    XP progress indicator

    Subject:
    A UI element showing not just the veteran rank of a unit but also the relative XP required for the next level.

    Description:
    Instead of indicating merely the rank (veteran, elite, heroic etc.) of a unit, there is a UI element to indicate how much XP is required for the next level.

    Possible implementations depend on existing UI elements.
    • A second "health" bar. (Probably too clunky.)
    • A circular indicator around the regular rank icon.
    • An XP bar on each unit icon in the unit selection list.


    Positive Effect:
    Reveals the hidden stat XP.
    Less ambiguity when leveling units.

    Negative Effect:
    Possibly obstructing view or being unnoticeable.

    Media:
    Example of a circular indicator.

    Example of a linear indicator. (+Special/Mana bar)

    Example of a triangle indicator. (+Special/Mana bar)
