Comments about the new UI in A11:

• If I have a unit selected, I can't tell what type of attack it has (ranged, melee, charge). Sometimes the tooltip description gives a hint, often it doesn't. The attack/armor stats tooltip should mention at least the primary attack type of the unit.
  
• The unit rank tooltip is not clear, it currently says e.g. "Basic Rank" which is not clear if the rank is "Basic" or if it's showing the basic rank, whatever that might be. This would be more consistent and clear: "Rank: Basic"
  
• Would be nice to see the AI name in-game. "Player 2" doesn't tell me anything about which AI I'm playing There may be value to seeing both username/AI name and the player name which are subtly different concepts.

I think Rank names could be better. e.g. Rank 1: Peasant, Rank 2: Soldier, Rank 3: Veteran. What say?

I like that, it gives more personality to the ranks and somewhat reflects how their role changes with experience
