Hi @LeHerosInconnu , showing a shadow for hexes which are unreachable is not user intuitive. Think about this playing the game for the first time. You will surely think that you unit can reach the position, unless you pay big attention to cursor type.

Hello @ihhub,

I agree to leave it the way it currently works in fheroes2. :)
Feel free to close the issue if everybody is okay with that.

Hello, @ihhub & @LeHerosInconnu .
In my personal point showing a shadow over obstacles could help players to count straight distance to a particular place better. But I don't find it too essential, since flyers, for instance, are able to fly over the whole battle screen, unlike in H3 and the distance for walking troops would be anyway tracked around the obstacles. Unless, we're going to implement "fly" spell, that would allow walking troops go through obstacles. 😉

In a way the "Fly" spell already exists, it's the "Teleport" spell. :)

I converted this to a discussion because none of the participants are very convinced about this change.
