Tech Descriptions

[baylox]

I haven't found this by searching, so I'll post it as a suggestion.

I'd like to see the tech description fields (from tech_names.csv) to be made available in the game, perhaps as pop-ups when hovering over the tech in question. There are pop-up information in a whole bunch of other places, so it would make sense (to me) to have them for the techs as well - especially since specific fields already exist in the game files.

Now, I don't demand that PI also supply full descriptions for all the techs, but the basic functionality. This would help us modders a whole lot by allowing us to easily explain other-category requirements and other types of info, which is now currently not possible.

Thanks for your attention.

I totally agree. I don't know how many times I forgot which fighters were good for what and had to go to the main map to see the discription of my interceptors, just so icould make a general assuption about what the other ones would be best suited for.

This hasn't exactly garnered a massive response, so I'll just bring it back up in hope someone will notice. Any other modders that feel this would be a good idea?

I felt that the tech-descriptions in HOI1 were terrific. They taught a lot of history and I was saddened to see them disappear in HOI2. I've had the same desire to see something like it in HOI 2. Maybe in the research-screen, where the five different techs needed for a complete technology, the info could show when the cursor was on the icons, where there already is a snip of text.

I'm for.

Pretty please, with sugar on top?
