A little detail that could improve gameplay a bit

Hi

In the Tactical mode, it could be useful if soldiers numbers (1-8 at the top) change colour or shade after a soldier has moved or performed an other action.

You mean if he doesn't have any free TUs left (excluding reserved ones), or if he did anything at all?

Assuming it were possible in the first place, why not both? Use yellow for soldiers that used some of their TUs and red for those that used all.

Sounds pretty easy to do to me, so why don't you add this to the feature request tracker?

Note, though, that the interface will eventually be changed, and the amount of soldiers will go beyond 10. As such I doubt the buttons will be there anymore, but that's something that requires more thought.

I'm not sure if it's already in, but if we have some hotkeys left...:
Currently you can "tab" to the next soldier (even if it sometimes doesn't work, couldn't find out when exactly yet). Why not add a "switch to next soldier with TU left"?

Or, how about just showing the number of TUs left (and other stats maybe) in the tool bar?
