Sorry about style, I'm not the great Topic Starter, but please share with me and forum and PDX what you think about mobile-looking UI, especially after Vic2?

Let me start - I agree with the need for a new UI, but now it looks very mobile and reminds Anno 1800, which does not suit the GLOBAL strategy such as Vic2.

I agree on that, UI looks a little bit old, but I'm sure it can be updated easily. UX already seems to figured things out quite nicely. I could suggest that bringing the guys who made the CK3 and ask them to revamp a bit could solve the problem without much work.

It reminds me of a mixture of Anno 1800 and Civilization 6...

It looks alright though I guess, menu never has been too big of an issue for me, I'm more interested in what those menus contain right now.

I prefer CK3 UI. I think the vic 3 UI take too much place on the screen and hide a big part of the map.

Edit: Also maybe I find the UI too static for a next gen grand strategy game, portrait moving like CK3 make the game really more alive.

Definately agree, for a game that is not going to be released anytime soon the UI is well situated. Since now they announced people will mention their points and whenever they bring in people behind closed doors they will also mention the good and the bad parts.

As of right now, from the released screenshot the map feels weird (maybe the angle?) but I would need to be in game and scroll around to get a feel for it ( ;) )

I hope they get rid of the CK3 3D pops. I understand that they may be doing so in Vic 3 to sell us flavor clothing or something, but I think it looks ugly and won't age well. I prefer the Pop icons like in IR or Vic2.

There is definitely something off about the UI/Map. Feels really low quality (pixelated?) for a new game.
It's pre-alpha. Map still WIP
