LH UI Community Suggestions Thread

from Elemental Forums

Hey folks.  I've got a few suggestions for the UI which I would like to see implemented for LH.  Post your suggestions below, and I'll do my best to add them to the OP.  If you particularly agree or disagree with any of the suggestions, I'll try to add a +/- rating next to each one indicating your opinion on that point.

Link to Darxim's FE UI Suggestions Thread.

Hotkeys / Keybindings

  • [ESC] should take me out of the Kingdom Info screen
  • +3 A shortcut dedicated to moving through idle cities only [jonmdewey]

Main Strategic UI

  • +2 Please provide notification (or option) when non-allied units (no NAP) enter my territory
  • +1 Please show the potential effect (what resources I will gain, type of improvement) of building an improvement on a wild resource when the resource is selected or moused-over
  • +8 Quickslots for strategic spells [Azunai_]
  • +3 Please provide a notification when an enemy casts a spell enhancement (curse) on one of my cities, and also a graphic on the HUD if possible. [abob101]
  • +1 The ability to customize the Empire Tree, especially which cities are displayed (only idle, only continuous producing, etc.) [Snowraven], or show idle cities at the top of the list [jonmdewey]
  • Add or move notifications of destroyed wild resource improvements and outposts to notification bar. [Snowraven]
  • +1 The ability to customize which groupings of notifications are shown [jonmdewey]
  • +1 The option to default notification groups to the collapsed state, and when collapsed show the number of sub-notifications [jonmdewey]
  • +1 Add a notification when a Wildland is cleared, and who cleared it. [jonmdewey]
  • Highlight currently selected city or unit in the Empire Tree [Trojasmic]
  • +1 On the Empire Tree, display an indicator of a unit's remaining movement status [ElanaAhova] and also show moves remaining of unit mouse over [iowausa]
  • +1 More information on unit desertion notification. [ampoliros5]
  • +5 Allow the selection of multiple units, preferably with a dynamic mana cost indicator, when casting strategic spells. [Snowraven]
  • +1 A 'Select All Units' button on the Main UI selected city element to select all currently stationed units in that city.  [Snowraven]
  • Remove the additional brightness from the base ZoC color line (this causes a lot of the colors to wash out and look the same.)
  • +4 Allow for two faction colors on the ZoC, one for the base line and another for the particle glow above it.  This would alleviate a lot of UI issues, especially with many factions in a single game.
  • Allow numbers on the Build info panel to be more than three digits. [Lokitaco]
  • Always show build/train turns remaining on the city HUD even if the name is truncated.
  • Increase the opacity of repetitive construction Icons (Produce Growth, Gildar, Research, Mana) to make them stand out better on the Empire Tree. [schattenjaeger]
  • Please stop telling me that units I have willfully disbanded "deserted". [schattenjaeger]
  • Please stop informing me that resources are in my ZoC when I don't have the necessary tech to exploit them. [schattenjaeger]
  • Enable an option to Raze wild resources after we have begun to exploit them (in the case we have to give up ground and want to deny the enemy resources - if I can't have them, you can't have them either). [schattenjaeger]

Tactical UI

  • +1 Damage potential indicator (bottom right corner of tactical UI when mousing over potential target) needs to update completely, especially when using some spells and abilities.
  • +3 An "Initiative Bucket" indicator, that fills as tactical combat ticks along, which graphically shows how initiative is being determined and affected by various game effects. [Schnorkde]
  • +1 Better highlighting of targets and target areas, including showing unit outlines through obstacles. [Snowraven]
  • Sort the after battle report from top to bottom: Sovereign, Champions by level (high to low), trained units by level (high to low) [sweatyboatman]
  • On the after battle report, in the xp gained indicator, show LEVEL UP! on the right side of the bar and keep it there instead of briefly flashing it, and/or otherwise highlight a unit which has leveled as a result of the battle.
  • +1 When mousing over an enemy unit, show Moves in the unit's info card. [Grogtank]
  • Please correct the error message displayed when certain AoE abilities (such as Rain of Arrows) will not allow you to cast if an ally is within their sphere of influence to say as much, rather than the current notification that it must target an enemy. [schattenjaeger]
  • More spell Quickslots in tactical combat. [schattenjaeger]
  • Please color the unit portaits in the initiative list in red and green for enemy and own units respectively so i can quickly see when the next enemy is getting a turn. [Schnorkde]
  • Make the battlefield unit highlight much stronger when hovering over the unit's portrait on the initiative list. [Schnorkde]
  • Enable keyboard scrolling on tactical map. [schattenjaeger]

General Functionality

  • +1 When a useable item (like a potion or a book) is selected in the trade or shop windows, the Equip button should change to a Use button, the Trade & Equip button should change to Trade & Use, and the Buy & Equip button should change to Buy & Use.
  • +4 Option to remove enchantments on a unit from within the unit's Unit Details screen [Azunai_]
  • +1 While looting items, change the "Equip" button action from auto-equip to instead open the Unit Details > Equipment screen, or at least add another button for that functionality. [Leo in WI]
  • +4 When the city leveling dialog appears, include a button linking to the city details screen [thadianaphena], and/or an option to defer city leveling [Snowraven], and center the city on the screen [jonmdewey]
  • Allow notes or flags to be attached to the game map [Limboldt]
  • +1 In the City List screen, remove (or make it optional to remove [schattenjaeger] the Villages/Towns/Fortesses/Conclaves headers so I can sort the entire list from top to bottom.  The icons next to the city's names are enough.
  • +1 In the City Details screen, please allow me to manipulate build/train queue, show stationed units, and add Build and Train buttons to the interface.
  • Come up with and display a faux-DPS rating (maybe simply Damage * Initiative) for more easily assessing damage output over time. [jonmdewey]
  • Keep a running notification log for the entire game. [sweatyboatman]
  • Larger icons on the hero selection screen [Trojasmic]
  • +1 On the hero recruitment screen, allow the player to view each hero's Unit Details screen prior to making a selection. [Darxim]
  • On the Foreign Relations screen, show how many troops each faction is controlling. [MM77]
  • Add an Equip button the the Trade and Shop screen for movement to the full Equipment screen. [Grogtank]
  • Better implementation of Road Building units; specifically allow for a toggle to auto-road-build on said units [FuzzyGold]
  • +1 Cutscenes...lots of cutscenes. [GFireflyE]
  • Fix keyboard scroll speed [schattenjaeger]

Tool-tips / Mouse-over Functionality

Game Options

  • +1 Add XP slider to the game setup options [StevenAus]
  • +1 Auto-focus on next idle city toggle [magnadrive]
  • Increase the variety of options for seeding things like resources and monsters (IE instead of "Few, Moderate, Abundant", something like "Few, Sub-par, Moderate, Extra, Abundant"). [schattenjaeger]

Sovereign / Faction Creation

Diplomacy

  • +1 Allow me to make counter-proposals when the AI contacts me with a potential trade.
  • +1 Give me more information about the current proposal when the AI contacts me with a potential trade.
  • +2 Allow negotiation for multiple treaties simultaneously [Trojasmic]
  • +3 Allow use of any resources to negotiate for treaties (Why are trade and treaties separated in the first place?)
  • During trade negotiations, allow me to remove an item that is on the table without having to cancel the entire trade and start over. [ampoliros5]
  • When the AI contacts you for any reason, like boasting about research, you should have the option to go to the diplomacy menu and trade with them. [DsRaider]
  • You should be able to easily switch between the Diplomacy screen and the Foreign Relations screen. [DsRaider]

Hiergamenon

  • +2 Keyword search function. [EffBie]
  • +1 List all prerequisites for all techs, spells, and improvements in the descriptions [ampoliros5]

I think this list'll get more attention than mine, so....

Add the ability to see the full stats and equipment of the two champions we have to choose between on the selection screen itself (or, you know, double-click on them to bring up the unit detail window).

It already does that dude.

No it doesn't.

It did in earlier beta versions because I did it.  They must have took it out in .75 for some reason.

I would LOVE a statement in the info screen, telling me the TOTAL number of how MANY troops a EMPIER has. :ninja:

 

P.S.  Reposting not sure if I was clear enough in what the info. pertain to. ( EMPIER ) O:)

Add an equip button in the trade and shop screens for going to the full equip window.

Reply #57 from Elemental Forums Top

When you hover over an enemy in tactical combat, the unit window on the lower right of the screen needs to show the enemy units move stat.

+1.

 

Personally, I would like to see a mechanism for creating custom characters and races via the menu, along with the suggestions for sovereigns, factions and troops.

Reply #59 from Elemental Forums Top

Allow the info on build panel to show 4 digit numbers.

Currently it cuts it if the number is > than 999:

 

Edit: adding suggestion.

Casting multiple spells in world view is way too clumsy, everytime you cast, you have to open spellbook and search through the pages.

Suggestion:

1. Allow for multiple casting, maybe keeping SHIFT (or whatever key) pressed. Usuful for buffing an entire group with the same spell, or the usual Destiny Insight spam on a hero

and/or

2. Add a world view spell bar, just like in combat view.

Suggestions:

#1 Have a switch that turns road building on|off so that we don't have to do move+click multiple times.

#2 When clicking Trade after obtaining loot, make that item the selected item.  I'm frequently trading the wrong item :(

I read it as:  Put your "Road Builder" unit into road builder mode so it auto-builds roads.  (or turn the mode off)

Save the changes you want to make in a text file, so that if it happens again, it will be easy to still update it easily.

Reply #66 from Elemental Forums Top


I would love WAY more one-screen cutscenes popping up and telling the story.

 

Cutscenes for random events.

Cutscenes for hero injuries.

Cutscenes cities falling or cities being conquered.

Cutscenes when starting important battles (like against wildland bossmen or faction sovereign encounters)

Cutscenes for meeting new factions

 

I would even say that the intro 'book' should be a cutscene instead....with the same information perhaps, but definately in the same format as the other cutscenes shown to date.

Hi All,

I've never played the first FE just got LH and I am loving it--so much that I thought to give some feedback to Stardock, which I've never done before for any game.  Please excuse my noob-ness and correct me when necessary :)

I'm not sure if this UI idea has been suggested, correct me if it has: 

I noticed that on the Main UI it shows the unit Moves as 2/2 or 0/2 for example, on the bottom left of the screen (Details).  But when you mouse over the unit on the map, it only shows the unit Moves as 2 or 3 (not 2/2 or 0/2).   If you notice HP is consistent across all sections-- Details and mouse over.  Even more, HP is shown as a graphical bar (green) on the Unit portrait--in both the Main and Tactical UI.

I was just thinking it would be nice to have the Moves displayed the same way as HP across all areas of the UI.  I get confused not knowing if all my moves are used up and I thought it would be more efficient to have it displayed as a colored bar in the Unit portrait in the Main UI---- so it would be like a blue bar above the green one.  So as you move the blue bar goes down and you can see it instantly without clicking or mouse-over.  Consistency across the whole UI.  And once you have many armies it would be easy to scan the Unit portraits.

Well, unfortunately the game does provide an indication for "moves unused."  If your army's portrait has a bright green ring around it, then that army has unused moves.  It is not very noticeable and I played several games before I saw it and apparently there are many veteran players who have yet to notice it judging from comments I see on this forum.

I am all for giving a movement points bar a +1.  The UI definitely needs a better way of informing the user of which armies have unused moves.

During trade negotiations, allow me to remove an item that is on the table without having to cancel the entire trade and start over.
