Also did you know you could (Shift ) Right click a field to open that window, or select a different field if that window is open?

o_O ! 

     Im guessing, but I do not think most people know that.  There is no point in adding commands or features if the general users do not know they exist.  at least for a game.   Actually I doubt that many are aware of ability to check field status.   How often do we receive "is the VH down"? questions when we can readily see it?

     I think my wish then is for a consolidated, concise and clear instructional manual of how the game operates.

Be careful what you wish for. Think how a manual would prevent quick changes like this one. It would change 15 mins of work into 2 hours because of having to keep the manual completely up to date.

So the choice would be made not to make this type of change.

Is there a way (other than directly looking at the town) to tell if the town is white flag?  If not, could it be added to this status screen?  Or perhaps have the little yellow square turn white on the map?

yep familiar with the shft/ rt-click, and the shift\ for another text channel tuned to VOX.

Have to tell ya though for a  :lol
I brought up war status on a field and it then dawned on me the info was on clipboard. My thought process was:
[1] How the heck did I manage to bring up my snapshot of my wish?  :uhoh
[2] Wait a minute, that was even on a different map... :headscratch:
[3] I had my wish granted  :cool:

When you select a field with war status it already switches to white, so that might be a conflict. I regularly use this to locate fields when I can't find em on a map.

Was my wish ungranted or is this somthing that is similar to the truck convoys that need to be updated for each map? I assume so as the last map I looked at didn't have it.

Maybe I mentioned mayonnaise too often.   :confused:

Maybe a topic for bug forum.
