Alt (or other key) to reveal health petals of all creatures on screen #3643

QOL enhancement that would allow you to find that one half dead creature in a workshop filled with 30 creatures.

So petals would always show when creature is at low health? A little worried about thought bubble clutter similar to #3394

Yes, but only when hurt enough for the creatures to do something about it. We'll try it and see if people notice and complain.

So the low health feature works great with no clutter at a creature status size of 20. But I still find myself wanting a feature to reveal the health flowers of all creatures on screen in the following scenarios:

  1. To check if all creatures are at 100% health before initiating a tough battle. Currently have to drop them all in the lair while locking out work rooms or manually hovering over as many of them as you can.
  2. To monitor levels of all creatures in the Training Room on maps where gold is limited and I want to limit creature level. The same on maps where there's access to multiple increase level specials. Currently the only way is using the tiny map preview box or manually hovering over each creature while they're moving around.
  3. To find that one Level 1 troll that slipped through and is in the workshop instead of training. Currently you can shift+click creature icon but it would be nice to do this visually .
