[Freeciv-Dev] [patch #2958] Show hp in mouse over dialog over unit inside a city

2011-09-27 Thread David Lowe
Follow-up Comment #2, patch #2958 (project freeciv): My two cents is that while a player should not know the exact number of hit points for enemy units, we should have a vague idea if a unit is fresh or wounded. Perhaps a marker in green/yellow/red? We *do* need to know about the status of
