Summary | 0011797: Add an "Objectives" button near the "Message Log" | ||||
Description | The automatically updated objectives are a crucial demystifier for AI War's complex gameplay. Both new and experienced players rely on their "Objectives" a lot, but it's both hidden and more than one click away. Currently, you have to click on "Message Log," then "Objectives." I propose adding an "Objectives" button to the interface, as follows: Best option: have an "Objectives" button right next to "Message Log." The text color for objectives is light green. Other options, pick n choose: - "Objectives" can be shortened to "Obj" for more room (not recommended, since "Obj" can be mistaken for "Object." Perhaps change to "To Do?" Although that is not very militaristic.) - "Message Log" can be shortened to "Log" for more room - The two buttons can be stacked rather than side-to-side - "Objectives" can replace the "Message Log" button - "Objectives" is colored light green to further differentiate from the rest of the UI. Bonus: - "Objectives" text turns red when there are new, unseen objectives. - "Objectives" button flashes twice when a new objective is added, and stays red. - New objectives are highlighted in the objectives screen. | ||||

Huge support for this. Very newb-friendly, and besides 90% of the time I'm clicking on Message Log it's because I want the objectives tab. |
