Someone really needs to sort out the Theatre Box button on the Info Screens UI.

The theatre box button currently takes the player to a pointless non-interactive screen that lists units in various TBs. Nobody uses this screen, I shouldn't think.

I can't tell you how frustrating this is to a new player who simply wants to see what's in their reserves and transfer units.

Of course the way to do this is to (counter intuitively) right click on the map, select Map Info (who on earth would expect that to access your off-map boxes, you would have to select an option relating to 'map info'????)

The button on the UI should provide this function also. As it stands it's as if the TB access system has been purposely designed to frustrate the new player!

Surely that's not a big problem to fix??!!

don't forget you can also use the letters on the jump map to access the TBs.

Yes - these are useful thanks Loki. I do use them.

Honestly, of course having now been playing for some weeks I can navigate the TB system and am comfortable with it. But I think we should never forget the experience of the game for newer players, and recognise that in places the current UI is just counter-intuitive.

Players coming to this game will expect (indeed are encouraged to expect) that pretty much everything you need to be able to achieve is accessible from the nice large buttons at the top of the screen. The TB info button is going to be pretty much every player's first port of call when they try to get to grips with the TB system. But they will all find that this button is completely redundant and gives you control over nothing.

It feels like to give the TB info button the functionality of pressing "R" on the mini map would be a very simple fix?
