Quick question on UI

[sansanjuan]

In the province screen when scrolling though the mages/commanders (in a mage heavy province) if you scroll past the end, the units originally set to "move" or "cast" get reset to "defend". Is there anyway around this? Maybe it is a "fog of war" feature? It certainly may be some form of operator incompetence on my part. Apologies if this has been answered.

One way around it: increase/decrease the size of the mage icons. I think it's Ctl-"+"? Should say on the help screen.

They do? I haven't seen that...

I haven't seen it either, but I still think resizing the icons should work around the issue.

Ok. I got home and tried it out. What happens is that I sometimes have a unit(s) selected (casting, etc) and scroll down through the matrix of commanders. When I get to the end of the list the arrow disappears and I inadvertantly click on a province underneath said arrow. The UI thinks I want to move the selected unit(s) to that far away province, it can't, so it sets the selected units to "defend". Sorry to clutter the forum with that one.

Ah, no worries. Thanks for letting us know what it was. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Any way, the workaround for that is to scroll using + and - keys instead of clicking on the arrows.

To resize the icons, I use < and > keys, but it might vary a bit between different keyboards and OSs. I have Windows and a Finnish keyboard.
