Just noticed that there is no longer an unit action button to heal until an enemy is sighted. Is this correct?

I don't remember there ever being such a button in RI. Just double-checked 3.5 in case I was going crazy, but I don't see it there either. Can you provide a screenshot of it being there?

Any unit ordered to heal will "wake up" if an enemy unit comes near iirc. ?
That's just the normal "heal" button no ?

I think so yeah, at least I always assumed it to work that way.

Jeez Louise now I think I must be crazy. I had two previous games under 3.5 with hot fix. One went to Jul 1897 before MAF issues, and the other finished 1975 (comments posted under another thread.) If I was imagining the button it was though the better of 1 1/2 mos of daily play.. Can't produce screenshot as 3.50 now off my system but below is a ROM-AND game showing the button.
Under 3.55 game had a damaged warrior and saw there was no sentry healing button so used just heal button and left it to heal when after a few turns it was ambushed and killed off.
Sorry for the confusion.

Now I'm sure I never saw this button in RI; I think you just saw it in other mods - I am theoretically aware of other mods implementing stuff like that, but it was never a part of any version of RI.

Will accept that. I am almost 79 and stranger things have happened in my mind.
That brings me to the second point. The saved game below is a recreation that led me to my imaginary "Sentry Heal Button" The wounded warrior on the hilltop in the lower west, has been healing since 2700BC. Now at 2640BC a Barbarian Warrior has maneuvered adjacent to him and preparing to attack. OK my confession time, Old Bucky Beach is a cheater and uses "New Random Seed on Reload" setting. I have ran the save several times with mixed results, dead/survived, but, even at that if you click on the friendly you will see he is still in a healing state and is not alerted.
This is not a big thing and will adjust my play according but just wanted to bring it to your attention in case someone else brings it up.

Sure, thanks for bringing it up. If I ever feel bold enough, I'll try implementing sentry heal.
