Summary0011145: Various graphical modifications to help unit clarity
DescriptionRight now, it's still too hard for me to distinguish easily between military units, civilians, and gods. I do appreciate the lighter colour dress for civilians, but I think it's not enough.

Can we possibly change the flags on their back? So military flags are a bit bigger and at a different angle. Gods would hopefully glow.. I would love team-colour dress, which would make it a bit Wesnothy, though.

General graphical graphical changes to units are pretty well off the table, just FYI. The project is already closed with our contractor, and we're only able to work on that in-house at this point.

I think that the biggest problem that is contributing to what you are seeing is that there are WAY too many units on the board compared to what I had intended, based on savegames I've been seeing. Units will become more pricey and more durable, so individuals matter more and we don't have this giant mobs that are hard to keep track of.

Oh ok. If it crops back up, I intend to duplicate the flag .png files in RuntimeData/Images/TileModifiers and Photoshop them myself. Creating BlueFlagUnitCivilian should be less of a problem, because every *military* unit I'm making is at least lvl 2.

Gods now have that glow to them, and civilians are basically gone. Cheers!
