It's a trivial thing, but could you please either

a) move the Send back to Star button further away from the Confirm button

or

b) change the colour of the arrow.

The number of times I've loaded troops up only to send the general to the Star menu by mistake this week is beyond a joke...

Yes, I know it's user error, but the interface isn't helping :o

Agreeing - While I've only send a general to star menu once by accident, there's been server times when I've almost done it, or only not done it cos it's inactive.

If you don't want to move it, maybe make it so the ability can be activated, or inactivated in the settings.

suck up krieg!! XD

nah it is in the way a bit but i'm sure we will get used to it, just like the mouse pointer moving a fraction just as you click where to place your gen for a block and it ends up half a slot out of place :) we'll get used to it, ty for putting the button there BB.

Yes totally agreed. I posted a thread about this yesterday too. I had all generals filled with troops for a vlt and then I sent my quartermaster and my MG to star instead of confirming it. It is very annoying.

I agree, [/sarcasm on] if you cant see the difference between an Arrow (OK), and a Star (send to star), maybe you should be making an appointment with specsavers and let devs concentrate on fixing things that need doing first :) [/sarcasm off]

I disagree mark. its instinctive to hit the button on the left. yes we will get used to it but all the best games are instinctive. I think budgy's suggestion of making it smaller would be good and it's a very easy quick fix.

look into it bb programmers, honestly it is very quick and easy. get the tea boy to do it while he eats a twix!

[/sarcasm on]gl today, hoping to see l'ster vs man u in the charity shield[/sarcasm off]

It's not instinctive, it's habitual. As with any changes to the game we just need to learn new habits.

Habitual or not. That do not make up for the initial design flaw and won't help to avoid misclicks because of mouse pointer lag (or using a pad).

Put the Move to Star-button to the left - along with all other general actions - below the Retreat-button.
Put the Switch units-button to the right below troops - along with all other troops related buttons.

Then I would like to have both Move to Star-button and Switch units-button enabled only when Unload all units-button is disabled - when no troop is to be assigned. No differ between home island and adventure.
For just one click extra, that way the Unload all units-button would be the safety here to avoid misclicks. (Clicking Cancel-button reverts this.)
