In dom2, when I had too many commanders in a province to all be shown on the screen at once, I could use the mouse wheel to scroll up/down the list of commanders. Cool. This was great. I CANT DO THIS IN DOM3!?!!?!!! Instead, the mouse wheel zooms the map... AUGH! What's worse, I cant find ANY way to scroll the commander list. If I want to access a commander buried under the others, I have to find him in the f1 screen and click on him. Please tell me there is a way I can scroll through the commanders... please... :'(

There's two arrows next to the commander list that you can click on, and you can press - or + on the keypad to scroll.

Ah, somehow I missed those likkle arrows. Guess I need new glasses. Or I should actually wear the ones I have...
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I was about to hyperventilate.

A nice improvement would be to utilize "press & hold" so that multiple mouse clicks or multiple button clicks were not necessary.

Tauren, this had me stumped for a while too. Maybe in a patch they can make the arrows more salient...

Or perhaps just make mouse-scroll scroll the commander list when the mouse is over the commander list and zoom the map when it is not.

Also, you can use '<' and '>' to resize the commander icons.

Make sure you hit SHIFT + < or > to change the size.

Depends from keyboard. I have one key which has < most of the time, > when I use that key with SHIFT, and | (which is neither l, 1 or I) when I use ALT+CTRL. I think your advice helps more people than my little blurb here, though. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
