A few UI suggestions

from Elemental Forums

1. I would very much like to have "tool tips" when resting my pointer over functions in the Options menu (Gameplay/Audio/Video). Some of them are not so obvious as to what they do.

 

2. I would LOVE to have the ability to have Events shown in FULL TEXT (see pic below) instead of having to rest our pointer to see what happened.

 

3. Shop/inventory: When in shops/trade it would be great to have the left hand side show the characters inventory so we can compare with what we have equipped vs shop/trade. Or at least an "currently equipped" window (ala W.O.W) when looking at stuff.

 

4. A slider to adjust the intensity of the Grid option (I want it to go higher!)

 

5. A log tab that shows us everything that has happened. This is great to go back and see just what an NPC said to you.

 

6. An "encountered creatures/monsters" list showing dmg types/def/health etc of creatures we have fought with. Helpful so we can get a clue as to what to expect before jumping into battle.

 

7. A Grid on the Map would be helpful!

 

8. Would be great to be able to group/stack units that are similar. Like here, I have 3 peasants...I don't need to see them all individually like this! It gets crowded when I have many units at a kingdom.

 

9. Would be helpful if the save games showed a picture of our sovereign instead of the now "kingdom" icon, as well as having his/her name in the save description (in red). Helpful when playing several games/sovereigns at a time.

#5 exists. Click the Crown then in the upper right corner you should see campaing and quest. Look there.

#7 I think you can turn this on in the options... not sure if i remember correctly though.

No, it does not contain the dialog, only shortened "notes" of what you are to do. And it does not always even show you that.

But I am talking about a log over ALL happenings. Even when you find loot etc.

Nope, only if you use "Cloth Map Only" option will you see a grid. Otherwise it just "fades" away when you zoom out.

Regarding  #8. Indeed its crowded ,had like 14-15 units in a row so all of them did not show at the same time.

So some stack option would be nice.

I have my Grid on map turned on at all times on the 3d map and is does not go away if I zoom to the cloth map and bake. However there is no grid on the cloth map which would be nice to have

What? You are contradicting yourself. First you say it does not go away if you zoom to the cloth, then you say there is no grid on the cloth map....
