Streamlining the Worker Construction system

[CrazyGDIfan123`]

would just get terribly confusing with several workers

- A number tag on the dozer itself when viewed onscreen: The player has the toggle option to make them appear all the time or not (when not selected).

Good idea, something like this? :

Good idea, something like this? :

Might need somthing else besides numbers(would get in the way of grouping numbers), maybe letters? abcdefg....

[hellodean]

letters sounds like a good work around

Hmm you're right.
But now that I think of it both letters and numbers would have the effect that new players could get confused thinking they would be hotkeys.
So maybe something like W1, W2, W3, etc instead? W standing for Worker.

Yeah that works too.

@PizzaAtomica
Yep, like that. And your alternate idea from Commander32's idea might work too for further distinction from the normal group number on combat units.

Wow, didn't noticed that there was a third Dozer behind the building lol.

Oh I gotta say the toggle option is for the players sanity's sake in case they might complain that the numbers are 'detracting them from the immersion of the game' ^^

actually i think there is yet another crane, part of an arm on the other side just next to the bit where the building gets shorter
making it 3 building it

Updated the first post with the additional ideas.

I've never had a problem with this because I always pressed the "next idle worker" button. The player should also be able to use multiple dozers to construct a building faster. I was frustrated by Generals' one dozer/worker per structure system. Urggh.
