Movement Points?

from Elemental Forums

How do I tell how many movement points I have left on my SOV/or any char?

Before I move. I am trying to learn the game. I can right click twice and move/move.

How do I see my selected units move options before I end turn, and or while I am trying to move them?

 

 

PS... I love Stardock, I bought this game knowing it was for "gamers", but the lack of documentation is absurd.

I am staring at Sins manual, 76 pages, I am Sure I can find Galactic Civ's manual and it will be over 100.

The PDF manual for WOM was 36 high font bloated pages of nothing.

 

PSS..I love Stardock....BUT...this so far does not have the initial polish of even Stardock standards. I know they will make it better in time. But from a veteran old school gamer, I have no idea what i am doing. I feel sorry for casual gamers.

If you have any suggestions on how we could make it easier let us know.

It looks like stuff under the Vitals tab shows the stats of the character for reference. Current move points on the other hand is not a stat reference, but something that is actively being used.

I'd prefer if it was separated from the Vitals tab and shown somewhere all the time regardless of which tab is chosen.

I Second that, maybe where the equipment shield used to be (before the 1.05 patch) on the character's portrait

It is the sword and shield icon next to your HP bar. You can also find it in the actions tab.

Ok.  Please show remaining movement points in the default GUI* for the active unit.  Don't make me go searching for it (not that it is anywhere to be found currently anyway).  Also, it would be nice to be able to "right-click and hold" to see where the unit can move, and how many turns it will take to get there (like that other TBS game).

 

 

*by default GUI, I mean the basic campaign map overlay where all the other basic info is displayed.

Although the GUI feels okay by now, the available movement points thingy just doesn't feel right.

Maybe highlight the area around the selected unit with "able to go THIS far with the currently available movement points during THIS turn" could clear things up a bit.
