Sooo ... I have three of my knights using their fists in defiance against the Xeno hoard. They've dealt with them with lots of enthusiasm. Now they're trundling off to their next threat. However, because they have their fist selected, I can't tell just how much ammo is left in their guns. Have they got 1 round left, or is their ammo empty? Ask yourself Xeno ... do you feel lucky? It would be great to see, at a glance, just how much ammo is available. This can be displayed on the lower part of the HUD  It would mean you don't have to guess if you should hold back next round and shoot - or if you have no choice but to continue with the way of the exploding fist. |

slayernz - that extra field was lost in the HUD redesign. We can try to readd. #TA-1674

You could also just allow weapon swapping by tapping on the weapon icon on the unit you want to check ammo on. No new UI elements needed.

fortescue - cool idea, I've added it to that issue for consideration!

Sure, why not both things?  I already expected to be able to swap weapons when I tapped on the weapon icon and was surprised when I wasn't allowed to. Just seems natural to me. |

I'm afraid that won't work. You see, the game runs on a variety of touch screens and we do our best to adhere to the Android UX design. We've got to avoid anti-patterns like nested touch handlers because they do not scale across the many different devices we support. |

I'm a programmer by trade, but I have no love for my job making bank teller software in Visual .Net  I'd actually really like to work with independent developers like yourselves some time on mobile games that aren't garbage (basically, just yours, with a few exceptions like Hoplite and Adventuring Company, which everyone should check out!). |
