Can't see Destination arrow when in a wheat field. Aggravating.

Post by Michael Slaunwhite »

Is there going to be a fix of some kind that would allow me to see my destination arrow when in a wheat field?

I have to press the 'T' key to clear the wheat field so I can make the changes for direction. Having to press the T key to do this seems to take away from game play.

I know it's not a big deal, but I have noticed by pressing the 'T' key too many times while I'm in heavy battle sometimes grinds my fps to a halt.

Bye.

I have, still can't see it. The color of the arrow, and the color of the wheat is the problem.

Maybe having another bolder color that would outline the arrow itself.

Quick tip. Press the T key to hide textures. That works.

I have, but during heavy fighting, pressing the 'T' key can sometimes bring my fps to a crawl.

I have tried everything, and I am wondering if having a darker color outline the arrow itself would correct the need to use the 'T' key.

I only need to use the 'T' key when I send my troops into a wheat field, other than that, everything works out fine.

I'd like to see some attention paid to making the various indicators more visible, or perhaps have their brightness/size toggle-able. As it is, I find it nearly impossible to tell whether a regiment has a grayish eagle (indicating it is within my control as a player) or a yellow one (indicating that it is immediately subordinate to the selected commander).
