VP Congress: Session 3, Proposal 10
Proposal Details:
Sort units by type first and then by name. Having the units in the build menu sorted into 4 categories in the following order:
Civilian, Land military, Naval military, Air.

Reason:
Sometimes you forget the name of the unit you want or have gotten a tech that replaces it with a different unit and it can take a while to find it. It would also make it easier to look at similar units when considering what to build if they are not at random places it the menu. This is not really a problem in the early game but late game you have a lot of available units to build. It is also important to make this an option so that it does not force the players who like the current fully alpabetical system to change to it.

Ha as an option in the options menu (like promotion icons) to sort units by type first and then by name. Having the units in the build menu sorted into 4 categories in the following order:

Are you talking about city production choices?

 

[GeneralAmadeus]

Are you talking about city production choices?

Yes. The units section in production gets rather big in later eras so having it sorted like this makes it easier to find what you are looking for.

Yes. The units section in production gets rather big in later eras so having it sorted like this makes it easier to find what you are looking for.

Especially if you have To the Glory of God. Authority's finisher, or certain ideology tenets.

Ugh, UI work. Good luck getting a sponsor

Is it difficult to get sponsors for UI work? I feel that what this mod needs most is some UI upgrades rather than changes to mechanics or balance.

Nah, gameplay changes are more interesting

As is skydiving without a parachute or fighting an axe murderer. Just might not be what is best for you.

 

[Anarcomu]

fighting an axe murderer

I personally wouldn't be that scared of fighting some one used to murder axes. After all, humans move a lot faster than axes so he wouldn't be that reactive I guess...

 

[CppMaster]

Yeah, most axes I know are tools...

 

[N.Core]

This idea is interesting and I might explore this as a modmod first.
UI stuff is kinda finicky...

 

[N.Core]

Apparently, it's not that hard.

I'll sponsor if you want this to be as it is, without a toggleable option on Options Menu.

I would be very happy if for this to get sponsored even without a toggleable option. I acctually thought about making that optional but forgot about it.

 

[N.Core]

Okay, amend it first (the OP still says "have as an option"), then I'll sponsor it.

Proposal amended.

 

[N.Core]

I can only do this for EUI, the vanilla UI is uncomprehensive to read. I don't even know where in the section of the vanilla UI code that decides the differences between units and buildings.

I think that is fine. I can not even remember when I last played without EUI.

Turned out it's doable.

 

[Recursive]

@N.Core You can implement the toggle option if it gets passed.
