Why is it poor software? Apart from the message interface, which needs improving, the software is easy to use and nice to look at. It also does what it says on the tin. What more do you want?

Dom2 is a great game but there are many UI problems and aesthetics & graphics quality are poor.
* Unable to use hotkeys to scroll popup lists (forced to use mouse) and unable to sort on F1 nation screen (like you can do in the Civ series).
* Right-click on province instead of left-click is unintuitive but not too bad once you get used to it.
* Random map generator, though I'm working on one myself and I know there exists a random map generator. The maps that come with the game arn't all that great IMV. Still, a superior approach would be one built into the game and "generated on the fly".
* Better font - yeah, it's probably just personal taste & all.
* Need to incorporate a built-in help facility - Dom-o-pedia or something to display the battle mechanics and other stuff (though some stuff like spells are accessable...).
