Hi, is there a way to directly display hexes with mud on the map rather than having to read the pop-up hex information ?

thx

OK I found it. I didn't noticed it slightly colors the mud hexes in brown. Not very easy to distinguish mud hexes imho.

This is probably my biggest gripe in an otherwise fantastic game. Is there no other way to display ground conditions as I seriously can't see the difference between mud/clear.

If you hover to the hex with your mouse it will show you the ground condition in the pop up.

The OP noted as such, but mousing over an entire area is a pain. We should be able to glance at the map and see the mud.

The map is very beatiful, but reading information of the terrain and weather is not easy, even more when you have counters on the hexes and the enemy hexes overlay is activated.

The hexes do change based on water level (e.g. turning into light mud, heavy mud, snow, etc), but it's hard to distinguish until you get more experience and familiarity with it. A suggestion is to check the weather map which gives you a high level overview of the current conditions and then compare versus how the hexes look. After I did that for a bit I developed a better eye for learning what the mud/snow hexes look like.

To the poster above, you can press "T" (off top of my head I think that's the hotkey) to toggle unit visibility so you can see terrain hex below.

Maybe someone will develop a mod to better display mud hexes ?
