A New View

With all these new features pilling up on our screen I came up with some ideas on cleaning up our screen. So let us take a look.

1. No changes to the experience bar.
2. Move PVP experience bar to the bottom and move the avatar panel back up to the top of the screen like it was pre-PVP. No real point, I just thought it looked nicer that way.
3. Premium Time Now Instead of showing days left, give you an exact count down like adventures.
4. Have 2 permanent boxes for adventures as part of the menu. Move the adventures you own from the star menu to here. Box is blank saying "go on an adventure" when one is not active. Click on the empty box to open the list of adventures you have. Instead of them being shown individually have them with a number on them saying how many you have. Perhaps when running an adventure have a button to view the adventures you have.
5. Send troops button for adventures. Clicking on an active adventure still brings up the same pop up menu it does now.
6. Buff menu. Keep all your buffs in here, organized like the building menu, further images to follow.
7. Building Menu. Add another tab with all the "misc" buildings from the star menu.
8. Specialist Menu. Brings up the star menu like specialist menu with your geologists and explorers.
9. Resource menu. Brings up the star menu like resource menu.
10. Economy overview. No change.
11. Trade Menu. No change.
12. Guild Tab. No change.
13. Mail box. No change.
14. Merchant. No Change.
15. Move chat menu to the right hand side, allowing it to be fully expanded without covering up and information.
16. Mayor's House no longer functions as a storehouse because who keeps fish and horses in their mansion? The collections tab is no moved to the provisions house. Hovering over the building brings up a pop up with your achievements and current level. Clicking no the house brings up your achievements tab. Each level you gain changes the appearance of the mayors house. Maybe have it act like a population building. 10 population capacity per level?
17. Notifications appear in the upper right, no longer coving up your top bar.
18. Setting button to choose up to 6 custom resources to be displayed on the top menu.

Generals are moved from the now non-existent star menu to the tavern. See This Link towards the end for more details on how that functions.

Expedition Water Castle is now a reward for reaching Level 30, rather than PVP level 2. Hovering over it shows your PVP Rank. Clicking on it brings up a full PVP overview. See below.

Remove the colony and rankings tab from the bottom bar and move them to the PVP overview, accessed by clicking on the water castle. Also put a pop up when you hover over the rankings tab informing you that it will open in a new window.

Buffs Moved from the now deleted star menu to a buff menu. Designed like the buildings menu, buffs are sorted by 2x, 3x, 4x, barracks, and other.
Each buff is only pictured once and will have the total quantity you have pictured. No need to stop and grab a new stack after every 25.



In the end, nothing really major here. It just seems with every new feature a new button is added and perhaps it is time to steam line things and clean up the screen and these are some thoughts I had. Pardon my lazy photo editing.
