Let's talk UI

[Canadian Bluebeer]

all of the lenses toggle off once you select a unit I believe.

Well, swapping policies at the right time is a gameplay thing, what I'm saying is that the policy screen is poorly designed to support that particular gameplay. It's not "gameplay" to force the user to navigate in and out of screens, to figure out what the best policy cards to use are, or to read the details of every card to find the one you are looking for when some better iconography could have made it much much easier.

That is a good point.

2: The basic unit list is a joke. All you can do is select a unit from it. CQUI, you can sort them by unit, scroll much easier rather than that teeny window.
2a) you cannot sort them, which is the big issue. they are a jumble.
4) the lenses are what give you various filters on the map. appeal, continents etc. bunch more in cqui
6) she pretty much covered it.

If you haven't used CQUI lately, you may want to take a look at it for a game or two.

btw, just the new city attack reminder makes it worthwhile.

2. I'm pretty sure (as I said already, I don't use it a lot myself) that they are already sorted on unit type. You can't sort it on something else, but I feel like there isn't that much else to sort units on. If you're looking for which units you can upgrade, that's tech dependent, so it's a full unit type at once, and if units get promoted you get a message, and they are always active units, so you also cycle through them anyways.
4. But which lenses does CQUI add that you think are important?

Honestly, you did not really want to defend the current state of UI, but in fact you only want to get everyone here to write down their problems with the current UI.

I guess that might be part of it as well... Part of me also just wanted to voice something positive about the UI, because I've loved it while using it, and I'm not seeing that from other people, so I figured I'd make a thread myself.
