Default Re: Increase of the unit’s visibility

Personally I don't like it - sorry.

If you need to differentiate between factions (and find units) then turn on the ID tags (use one of the small flag mods to avoid the default large flags covering the Icons) and/or ID numbers.

I prefer the "tabletop wargame" look to the "boardgame look" - I play without hexes for instance - and find that your infantry "counters" hide the detail of what terrain those infantry are actually sitting in (many mods are trying to ensure that you can see more, rather than less, of the terrain - roundel VP mod for example). I know some people have even toyed with the idea of a mod to make all infantry the same scale as vehicles (rather than them displaying "bigger" as they do currently) - I have already done this for my motorcycles, etc.

Just as an aside - redrawing every icon in the game would be an enormous and daunting task!

The "cardboard, boardgame tokens" are nicely done btw, just not for me - sorry.
