Show number of Towns in "Towns list"

Post by ebla71 »

Just wanted to take this suggestion overhere as a small but very useful addition to the "Towns list":

I don't know. My counting way is very time-consuming, by using Town List in alphabetical order, dragging the window to the bottom, firstly counting how many towns in one screen, then counting how many screens...
I fully agree - in particular for very large real-world scenarios, it would be super-helpful if the number of towns would be shown at the bottom of the "Towns" list together with the "World population", either in one line or two lines - and both in the Scenario editor as well as the actual running game.

You can use CityMania patchpack, it shows the total number of towns in the town directory header (num_cities/num_all_towns):

I can definitely imagine that this kind of information could be useful. The question is how much of a priority it is and will there be a willingness to do it.
