Author Topic:   Current unit flashing on the map

I'm always getting distracted during a turn and scrolling around the map sorting out trouble, it'd be cool if the currently acive unit appeared as a flashing pixel on the map so I could click on it to get back to where I was.

I agree. What I do instead as a quickfix to recentre is press V twice.

Press C to center the current unit on your screen.

Or... for the keyboard challenged and mouse adept, right click on empty tile, then left click the choice "center on active unit."

I think perhaps I should have mentioned that I knew that there were keyboard/mouse ways to do this already.
I tend to like navigating using the mouse and the map so I thought this would be a nice addition rather than a missing feature.
