What's going on with the faction selection UI?
I get what they were going for, but the layout makes simply zero sense as it is right now.
- This is the single worst placed Exit/Back button in any UI ever.
- The text blurb is more closely associated with the next/prev superfaction button above it than the portait next to it.
- Seriously, how are you supposed to at a glance read that the Unique Assets block relates to the Wrath/Reborn portaits? And that the block of icons in the lower middle section is common to both.
- The "superfaction" label (Advent) and power is hidden next to the back button. Nothing in the UI indicates that this is in fact the superfaction, because its label is no bigger than any other heading in the UI.
Imagine if you open this UI and don't know what TEC, Wrath, Advent, Unity, Reborn and Vasari is. Try making heads and tails of what any of this means then. It needs some more space and dividers, and the superfaction heading ńeeds to be bigger, and the buttons for other superfactions need to be clarly related to that superfaction header, not to anything else.
EDIT: To everyone saying, "it's like Rebellion"...it's not. Look: https://imgur.com/a/C47ZUtL
Literally every single point I am making is better done there:
- The superfaction name is clearly at the top, with its lore blurb.
- The buttons to other superfactions are clearly each pointing to a separate page.
- The two subfactions are clearly separate panels, each a coherent and distinct whole, related to but separate from the superfaction box. The "Select this" butons make it clear what you are selecting.
- There is no Exit button randomly in the middle of everything.
There is obviously less information, and the UI is not as pretty as the new one, but it is clearer.
