How Fallen Enchantress helped me in school

from Elemental Forums

I was flipping through my notes preparing for my final and thought I would post this. Here is a couple scans of my homework assignment from very early this year. I chose to do this excercise with Fallen Enchantress. We had to come up with new features and sketch an interface for it. This is by no means a suggestion for Stardock to do (unless, they actually want to :D) it was a quick exercise for my game design class.

This was for art class?

I'm thinking UI class.

Seeing this does remind me of one of the things I would like out of Governors.  Players should not be able to see the stats of units sitting in a city.  Governors should have an available ability that would give them the insight to discern what troops are stationed in a city as long as they have adjacency.

That would be a very bad design decision, the kind that leads to lots of complaints about "I built it, why can't I tell what its stats are?"

Makes sense, but it's really difficult to tell in the brief handdrawn outline form you used, above.

 

Best of luck, in any case.
