Describe the feature you'd like

CMDPete posted:

I was wondering what people think of having a new in-game UI element (perhaps above the power bar) which appears when units are selected. This would list all the units stacked by type e.g. 12x Cyborg Flamer 1x Construction Truck.

Describe why do you think it is needed imo this is a really good idea to get an easy overview of what you've selected.

In order not to take up additional UX real estate, we could perhaps tab the factory menu in the bottom center part. inspiration:

Some more inspiration, this time from CnC3: multiple-units-selected--cnc3

In a way this has been solved, with the introduction of group mappings taking that space within the UI with the unit selection count in a preview which continues to be developed further. I reckon this too could be closed off now but we can make note to look at giving more detail within the group icons by unit breakdown perhaps.
