Then we start another game, because by the time we see each other again we tend to forget what was the game about. And where all the scouts are (*B0rsuk looks at Kristoffer/JK in a threatening manner*).

Borsuk brings up a good point in a tangential manner. I know this thread is about the themes upcoming in dom3. But I *hope and pray* that there have been some UI advancements! Being able to find scouts would be a treat. As would finding equipped magic items on commanders. The list goes on.

Kristoffer: Thanks, you've been very helpful ! Your insights are very inspiring.

Yeah, really Kristoffer. Stop playing the Sphinx.

There are UI changes. All commanders' items are shown above each commander in the main menu (very small, but discernable).

I like sphinxes. Also I do not wish to end this thread by telling you what dom3 is like.

YAY! All praise the mighty developers! I'm already enjoying Dom 3.

That's really neat.

But what about scouts?

You can already find scouts with the "N" key.

And also, with the F1 key. Still, it would be nice to see a small Cloak icon on the main map screen above all provinces where sneaking units are present.

Ha ha. Yeah we all know about the hotkeys and menus.

But there really does need to be a visual indicator for scout locations. Its a pain to cycle through all the scouts which I know are already in place in order to find the ones that still need to move.

Or a way to mark units to be left out of the 'n'-key loop for this turn (like in Warlords), e.g. an alternate hide/defend command or simply an alt-n key or so which means 'n' plus do not get back to the current unit/group unless is exit&reenter this turn somehow.
