One of the frustrations I have is that when I click on a unit commander, all units under his command are not highlighted.
  • My concern is with the Civil War Game series. Whether other game series are similarly affected, I do not know.
  • Now to immediately refute my concern. The ability to highlight all the units under a commander appears to be temporarily activated when you enter the "info" -> "show organization" -> click on one of the units. This seems to be overly complex and does not appear to work consistently. Consequently, making a lot of unnecessary clicks.
With the next update, I would like to have the ability to have all the units under a commander highlighted.This could be done with either a right click or a left click.

I think that's not the menu option you're looking for. Try View-> Highlight -> Organization.
Hotkey 'Q', it's also sticky so it will remain activated.

Yep, use the HotKey and it will remain active, including when you go to a new organization. It remains active until some other "highlight" function needs to be executed.

I would like to see more info in the "Selection Dialog" box (spacebar hotkey). It's such a convenient hotkey and the menu appears right on the player's mouse cursor, so no need to move the eyes to the side or bottom of the screen.

Additional info would be Morale, Movement Points and Troop Quality:

Would be nice to see it converted a bit to display the Hex terrain info as well.

Thanks that really helped.
