Agreed.  I've often thought that moving the unit settings to a more prominent place within the game would go a long way toward ensuring people are regularly checking and updating their settings.  When I give (gave) marshal orders, I made sure to include the unit setting key in all orders (ex: 1DL, 3AW).  That way, you only need to glance down at the status bar.  But to change them should probably only require one click-through, either down in the status bar as a direct link or as dropdown boxes on the Order page itself.

That's a good point. We now have them displayed all the time, it would be interesting if we could get it so you could actually change them from there. Change the "1AL" from just a text field to a set of three drop-downs where you could just change it. I like it.

Far too many critical items are buried two or three links deep.  Thoughts?

I tend to agree with this. If you have any more suggestions on how to rearrange things, I'd say start a new thread with some suggestions.
If at first you don't succeed, don't take up skydiving.
