I need some feedback on how valuable the unit statistics functionality in FfH is.

I personally love it to death =P I mean it's not essential, but its definately quite fun to look at some of the statistics, like damage dealt, received, best fight odds, how long a units been fortified, etc. I generally check it once every few games for fun.

Its good, but I actually never use it because I always forget it exists lol

I agree with Silverkiss. It's a pretty interesting novelty, but doesn't really add to gameplay and, honestly, I never check it unless I'm totally bored.

I used it a few times when it was first added, but I don't think I've checked it at all in months.

It's awesome. I love it. Not all of the categories are interesting, but I always look at # of kills and total survival % (when I feel the urge to complain about one of my heroes losing a 98 or 99 percenter.)

If it slows down the game even a little, get rid of it asap I'd say!

I think it's nice to have, especially with the FfH emphasis on individual units instead of massive armies. I wouldn't miss it too much, but it's still a cool feature to have. (picked second option)

I check it on the end of the game, it is nice but I wouldn't really miss it. I agree with maniac, if it slows down the game even a little, remove it.

I like to know which is my best unit and the most veteran, or the one that survived the most dangerous battles, but I will use it once or twice (at most) per game. In many games I forget completely to check it.

I usually only remember that its there when the game loads and it is the first thing to pop up on the screen. It is a neat novelty, but I really never use it.

I like it and often use it. Gives some flair :).

I've never worried about it. If it's causing any overheads or would enable something else if you took it out, I definitely wouldn't miss it.

I've only looked at it once. Were it just me, I would remove it to free screen space, but it's unobtrusive enough that I don't mind its presence.

I agree that if it slows down gameplay in the slightest, it's not worth having around. I would be very surprised if that were the case.

If I am thinking of the right thing, I stumbled across it once, said, "Well lookie there", then promptly forgot about it entirely until stumbling across tis poll.

If I am NOT thinking of the right thing, then I have never noticed this thing.

In either case, the last poll choice seemed best.

It is a neat thing to have, but I rarely use it. Just on occasions when I have a super hero or a dragon. If anyone would want to write AARs, then it is extremely useful, but as far as I`ve seen, FFH players don`t write AARs.... Hmmm, maybe we should change that. Often fun to read at the office when you need to think of other things than work for a few minutes. But I`m wondering if it really slows the end game. If so, remove it....

I only really use it if I have won at amazing odds. If it slows down multiplayer then it should go - otherwise it's fine IMO.

I like it, it's useful esp late game just to see how long units have been around and what they have done

Well.. I love it, too. And it would my heart, if it would suddenly be gone :cry:

Well I think they aren't very useful in the end.
If you're that kind of player that aims at overwhelming opponents with numbers, then I don't think these stats would be very interesting for you. If you are the kind of player that micromanages units, specializing them and growing them as your own children, then you'll probably won't need to consult the page as you know as much if not more of what it contains.
Personally I found it neat, but honestly I never really use it if not to take a pause from the game itself or if I'm waiting for the turn to end in Multiplayer.
