Imperator: Rome's UI rework puts more of the game into arm's reach
As we've reported, Imperator: Rome's upcoming major patch, Marius 2.0, is going to include an overhaul of the grand strategy game's clunky user interface. Paradox UX designer Jiroro has posted a new dev diary on the ongoing work on the menu system, along with several screenshots of the work-in-progress UI.
The coming overhaul isn't just about refreshing the menus' visuals; although it's definitely doing that, giving them a cleaner, less cluttered look. It's also adding some welcome functionality to several systems, putting more of what you want to do into convenient, sensible places.
For example, with the Marius 2.0 version of the UI, you'll be able to cancel or destroy buildings in the Macro Builder tool, simply by right-clicking on the territory while in the Macro Builder mode. This will be a godsend for players who like to do a bit of conquering (and who doesn't?), as it'll eliminate the tedious process of clicking each individual settlement to find the outdated buildings you've just taken over and replace them with new ones.
