view single units?

[paplan]

so I remember that Civ 4 default view had 3 of everything--ie, if you had a settler, the graphic that appeared was 3 settlers in a tile. This got on my nerves, and there was a choice to change the view to a single settler.

Now Civ 5 has about 10 dudes (that represent a single unit) running around in a tile. Can you change this to just one?

I was told that someone is working that. I eagerly await this "mod".

Yeah, I'm also used to having single unit graphics, and 10 guys running around seems to be too much for me. If they do have such a mod, I'd be all for it! They would also have to scale the models to be a bit bigger though.

 

[Buccaneer]

Especially since the 10 guys are tiny and hard to tell what they are. They put their symbol above so we can easily tell but that looks cheesy, imo. If it was a single, larger unit (like in every civ game up until 5), then the unit would be easily recognizable and more distinctive with their colors and details.

When their strength is depleted, you see fewer individuals. I liked the single unit view with a strength bar better.

Thank you Kael, that is one of the game-savers for me.

I want:

A) One single bigger unit that is easier to distinguish (I feel that the terrain, units and improvements look good, but blend together)

B) Better health display. "5/10" instead of a bar because we will need it if it's only one displayed unit.

anyone know of any mods to fix this yet. Its getting on my nerves.
Thanks
