White knights

[antisback]

No i'm not complaining that whit knights are overpowered (though they are)

I am merely wondering why they are at the top of the hack report when no other lethals start before harvesters, i keep missing them there as i'm conditioned not to check till after harvester, can we please move them further down the hack report please.


System hack on xx [xxxx] successful:

Hand's up if you missed white knights first time you read that (or would've had this thread not been about them being at the top of the hack report )

Please and ty

i did a similar thing with them on the military page! im used to gards being at the top so i ended up sendign just white knights and thieves on an attack... didnt work so well.

/me puts his hands up

I said exactly the same thing on irc yesterday:

[21:55:08] <toby> i think white knights should be put somewhere else on the hack
[21:55:16] <toby> i keep missing them
[21:55:32] <toby> since inns go at the top and lets at the bottom

Bold them in green.

I seem to remember Azzer saying somewhere that the reason they were put at the top of the list is so they are easier to see straight away

But yeah, seems to be having the opposite effect so thumbs up for moving them!

Move them to the bottom or at least near the lethals goddammit!
(Just missed them on a hax and got raped first tick by them)

I've missed them on about 20 attacks. Needless to say I don't have much flak left :/

 

[Hobo]

me too.
amusing as it to work out how much i will grab then having a bit of a shock

I agree. Even immediately after reading this forum thread I still managed to miss them xD Fortunately I can spot them far more easily on the spy reports

For those annoyed at their overview, don't forget that you can rearrange the order of your troops (for military and overview) by using the ID settings ---> Unit Sorting

 

[Gooner]

I always see them...being at the top is just a lot easier for me personally :I

 

[IceOfFire]

Great idea

 

[LAFiN]

I think it just took some getting used to. I haven't missed them for a few days now, but after first getting hax I was running into them all the time.

I can change the unit code used by white knights and wizards so they appear at a specific point - ie after every single other unit in the game (always at the bottom of any lists, not at the top), but people seem to be getting used to actual glancing at the very first unit listed in a hax to see if it actually says gardener or not...?

um back onto the white knight/wizard topic again. I know they are admin units, but is there any problems with making them appear in the "unit statistics" page to see how many you've killed/died/etc?
