All you need is a way to measure distance by clicking on two points!  :D

True, but I've discovered it gets a little difficult when your units are a couple of screens away.

I think you just make a big long ruler and then rotate it to the angle you want , the move it, and rightclick to move map while your holding it, did you know you can ZOOM in and out, also, switch on centre dots, so you can see where to select the ruler from

bbmike

Not a bad idea. You could create several measuring rulers for different levels of zoom. You would have to be careful to keep everything to scale but it should work.

I just stretched the ruler image for a quick example, but the app did not scale it I did it in a paint program, then I added it as a chit, I zoomed out

Ok bb, I added a measure as you suggested, and set a scale of 20pixels per CM, I made the rulers to scale, and added a metre ruler too. but your still free to use a different scale, zooming auto scales up and down too. I put you in the credits too :) it was a really good suggestion bb, you have a good knowledge of game mechanics
