[Suggestion] UI

from Elemental Forums

1) I cannot consistently seem to get the game to scroll when I move my mouse off the edge of the map. It did once, but it was sloooooow.

2) By habit, if I want to interact with someone, I right-click on them. Here I wind up attacking them! When I want to interact with a NPC, I have to move next to them and then click another button. Couldn't I at least get a message asking if I want to slaughter the innocent NPC? I feel like Lancelot in the wedding scene of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail"

Why can't I build city improvements on lands with trees? (at least it looks like trees)

1) Same here. I have to zoom out and then back in to move overland.

 

2) Just left-click on them and you interact. Remember, in a game, a right-click is always taking an action. left-click is simply finding out information or using a menu.

3) You can build a lumberyard on the tree tiles.

Yes, default speed is abnormally slow.

I know right click is usually an action. In this case the action I want is to talk to them. Usually that is the default for neutral character interaction, not attacking them. I am getting better at remembering, but some habits die hard.

#1 is definitely an issue. Scrolling with the mouse takes absolutely forever. Now mind you, I hate fast scrolling too, but I want something in the middle.

As mentioned above, this is adjustable from the game options screen.  For some reason, the default is abnormally slow, but you can change it.
