Default Re: Newbie Questions

Hiya and welcome aboard!

1. I don't believe so - Hover over any hex and the height is displayed at the top of the screen in the red band, The mini map (bottom right) also attempts to show major height differences with colour. It is something that gets easier as you get used to it - try some desert maps to start with I find it easier on those.

2. The current version is 10.01. My understanding is you need to install V5, then the V9b consolidation patch and finally the V10.01 upgrade (all available for free on the Shrapnel site).

3. Never had an issue with screen shots... (run windowed mode with "Desktop" screen size- or highest you can with free version)

4. Units can remain hidden even after firing, you can often not know where enemy fire is coming from! - usual tips for spotting, ie use infantry, slow or no movement, etc.

Hope this helps - enjoy!
