Couple of suggestions/questions
Thanks for taking the time to provide feed back
What about the addition of a toppanel clock?
Yes it's trivial to do (the reason it's missing is that I simply did not need one: I have a clock / weather station right next to my monitor
)
All the yields display according to the format of "produced each turn" except Gold which still shows total first.
Good point, but does it need to change ?
Why have the total here when it is also on the right hand side?
Because the right hand one is not always there (city screen, turned off by option...)
Why the separation of Tourism from Culture on the toppanel? Tourism is the "other side of the coin" to Culture yet it is displayed at the other end of the toppanel.
1) philosophy is that things which can affect the world / can be traded are on the right 2) it provides better balance left / right for the decluttered top panel for large screens (see snapshot)
Is it possible to have the tooltip show the current Pantheon/Religion and its beliefs when mousing over the Faith yield icon? Would be a nice touch but I suspect a bit tricky.
Totally agree (I want to add it to the city banner and/or screen since they can each have they own), it's one of the many things I want to do but not the time. And it's not tricky at all, just copy the code from the religion popup (and clean it up
). With no performance impact since it's a tooltip type (only run upon mouse over).
Edit: not sure I actually understand what faith yield icon you are referring to. If it's the map plot help mouse over, it already does that: if you have a belief in the city, it shows the corresponding yield (basic in the game).
If you could acquire a belief, it shows you the yield bonus you could get from acquiring that belief.
Lastly, and this is a big one for me. The righthand side is for notifications, is it wise to keep the score of the civs and the city-state status fixed to that side?
On smaller screens, like mine, it all becomes a bit crowded. If they could be rotated 90 degrees and placed just under the toppanel, that would ease the congestion.
Yes, it's a bit crowded right now, although not so much on my 2560 monitor
. Ultimately the idea is that too many notifications are the problem (although it did get better with G&K and BNW): most of the notifications would be removed, instead the corresponding symbol on the right side civ list or left side city list (not yet implemented) would flash. For example a war kicks off: currently you get several notifications, instead the war icons would flash on the relevant civs & city states.
Edit: not sure I will ever find the time to do this, though, so if you find a precise location for a 90° rotated list to fit, and which works when the chat panel is deployed, then that's relatively easy to do (change the stack offset and growth direction
) but the score / gold / luxuries available for trade will have to go. Another option would be to move it to the left side in the infocorner (which already multiplexes so much stuff...)
