Option to switch back to the old design

34 votes

Hi, I love the game! But I personally find all the new graphics really distracting. I loved the simplicity of the older design. It would be awesome if there was an option to switch back to the simpler design (a la six months ago-ish). Thanks!

Hard to see or differentiate anything. Tone it done a bit PLEASE

Agreed, option to have minimalist "skin" would be ideal.

Yea, bit of an eye sore. Not to mention red and orange are far too close.

I do fully agree with the fellow player. Map colors now are destructing, 2.5d buildings the same. If possible, make at least the old graphics optional. Simplicity and functionality is what made the old interface enjoyable.

GO BACK TO THE OLD VISUALS.... THEY WERE MINIMALISTIC AND EASY ON THE EYES. ALSO I NOTICED PLAYERS PLAYED FAST LIKE SANIC BEFORE.

Yeah, it is terrible. I was so happy to play here, now it is impossible! The design is not playable. I quit untill the old design is back.

Yeah, I can't barely understand what is going on on the board. The old graphics were much better.

After recent changes (biggest villain - the numbers' font, little dots) the UI feels even worse than by the time the op posted.
It's really hard to see things, and not pleasant at all..

Over the past 2 months we did a lot of iterations on the new map making it better, thanks for all the feedback. Note that if you still don't like parts about the new map please open a suggestion with specific parts so I know what part to work on.

I love this game. It'd be great if the tile colors were desaturated so it's easier to see the settlements, cities, and roads. Desaturating tile colors by ~50% would really help the pieces much easier to differentiate from the tiles.

Thanks for listening!

It feels like the people making UI design changes don’t actually play the game. Here’s why:

1. Many players rely on the game log being viewable while looking at the map. The new update makes both chat and the game log a menu button, which then overlays over the screen. It’s horrible.
2. It’s difficult to tell who’s turn it is. It should be extremely obvious who’s turn it is
3. I should not have to push a down arrow to see how many roads/settlements my opponents have left. This should be always viewable at a glance, like in the real board game
4. The trade functionality is better now. That’s a positive
