Strategic Icons!


Just because your troops are tiny, it doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to see them from far away!


Strategic icons show up over units once you reach a certain distance away.  This means that even across the battlefield, you can see your faraway units and command them as needed.  This is particularly important in Micro Annihilation, as even though the battlefields are only 25-100 meters wide, from the perspective of a tiny military force, that's a huge distance!

The symbols are unique for each type of unit, and the type of weapon they use:

  • Diamond frame: ground vehicle.
  • Truncated pyramid frame: hovering aircraft.
  • + sign: direct fire.
  • | sign: missile launcher.  Watch out for that splash damage!
  • + composed of dots: light direct fire.

What is your favorite game that used strategic icons?
