MAIN SCREEN VIEW/INTERFACE

[tyrannicide]

Hi fellas,

First off, thanks for all the awesome work on this. The map editor is amazing and the new art is just first rate. This is just as addictive as the first Warlords Two, with the advantage of having the new cool hero types and "personalization." BRAVO!!!

I have a query regarding the main interface screen:

Right now, there are three rectangles with interface buttons floating on the sides of the main view. Is there any way that these buttons could be placed beneath the map view? This would reduce "clutter" on the main screen and also (more importantly) keep all the buttons together for easy clicking and army management. Right now, the main view is partially blocked by the three rectangles and you have to move your mouse back and forth across the screen a lot to fully manage all the menus. Could we put all of this in the same place, bottom left beneath the map? Of course, the three area could (and should) still be separated, but I think would really make the interface smooth and "user friendly."

Thanks again!

Tyrannicide,

I'm guessing you are playing in a low monitor resolution (1024x768 or 1280x1024).

Unfortunately there is no control over where stuff gets placed. On my 1900x1200 monitor at home I don't have the problem you describe. But at work with my browser in 1024x768 mode I do as the buttons get placed in spots they are not meant to be.

Piranha was telling me there isn't much he can do about this.

There are two settings, when you load the page it will look at your resolution and place the buttons. You can change lowres to highres in the url to move the buttons to the right. I might do something more about that. Main reason is to avoid that buttons are placed outside the screen which will happen if you have a low res in some browsers (or toolsbars) with highres.

Super. Thanks for the response, fellas. Again, it is just a great game.
Cheers,

I'll echo Tyran...this is awesome, so glad I came across this website (from wikipedia of Warlords of all places!).

Thanks for all your hard work and I can't wait for Hero items in Beta 4 (are you going to include items that make your hero invisible to your opponents?!?!?)
