here's another random thought, if we are taking a deep dive on the battle window another thing that might be interesting is an enhanced low luck view. Since so many people play with LL and the predictability often leads to much more precise odds calculations that must be made in real-time in tight/large battles there could be some added value to be had there.

I would change "fire" with "attack" (both for the offensive and the defensive units). Then, I would change the dichotomy attack/defence with offence/defence, instead.

As a follow up I also have spent some time looking at our battle window wishing it could be clearer.

Below are 2 examples of what I think would be a much improved display.

the first is Low Luck

Second is Dice

My final thought or question on this was pertaining to the tendency of the window to display all the numbers of dice sides (1-12 in this example) . I included the same display in my examples. My question though... is it really necessary for the game to display boxes for numbers that have no units? Wouldn't it make much more sense for the window only to generate slots where there are units or a roll?

Ie. in my first example for Low luck.... the are units in the 2,3 and 4 as well as the remainder roll of 7. Would it not make it cleaner if all the other values with no combat involvement were not displayed visually? I don't know whether this is possible. But I think it would make it cleaner if only values with units or rolls in the current round of combat were displayed.

Anyways.... just throwing idea's out there.

I think this would be a huge improvement. If also allowing having a customized background (per map skin), it would start looking like an actual game.

If the image size in battle screen was adjustable, it would offer a quick fix. Maybe in game menu or in map. properties file.

Another helpful feature would be an auto window sizer for the battle screen window itself, so it only opens as large as it needs to in order to accommodate all images at whatever size they are.

But I do think full screen is maybe a bit too much. What about 75% windows in height and width? Then players can still, by looking at the background, see where in the world they are. I think players would really like to be able to move the window around a bit and maybe look at what threats are in the territory surroundings. Maybe they casualty-select on this basis.

Player would also still be able to see the right side of the map screen/the tabs with the list of battles to come. I think this is also important.
