Drag and Drop Armies/Generals

[ckount]

Speaking of theatres and drag/drop:

1. It would be cool if we could reorganize theatre lists by dragging up or down. Having to manually recreate each theatre in order to sort its placement in the list is a bit tedious.

There are plans and designs for this. Need to figure out how to manage pinned regions in this context.

2. I would love it if in the naval/air/army lists (P, L O shortcuts) there was a button to allow us to select everything in one click. That way it would be much easier, for instance, to select all of the UK's fleets at the start of the game so they could be ordered back to a single port and merged. At the moment you have to shift + select every single one individually.

Hope you guys find time to consider such things!

This is a nuisance. We're working on harmonising the selection mechanics be these land, naval and/or air units and how these are presented/managed in all contexts.

Thanks for the reply.

Paradox have done a great job with UI fixes in the Cornflakes patch: I'm really grateful for that. Another thing that you might also consider vis-a-vis theatres is giving us an ability to hide certain theatres that we aren't currently using. A little bit like how in the EU IV outliner you can add or remove certain information that isn't relevant to you at specific times.

What would define a key division?
As drag'n drop is fairly complex to design and implement (our GUI system does not work in a way where we can just check a flag to allow DnD unfortunately (oh how I would love that to be the case)). There are designs and probably plans to be able to sort the division list for an army/army group by the stats associated with a division, eg. by type, experience etc.
Would that suffice?

Usually by type, so I can see at a glance eg 4 light tank, 4 medium tank, 6 motorised, 3 marines, rest infantry.
Sometimes pet order of experience or pet divisions, so like above but a good experienced dive pushed to top.
So yeah a different sorting method would be better than nothing. I'd be happy with the old up-down buttons that used to be in industry. And shit click to top

Shift-click would be even better than Shit-click...

Ha, yeah shift click is war in the West; shit click is East Front when bogged down and cut off.
