generals being flagged

[Girly68]

Hi I think it could be awesome if the different gens was flagged with different colours. fx normal red. MG blue MMA green, then easier to keep track with when walking in adv.

I would also suggest that the Gen name (MMA, Major, etc) be seen when you hover over them

[dormeu]

+1 that would be cool

"often get distracted in a block and would be nice to know which gen reached were.." <Girly68>
floating text would be even better, it would be way cooler to distinguish between different mg's or mma's or normal gens by name..

you never know if the general you see is yours or some other player's even .. lol they all look the same..

[Gammelbold]

+1 a very very good idea.

Great idea tbh, it would improve your blocking skills knowing you have them
walking in the correct order

[n0m3RCY]

+1, or at least if you point to them it shows which generals they are.

[Borg2997]

+ 1; good idea, would like them to be coloured also when not walking, so choosing them for an attack gets easier

[FitzWilliam]

I think it is a great idea. Helps with the heart flutters :) So this is a big plus 1

very good idea, will improve our ability in the game

[FatsoTheLarge]

+1: I wear glasses and any assistance with identifying generals would be welcomed since there are so many different types. The use of colours and when passing cursor over the general the abbreviation e.g.MMA, Vargus etc, would be very helpful, not only on Home Island when seeking generals to be loaded up with troops, but also during attacks during adventures when it would make it much easier to avoid sending wrong generals at camps.

Good suggestions.

+1 yes please..

The information about which gen is in the row of attacks is a very nice idea. Besides, you did a great job with the graphic model of the 3 new gen camps... we could have diferent graphic models for every kind of gen. when in walk too. :)

Been suggested before, but still a good idea.

Great Idea, I have wasted so much time retreating whole blocks (particularly the newer one with multiple 1r attacks that are sent after the kill gen and have to slot in the correct place) because I got distracted (mostly play at work) and currently there is no way to know which little horse is which general.

Requested before, with [merge]s: http://forum.thesettlersonline.com/threads/33396-Color-of-flag-marker-over-a-gen?highlight=flags

Possibly elsewhere also but that's just one quick check. Still a good idea.

[Gladipus]

+1 Great idea

[the_accountant]

like the idea too, should help with blocking :)

[Dorotheus]

As Iolanthe pointed out this idea has been requested for a long time. I would like to know is this another idea which the devs have already looked at and have rejected for some reason such as a unacceptable performance hit, which has happened with at least one other player suggestion.

General flag color could be configured the way general names are configured. Or, the general names could follow the general while walking.
