[1.1][Awesome Suggestion]Show a different colour for Soveriegns on the left side display

from Elemental Forums

Just had a great thought!  When trying to find where my Sovereign was, I had to search around for him.

So I thought, why not make the Sovereign and your Spouse two distinct coloured dots on the left hand display?  Instead of red (generic unit colour) why not yellow for Sovereign and green for Spouse?

Then you will be able to see at a glance exactly where your two most important units are.  Also, how about making Champions purple or some other colour to distinguish from red.

Now you can find everything much faster!

I agree, this is a good idea. To be honest I hope they redo the whole empire tree because it can get very messy very fast. Besides, it seems like SD just took the empire tree from Sins and slapped it on Elemental. Although there is nothing wrong with this, it feels and looks dated. It needs to look like it belongs in 2010 and not 2007 - both visually and functionally.

Take this one step further.  Whatever guy or city you're currently have selected needs to be highlighted in the pane on the left.  Been asking for this since Day 1.

I agree. Without such remedies, that left panel can be a pane in the ass.

I like this also in tactical battles it would really be nice if I could easily find my Sovereign and his spouse or spawn! Mine end up using similar looking armor and are hard to differentiate from the other troops  It could , and has ended badly for me when I get button happy!

Or have them as fixed icons at the top of the left side.

and also when you fortify a unit that you either minimize their icon or intirely remove it
