Status: offline 		Even if all the upgrades are visually represented in the team at racing time, there have been multiple requests about displaying upgrades alongside the rest of the contextual team info.
So, tgb give me this idea:


Like it? What do you think?

Could we get an On/Off toggle for the experienced ones who like to keep it clean (as it is now)? I could see myself using this for awhile but eventually taking the training wheels off once (if) the graphical indications are all memorized.

Status: offline 		I like this suggestion. I cannot remember what the different shades of color mean, and they are way too subtle in my opinion.

Also, in the same tooltip, please show how many victories the Auriga has. I can never remember who the top dogs are from the City screen, and I want to know during the race so I can try to take them out!

another option I am considering is to differentiate leaders from "normal" aurigas

Status: offline 		I bought a horse with 2 SPEED and 1 ENDURANCE.
I also have 1 SPEED 2 ENDURANCE horses on my team, but I put the faster ones to the Auriga I'm starting at the race.

Yet I keep seeing the wrong horses getting started. I am significantly slower than other chariots that have slower stats than me, so I'm sure it must be the other horses.

The same is true for other chariots as well though, their stats and appearance (horse colours) seem to be swapped too.

Status: offline 		It is just a graphic glitch that shows one drop instead of one arrow for the dark grey horse and the opposite for the light grey horse. It does not affect gameplay.

Status: offline 		Aren't the hammer and lightning icons also switched on the tooltip? In my current game, it looks like I have a "medium" chariot -- a size upgrade, no quality upgrade, so the tooltip should be a hammer. But I see a lightning icon on my tooltip.

Status: offline 		Subjectively, it does seem that the horses are slower than expected. Logically that wouldn't make sense because showing the stats was added in the update, so it shouldn't affect the race code.
