New UI and features ideas

Age of Empires III: DE III - Discussion
41

There is no source but wishful thinking.

The only confirmed content is a new game mode that was announced months ago. Beyond that nothing is known and nothing is guaranteed.

Of courseā€¦Europe is also the only continent that is missing and that is not in the gameā€¦

Missing because initially aoe3 was centered in the Americas with the main European colonizers. In my personal opinion there are too many maps at this point we continue to put so much the game has become garbage

This UI has to be implemented

Hopefully the devs see this thread. One of the best suggestions for AOE 3 DE UI/UX.

What program did he do this with? Is it real or are they modified images?

I see this thread keep popping up from time to time. But nothing major has been done to include the social aspect of of a multiplayer game in Aoe3DE so far. So after a long time, I whipped up the mockups of relatively smaller features which I think should be easier to implement. Keep in mind, this is a rough representation. Devs could probably do a better job with the UI if they decide to implement any of these features.

  1. Visiting playersā€™ homecities: In the legacy game, you were able to ā€˜visitā€™ someoneā€™s homecities, look at their decks and copy them even outside of a lobby. It worked as a sort of ā€˜profileā€™. I think something like that can be reintroduced. One could click a players name to visit their HCs/profile.
    With increased HC customizations, it would be a good setup for players to showoff their HCs. And probably some exclusives like season awards can be displayed on it.

  2. Deck making screen: 2 words - Reordering decks!

@DayanG456 These were made using some game assets, and some time to kill on Inkscape.

Thatā€™s debatable just the sameā€¦what the game does bring is more varietyā€¦

The truth is that this interface is very goodā€¦

An idea is the button named as ā€˜Campaignā€™ as seen in the top screenshot and most certainly, the selections weā€™d be seeing are Story Mode, Arts of War, and Historical Battles considering that those are all campaigns. This would definitely be a useful feature of the main menu to have. New gametypes would also be a good idea because it would be nice to see more of those. Some examples of new gametypes that can be added are Regicide (Yes, Regicide should become playable on not just one map but other maps as well) and Sudden Death.

Wow, really nice. An interface like this is much more beautiful and cleaner than the current one and above all complete. We hope that the developers see it and start working on it slowly.

Our goal is to keep the thread alive so it doesnā€™t stay on the back burner so the developers (I hope) will see that the community wants an interface change oriented in this way.

This was the starting point of aoe3 as I preferred it, few civilizations, reduced game mechanics, few maps, therefore easier to memorize the statistics, the locations of the treasures of the maps, every characteristic and strategy of the civilizations calculated per second. Easier and faster to learn from this point of view even if the game itself is complex to play. Now there are so many civilizations and maps that it would take me years to learn the whole game right at the second and then I just get by on the knowledge I have by slowly learning about the new knowledge of the new civilizations and maps. Having said that, letā€™s close this parenthesis otherwise we lose the main point of the discussion.

Of course, I wouldnā€™t have said it betterā€¦

Really good concepts especially making home cities integrate with playerā€™s profiles. The reordering of decks is a must QoL feature. Also the default decks should not be deleted.

59

Yes,I donā€™t even memorize anything, since I know that later it can change then only game and alreadyā€¦

Of course, similar to how it happens with aoe onlineā€¦and about the default decks, some pros told me that they were very meh and that they were uselessā€¦
