Give a way to know which farm a farmer is working on.

[eingousef]

Farms can recover each other, so you don't always know which farm a worker is working on.

My first idea was to display the border the farm when you select the worker, but as there's no absolute need to make this indication permanent, we could take inspiration of bug #1446 and make the farm glow when you select the worker (and this could apply to everything : select a woodcutter and the tree his working on glows, select a fighter and the unit he's been asked to attack glows, etc.)

What would be the benefit of this?

Replying to feneur:

What would be the benefit of this?

Good question. I've made a list of bugs and things that disturbed me in the game and it was on it. I don't remember why not knowing on which farm a farmer was working disturbed me. :/ Maybe because I wanted to dispatch my workers equally on different farms, or because I wanted to know if a farm was unoccupied.

Anyway, if nobody else wants it don't implement it.

Consider the "glowing target" proposal, though. It could be useful in combat to know which unit your cavalry swordsman is riding to if you don't remember (or if he's attacking automatically).

It’s better to say what you want to achieve instead of how you did it, as what you want to do might be possible already, but not the way you though.

Maybe because I wanted to dispatch my workers equally on different farms, or because I wanted to know if a farm was unoccupied.

This is possible already. When you select a farm (or a bush, or any other resource), you can see how many workers are on it, and how many can be at the same time.

It could be useful in combat to know which unit your cavalry swordsman is riding to if you don't remember (or if he's attacking automatically).

Well, I don’t think knowing which unit your unit is attacking is hard at all :S I mean, you can see your unit hitting it, or pointing at it while shooting.
