You can assign stratagems to HQ commanders directly from their bottom panel by pressing the 'STRAT' button there.

But when I want to assign priests to the units that are going to enter battle, I have to click the 'Unit Admin' button to see its designation, like '5th infantry battalion', then I must go to the Stratagem panel to find this unit in the list.

Showing its name there, for instance in the mouse-over that now only says: 'selected unit', would save you one external lookup in the process of assigning the priest. And I like knowing the names of individual units, and they have one.

Alternatively, adding a STRAT button in the Unit Admin form would also make the targetted assignment of a priest much easier.

It would be a little QoL improvement, for when Vic has some spare time :-)

Please disregard. I had white chosen as the colour for my unit counters, so I didn't see the unit designation number in the upper right corner.

So what remains is a low priority luxury request to use a contrasting colour for such counter texts.

You can assign priests using the Strat button too. Select a unit, make sure its portrait is selected, press Strat, then select the Unit Stratagem that you want to add to the unit.
