@Pinky2950 If you like games like Elemental, you should at least check out the demo for Dominions III, which is the previous game made by this company. Tooooooons of depth.

@DHristovTV Because they are only two people instead of hundreds of people working on the game, maybe?

I haven’t and I now have a new reason not to: it has annoying fanboys.

@carltonbauheimer In any case, I never said “I want them to improve it”. They can perfectly argue that it’s ugly because they’d rather spend time on the gameplay, but saying it looks good is just ridiculous.

@carltonbauheimer Maybe some kind of ornate golden frame around the unit, or even still a square but only around the edge with a pulsating glow… or they could go 100% for the “cardboard counter look” like some Wargames. For god’s sake, they should just look at youtube videos of other strategy games and learn from that. Civ V in particular has a good interface, then there’s Wesnoth, Age of Wonders, HoMM series…

Anyways, not sure why I rant about an overpriced game I won’t be able to buy.

@isitanos I’ll agree that game could use work on the interface. It would add a lot more immersion if the GUI looked more thematic, or just polished. I’ve made that suggestion on some of the discussion threads where the beta testers are. We’ll see if anybody was paying attention; the game is STILL actively being worked on. As for the red squares: they have different colors to choose from, but what would serve the same purpose and somehow look better? Make a suggestion.

Playing games for the graphics is like watching porn for the story.
