I used different font Andrej's design was a good start. IMHO, the subwindow isn't neccessary. You can add all information in the existing unit info dialog.

Attack and defence modifiers are shown next to the attack strengths and defence value. The movement cost can be drawn in the terrain tiles for each terrain class. > * we don't need terrain names.

How many terrain types (classes) do exist? Do they differ in apperance or in attributes (movement cost) ? Right now, there is no Terrain info dialog. When you right-click a tile on the map, you cannot get any information. You have to move a unit on a tile to scout the area. Perhaps you could use the unit info dialog for that purpose. Unit title would become the terain name. Movement, attack, defence values would be schown as "-", modifiers are still displayed as "+/- x %". Finally the terrain class with the movement cost could be shown. All other terrain classes would be crossed out. > * one question this solution still doesn't answer is "Can this > unit walk on that hex?" unless the hex is one of the major types > or the unit is already standing on it. A simple way is to draw a red bar over the tile (=impassable). CU Marko
