Enemy Unit Identification

Post by Livius »

Hi there,

I've installed the Windows version...

When playing the game, I see an enemy unit but I'm unable to immediately and automatically identify the enemy unit. I have to look up the unit online, which is rather tedious.

Maybe I'm missing something... Please let me know how to ID an enemy unit in game.

Thanks, Livius

Also <alt> left click if you have a cheap mouse you don't want to break.

Freeciv needs a tutorial on how to use the client. This question has come up before so I should repeat an important comment:
The menu item "help" has a section on "controls" i.e kbd shortcuts. Worth a read.
