Totally agree on blue/red. This is standard in most military games, including actual real-life war-gaming. Blue=Friendly, Red=Enemy.

Also, I do not think the resource panel should be horizontal either. It's much easier to take in vertical information when there are separate categories. There's a reason you almost never see tickboxes in software arranged horizontally. Bulleted lists are also never horizontally arranged. It would be ugly and hard to read. Note that they also used a serif rather than san-serif font for the income numbers. Sans-serif is much easier to read on computer screens.


Excellent points! Agree 100%

i never even noticed the use of serif fonts instead of sans-serif fonts...

even though i have to admit that it's a minor thing, i personally always prefered using sans-serif fonts (feels more legible to me; subjective feeling though).

nah man, you're absolutely right... I'm a graphic designer, I know what you mean. Just look at how many things in the world have Helvetica used on them. even things you see everyday but didnt know. Someone really should have clocked that on Relic's side. Hopefully they will take it on board.
