Why do units light up?

[war is hell]

its a visual aid so that you can see whom you are selecting. it helps a lot when you've got large armies of the same type of unit. even still it helps at all times. when i zoom in to watch the battle I deselect and watch the carnage unfold.

If you want rid of this you are silly.

What's silly is this is the only thing you could contribute to the thread. Why don't you reserve such drivel for 4chan or another cesspool?

I know what its for. Double clicking takes me directly to the unit. I don't need the "illumination special ability " in order to play. I wanted to turn it off and couldn't figure out how.

Now I know why this community is so small.

I'll ignore you from here on.
