Will you have a different design team for the next game?

When your programmers had a certification of microsoft certified professional they would have been tought about minimum requirements for an UI. At least I was, when I passed this 20 years ago. This were five points if I remember correctly. I can tell a good UI from a bad one, because I was certified...

UI design is difficult... and this one got it very wrong. Also dirver compatability issues... When I was in the beta, there were no problems with the graphics getting black when hitting the edges of the map... Someone broke it later... But however I only stayed in the early versions, because I even ...

I can not see the numbers in the city screen other than in Empire I can not see the legder either too small or if I enlarge it just cuts the right side. I can not move the map (worst in the pick up screen) to the edge or it is game over as black screen. Even playing one of the big powers I can not f...

I tried a couple of hours more. But the UI sucks, the mechanics are not intuitive, the starting positions suck, all nations consume much more gold and manpower than they have and there is no clear intuitive way to deal with it. Maybe dismantle army? So after a couple of turns the armies vanish... Co...

And where does it come from?

What are all the income sources for Authority in this game?

Thats the new strat compared to Empires. In Empires you wanted to grow and build up ASAP to 16-20 Population and then throw everyone on gold. This is a pretty novice strategy for Empires... The best long term strategy is to build infrastructure buildings (neglecting food, culture and gold) and max ...

You wont convince me. I bought the game only because I have played so much of Empire and wanted to support the company making something of this kind. But still I really hate every changed they made. It is so much worse. And when people tell you that a downgrade is magnificient. Maybe Slitherine will...

Empire was... So a mayor downgrade here too.

I do not know... Probably someone thought that this would be fun for the players.

I do not know... Take a good wargames with some things that could be improved and make it into a workerplacement game, where you are restraint to do anything but wait till you build up. You can not recruit... You can build an army composition based on what is good in combat. Empire had battles. Even...

Why give the big kingdoms thousands of Legacy to start with?
That is really bad for multiplayer.

You can not watch the ledger completly by scaling up. A right left slider is missing. Thus you only see part of the Authority view for example.

Not a good solution. Either having a readable font size or have the ingame information...

Ok, the ledger is using the default font hand has no right left sliders. So you either make everything very small to be able to see the Authority stuff and have problems looking at everything else. Or you make it decently large and can not see half of the Ledger tables What a crap system. None teste...

there is a font.txt in the system subfolder of the game. About doubaling the sizes make good sence. Most UI elements do not resize to the font. And many have sliders to read the text. The worst thing, is that the Legger and Diplomacy windows are not linked to any obvious font group and prevent seein...

Can anyone give a clear description: Where someone gets Authority from (all sources). How it is spend (all options) And how it affects the aspects of the game, like income, loyality and so on. With the above description is all vague and a key mechanic of a game should be explained in detail and just...

How get the UI to a readable size?

Needs to be double and a better readable font.

So strategy in this game is to pick the strongest one compared to the neigbors and play 100reds of turns to get some more troops.

Lame...

Is there a way to get numbers and text to about the double size at which the game is delivered and can there be an easy readable font in order to make it more accessable (or give some accessibilty)? The selection screen in main campaign where you pick the nation is bugged. When I scroll or zoom for ...

Could you please be more elaborate in your praise. I am playing Empires for years and see no single improvement in this game. But of course I left the beta, because I really hated the changes. So what is better? The region UI for example now has two columns which makes is harder to use. Downgrade. T...
