UI Concept Suggestion

[budd]

i really like the realistic looking maps also, if the reading of the elevations gets worked out they would be great to play on. I like the UI also but only if you can minimize things, Don't know why more UI designs dont do this, individual boxes that you can minimize out of the way.

Budd, part of our UI overhaul in 2.1 is to have more of the info dialogs 1) Moveable - so you can place them where you want, like another screen and 2) Expandable/collapsible - so you can pop things open when needed and have them roll up with just critical info when not open. We are hoping to make the interface more open to how the user wants to use it during orders and resolution.

As for maps, we will standardize on the maps William is doing now for Southern Storm which will be very similar in looks to the Player's Edition maps, but adding in a number of new things from the new game engine version.

Sounds good, anything coming up before years end? expansions?

You should create a mapping tutorial. This is such a wonderful, and realistic looking map.
