Hi, a small graphic mod so that it is better noticed when there is more than one counter in a hex, I did it for me but I share them in case anyone is interested.

Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/5f0qxnmpsyhs11i/Little_Mod.rar/file

Unzip in the main folder and replace.

Excuse my english

That's a coincidence! Just earlier today I was thinking I should post exactly this as a suggestion on the forums!
I do not know if it's still clear with 16 units in your mod, but something (maybe a changing icon) to make it more clear how many there are at a glance would be great.

Don't know how the dev feels about mods but it would be great if it could be officially solved as well in any case.

There is already a game option for showing more than one counter in a hex, although it does reduce the size of the counters to do so.

That doesn't stop this mod from being a very good improvement over the base mode. All it does is make the borders of the unit counters more visible.

This is a way better solution!

I like this! Thank you for sharing.

I've seen the option in-game for displaying more than one counter per hex but it is at the cost of reducing the size of the counters. Makes it difficult for my old eyes to see. This mod is an elegant solution for those with aged/poor eyesight.

Big and small counter options were not very satisfying for my needs, this is helping

Hi @nadia911,

We have created a "Graphic Mod" sub forum here: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tt.asp?forumid=1782

If you wish, you can move this thread there so that everyone interested in this and others mods could have a single hub where to find them.

Kudos for the great work btw :)
