Idea: Ability to see units during talking only scenarios
I know it's a bit of a lengthy title, but that is basically what it is.
Why is it that on a scenario when there is only talking, then units can only be seen when they're tlaking, and not when they aren't talking? Couldn't you add a option for this in the options menu, to allow units to do this?
The thing is, I have a bad memory, so I look at one unit to try and remember who he is but he doesn't talk. Or I see another unit, and that unit is like guard to the king, I haven't seen him yet but he's there and he doesn't talk.
This would add another layer to the game, where people with bad memory can play properly.
Thanks for reading.

Do you mean you want to see the names of the units at mouse-over in talking-only scenarios? Yeah, this has bothered me sometimes too.xer wrote:I know it's a bit of a lengthy title, but that is basically what it is.

Would be interesting if a script were installed to allow Google searching of the forums by click in the upper right. Kind of like the "view unread posts" script that was added.xer wrote:DISCLAIMER: I searched before I started this. Using google if you say search is down.

I agree. I also don't think it will be trivial to fix, unfortunately.

One thing that helps is that the talking unit is now highlighted, AFAIK.
