Mouse-over bug ?

[Captain Pugwash]

I attached a save from my recent game. I am playing as Dutch and have recently started the WoI.

When I mouse-over the settlement "Fort Orange" it shows that the tile contains ONE soldier (and a load of Dragoons and other stuff). However, I know that there are more soldiers in that settlement. When I left-click on the "Fort Orange" settlement tile, it shows that there are 4 soldiers in there which is correct.

I think it is a bug that the mouse-over shows the wrong number of units in the tile. It's quite important to me because I rely heavily on knowing exactly where my units are in the battle stage.

Good pickup! The bug is that for multiples of units it is showing unit type, not profession. You'll notice it says: Free colonist (3) meaning there are 3 free colonists (who happen to be your soldiers).

I'll add it to the patch list.

After looking at the code, I'm not calling this a bug. The game is grouping by unitType, and it is working properly.

If it were to group by professions, it would not be efficient as you could have 5 free colonists with different profession, which wouldn't group them and cause screen overflow.

In mouse-over, I want a full list of individual units by profession. If they are grouped then I can't see individual promotions.

Nice in theory, but how do you propose that works with 30 units in the tile?
