Selection (there was a technical reason for that, although I can't immediately remember what it was), but you can save during the Deployment phase.

Re: UI suggestions
I would like the turn count listed under My Games in the multiplayer lobby.

Re: UI suggestions
That is a good suggestion.
Although the turn is already stated in the notification emails if you sign up for those.

Re: UI suggestions
When you turn an artillery unit and mouse over a potential target the UI will only tell "Can't shoot when moved". It would be more useful to see the full usual shooting info (out/half/full arc, in range, long range, blocked los etc) even in that situation so you could make more informed rotations with the artillery.

Filter the minimap to show unrouted units only

Re: UI suggestions
Maybe this topic is not the best place to send this post, but i dont have got better idea, where to send it, so:
Can you change the font color on this forum from dark green to something lighter in places like: Moderator: rbodleyscott or in left down corner of the screen Return to “Field of Glory II: Medieval”", because its completelly invisible and blended with the background?

Re: UI suggestions
I have hot seat mode turned on. But every time I restart the game, it defaults back to off. The settings should retain my choices.

Re: UI suggestions
This is working as designed.
In the case of Hot Seat we decided that it should not do so. Most people will only use Hot Seat some of the time, so the game defaults to turning it off when it starts.The settings should retain my choices.

Re: UI suggestions
This is very curious. It doesn't affect anyone who doesn't play hotseat to have it set to players' personal preference.
It says somewhere on the forum that only 5-10% of players play MP, so say, 1 out of 10 players. You seem very confident that less than 1 out of the remaining 9 don't play hotseat. But then again, hotseat wasn't even offered in Pike & Shot if I remember correctly.

Re: UI suggestions
Would it be possible to add an option for the banners to be displayed as either red and blue (Red - Side A; Blue - Side B)? Similar to Ancients style where most of the time, Side A has a dark red banner and side B a light blue.
I am suggesting this because I find it more difficult to distinguish units in Medieval than in Ancients.
So, it is harder to distinguish units here (Medieval)... ...as opposed to this (Ancients)

I am aware of that option but it only works when banners are very similar (Civil Wars, etc).Patrick Ward wrote: ↑Tue Apr 02, 2024 3:13 pm
