![]() Here's a mockup, with a few other peeves highlighted: Either reset the view back to where it was before the automatic unit movement or making a sub-window (transport tycoon style) showing the currently active unit. Also it would be really nice to have preset queues since I often make the same 4-5 entries in the build queue for each new city.Īlso, why the devil are the science, revolution, and tax buttons located on the unit display in the bottom right? Group things together sensibly! Don't stick things somewhere for symmetry even though they do not belong there.Īlso I think it's time to realise that moving the entire view for automatically moving units is 1) disorientating 2) annoying and 3) distracting. I only got anywhere by guesswork - the unit queuing mechanism is completely unintuitive. In fact, I'd forget tooltips for the little buttons and instead have a region above the buttons where it immediately displays the name of the button under the cursor: It's like the Windows 98 start button all over again.Ī simple tip for the devs - the tooltips are too slow, making them more frustrating than helpful. It's little things like the options icon being in the top left corner but not being at the edge making it far harder to spot and hit than it should be. The icons are very small, making them awkward to hit with the mouse. Everything is iconized making most actions guesswork until you gain any familiarity. I'll start by saying that they really need to review most of the UI - it is a usability nightmare. Still, I remembered "set aifill=6" to give me some opposition although I couldn't work out how to make them tougher (and was too lazy to google) so played on easy AI. After manually starting and connecting to a localhost server, the "Server Settings" button was impotent. Loading it up, the "Start New Game" option is disabled. I checked out the SDL version and it is really looking nice. ![]() ![]() This one introduces a beginners storyline, which is a welcome addition to any non-expert drivers given the difficulty of the previous release! Lots of bug fixes, lots of new levels, and this game is definitely now one of the leading Free Software driving games available.Īlso of note is the 2.1-beta2 release of Freeciv. ![]()
