I do really hope that the Launch screen and UI will be reworked someday

I’ve always felt the UI of this game is a bit underwhelming, i mean, if you think about other games, as soon as you launch them you feel immersed in that world. When i launch aoe4 or play a match, i just don’t feel i’m in the middle ages.

I mean compare this to other stuff

This is from aoe 2


Starcraft 2 ranked screen

Warcraft 3 ranked screen

Warhammer 2 total war launch & campaign screen


For medieval stuff, this is Thrones of Britannia, look at those unit icons that remind medieval miniatures


Other cool unit icons from Attila total war, and its launch screen



I do really hope this game will someday have graphic and art syle improvements for its screens, unit icons and UI. It just doesn’t feel immersive, and that whole “blue and gold” concept, I don’t know, do you guys like it?

I’d like to hear your opinion on this topic

It’s odd because they keep adding seasonal artworks for the main menu, but the main menu’s microsoftesque blocky UI just prevents us from seeing it. I figure this to mean that they don’t actually have anyone working on UIX employed anymore and have to just deal with this really janky looking prototype main menu.

It isn’t like they are intentionally incompetent.

Look at one idea they had for main menus. Infintiely, INFINITELY better than the garbage we have now.

I guess it could use some “windows”.

I think it would be cool to have different themes and backgrounds.

ba-dom PIISSSSSH!!! xD

11 windows to be exact
