Default Friendly hiddens icon?

Not to be a whiner or a jerk or anything, but maybe Illwinter could consider making some kind of icon that represents having hidden forces in a province? This is just a little bug-me thing that I think would be fairly correctable

This has also been repeatedly requested ...

EDIT: you may want to check out the stickied thread List Game Bugs here as well as other threads via the forum's SEARCH function, for what people have already griped about.

a good point but I feel I should mention the "n" key which made it much less irritating to me.

The brown-cloak stealthy icon would work just fine, methinks.

That, and one for labs, and another one for "recruiting", would be nice.

(the "next commander" command is nice, but in large games, I tend to have lots of commanders, some of which really do nothing - non-priests, non-mages, in a fortress, who don't want to be caught patrolling in case of a random attack; and, mostly, hordes of sneaking scouts, unmoving, as they are simply spying outside the borders. The "n" key just finds lots of them...)

I agree, PhilD. The N key is nice, but sometimes it would be nice to see them clearly on the overland map and move the ones who would benefit by having a better position.

This seems to me one of the more important interface improvements which could be made. It ranks a bit below putting army information in the basic info about the province you get without having to press the province information button.
