Heads up everyone! Some relatively big sight changes are coming!
Currently, units reveal terrain in a square pattern instead of a circle. Although this "works," it has some undesirable behavior:
1) Units attack & detect stealthy units in a circle, as they should -- so the terrain revealed would poorly match detection and attack ranges.
2) Only sight values of 5, 9 and 15 mattered due to all of the rounding happening -- which was unintentional.
3) Enemies properly see in a circle, so your units revealing them in a square provided the player an unexpected advantage.
4) Also due to the rounding issues, it didn't matter where your unit was on a terrain "cell" -- it always revealed a certain number of terrain "cells" away.
This update fixes all of that by properly calculating terrain (and enemy) visibility in a circle. The "unfortunate" side effect is, units will reveal less terrain than they did before -- but it will behave much better.
This update also:
- Fixed pulldown menus not displaying selected values in the "Simple Contrast" UI theme
- Fixed Unit Identifiers when trying to show units with no letters in their names (e.g. "12345")
