Default Re: Looking back at Dom1.....

The biggest problems I have with the Dom 2 is that it doesn't present alot of commonly needed information easily, and that it could with a few changes easily do so. This includes:

Provincial Military Intelligence
-How about an extra gui box for this in foreign provinces?

Scale information
-Show all of the information or none of it.

Unused leadership
-Those swords look nicer than the Dom1's bars, but are less usefull.

battle replay speed/information
-Replay speed of course
-A better summary, for example clickable icons for everyone that died
-summary from castle stormings
-link to battle message from military intelligence

Layout of province info
-Put information in colums
-Put similar information together

Nation Overview
-Allow setting non-movement orders here!
-Recruiting links would be great!
-Some information is missing, e.g. Dominion


On the other hand, I'm not so put off by the "triangle" distances mentioned by Alex, as I use keyboard shortcuts for repeated tasks, and having the buttons seperated makes them better at what I consider their main task: making all functionality easy to find.
