Let us use the unit designer to upgrade troops!

Please make the changes that were part of Heavenfall's 'LargeUI' mod for Fallen Enchantress (Obviously the level-up screen change isn't relevant any longer):

...and 'Larger Unit Details' mod for LH:

Ideally they would be toggle-able.

Additional UI changes I'd like

• Broaden the degree of clothing options available for unit customization, at least for sovereigns.  No idea why the various restrictions exist for sovereigns (though I can understand the justification for regular units to keep them vaguely distinct per faction.)  It's apparently not for clipping reasons because they have clipping issues in the factions that can choose them already
• Make a way to clean up old unit designs from the game launcher/settings UI, without having to load the faction in question or manually delete the XML files.  Bonus points if it gives an easy way to work around Steam sync just pushing them back down to you again.
• Maybe this exists and I don't know how to do it, but giving some way of finding out the route that a unit would take to reach a destination without actually directing them to go there would be very helpful in working around the problems with units taking unexpected detours.
• More customization options are always appreciated (clothing, backgrounds, etc.) but definitely lower priority than usability enhancements.
• Some way to hide items from, highlight items in, or re-order the list of cities and units in the left of the main UI - by late game, you probably want to focus your efforts on a few of them, but it can be painful scrolling up and down the lists.  The Administration UI is better, but selecting units/cities there pops you back to the main UI, and then when you're done you have to go back and re-sort, etc. to find where you were in the Administration UI.  Note that this would really be a workaround - I think a re-thinking of this UI feature altogether would be better - but adding hiding, highlighting, or sorting the list may be easy whereas a total replacement is obviously not.

- Not sure if this falls under UI, but I would love a menu system off of the main menu where you can pre-select which units/heroes/sovereigns are to made available to yourself and to the AI, and to which AI, in a given game. Options to 'edit', 'disable' or 'delete' these aswell. Also an option to 'disable' the defaults if you don't want them to see play (deleting them may be unforgivably bad).

The system could be organized in a split screen tree-design.

• On the right hand side you can see which factions have access to which units/heros/sovereigns.  The tree can be expandable to help keep the work area clean. Faction -> Sovereign -> Units/Heroes. Each item could have a checkbox that would disable the availablity of said unit...if you did not want it in the next game.
• On the left hand side can be a list of all available units/heros/sovereigns....all editable. Perhaps an option to 'make copy' if you want to slightly change the design.
• Therefore, designing a unit could be done from here....and associating it with factions could be as simple as click and drag. (or an option to right-click and 'make available for all')

- As an aside, I'd love for the physical directory structure where the units/heros/sovereigns are placed to include another set of subdirectory to help organize those custom unit files even further into their factions. Trying to keep 200 units organized from one directory, which belongs to which faction, all in my head is a very painful and confusing prospect.

- When obtaining a new item there are currently only 2 options: Equip and Ok. Equip will equip the item without giving you the knowledge that the new item is better than the previous and then moves on to the next unit. Ok will do nothing and then moves on to the next unit. I offer up the suggestion that this menu to be expanded into 3 options:

• Equip: Opens the Equip screen so that you can make an informed decision as to whether you want to use the item obtained.
• Use: Consumes/Equips the item...as the original equip currently does. (players are smart enough to know that if they use chainmail....it isn't going to be consumed...and if they use healing potion...it will be consumed).
• Ok: As the original Ok.

I really really would like an option to be able to make informed decisions about items I pick up without having to go and hunt for my unit afterwards again.

- Toggled pedestrians for 32bit machines. I miss my little peeps.

Sine I'm not a coder of any kind, I have no idea what is 'reasonable'. I shall leave it that to you...since that term is subjective. 

I compiled this list a while ago.  Maybe some of the ideas in there could still be of some use to y'all?

Off the top of my head:

Keys:

R to build road

C (or something else) to continue quequed movement

A screen like the Kingdom Report but for an overview of Champions

Little things....

The selected unit pathing display should not be there when I am hovering over a button or element of the UI

When I select a city, I should always have a left/right arrow to scroll between cities.  If you were really good, the darn arrows would not jump and down just because the build lists are different.  I have my mouse over the arrows and would love to scroll two cities over.  Nope, the arrows moved out from under me.

Everybody is asking for hotkeys.  My request is a center screen on selected unit.

Double click on a city in the Govern display gets you to the build queue.

Want to see all details of champions I am recruiting.

In summary view of any one city, please include unrest level.

Leaving negotiations seems to take too many steps.  I'm done talking; I want a STOP TALKING NOW button.

I want to trade between champions if they are both in my territory.  Much too much fuss to bring them together, especially on big maps. 

Not sure if it is a UI element but I want to select and display any one character on the map in a large window for looks and inspection.  Also, for showing off to anyone looking over my shoulder.

N/A

N/A

All of this plus brighter movement squares with better contrast in the tactical battle screen. Oh...and being able to change my key bindings would be excellent.

Give me a +/- button on the minimap and tile info screen on the lower right and one on the faction power chart on the upper right (just like for units, cities, and quests).

A feature request UI wishlist. Would it be possible to add another generic unit type to the custom models.

Currently you support

<GenericUnitType_Male>

<GenericUnitType_Female>

<GenericUnitType_Other>

I would like to see

<GenericUnitType_Other2>

or better yet a male / female switch option that will transfer from Male / Female models and a GenericUnitType_Other Male / Female option.

Just on a wish list of additions to the UI (might be an improvement)
