Ok im liking the game so far (liked 2010 alot as well) and still getting used to the interface changes.. perhaps im blind but im not finding any way to filter obsolete units off or to pick and show ONLY my favorite unit types.

for some teck groups like the communist countries they litterally have thousands of unit id rather just block out and show the few i like.

How do i filter turn these on/off? in 2010 there was a simple click box on each unit but im not seeing one here am i blind and missing something?

Thank you for your time

Select the unit.
top left hand corner. ( i think)

I still haven't gotten around to doing it. I'm planing on within the next few hours.

on the unit itself or on the technical readout on the unit description you look at before building it? before you could lock the tech out you didnt have to have the unit to make it obsolete... and when looking at the techs readout there is nothing in the upper corners besides the x to close the readoubt (that or im blind again)

Units go obsolete based on an equipment file entry. There is a game menu option to filer Obsolete/Replaced however this is currently broken

Also, the Favorites/Excluded filter works in the menu, but the ability to mark them Fav/Excl is not in at this time.

It will all appear on my "known issues" list (yes, I'm still working on it...)

Oh ok so it wasnt me being really dumb .. i can be really dumb if i set my mind too it but i guess this time its not my fault hopefully its fixed its not game breaking issue but a quality of life issue especially with those eastern countries with ten million slight upgrades on thier weapon systems.

Wich makes me wonder why is it that in general each (western) nation tend to have only a few of each weapon types for particular roles and they tend to upgrade those particular weapon platforms. but you go to the eastern powers they just dont let equipment get obsolete they have to keep 317 different artilliary 119 infantry types,30+ tanks and 20+ bombers 20+ fighters 20+ multi role fighter/bombers active at the same time!

i noticed then when in the army .. it was easy to keep up and track of european/american military equipment but man way too many "communist" unit/equipment types yeesh!.

I would really like to be able to toggle a unit obsolete and be able to see it just like wmd.

An autosave function would also be appreciated, just spend 3 hours building germany to lose it due to a crash of the game. I got a windows screen to send the error to MS and the game was gonne... I just thought of saving before it crashed

Actually, that function is built into the game, there just isn't a way to set it in the menus.

[The following is officially "Modding", I haven' tested it yet at all]

If you open your /INI/options.ini file and search for autosaveturns: and make the value the number of days between autosaves, it should work.

... should...

player option "show obsolete/replace" Is it a future feature?

Seriously needed a bump for marking obsolete units invisible

There are just to many silly upgrades to units. Since we can't simply upgrade a unit (M1a2 to M1a3) we should at least not have to see the old ones if we don't want to. We really need this to reduce the clutter.

Why am I not surprised?

Actually I was wrong about obsolete, that works fine. It's just the replaced that don't get filtered out.

Well I'll be darn. Unchecking "show obsolete" does hide them. So once "show replaced" gets working and we get to another filter to remove the ones we don't want to see, then we will be golden.

Keep up the good work BG, this game has potential. If this game get's the damage control it needs soon enough you won't have people miss this diamond in the rough.
