I like where it looks to be going, but just wondering if there is any roadmap for future developments like there was with Heinlein.. etc?

Specifically the interface is really ugly. the one issue I immediately noticed on return was the 3 or 4 buttons at the top... like Situation Log etc...
Then the "More" button with is a nested list of like 6 other buttons is a hideous layout. I would also expect to see on those buttons on the top bar (perhaps with the ability to minimize them into "more" if you're familiar with the hotkeys. Which I dont tend to use yet other than spacebar.)

It gave me a horrible impression playing the game, along with several other poor UI experiences (like floating map views, the ugly outliner etc) ... So are there any plans to revamp the UI?

I'd like to play this more, but the game's UI for me just feels too clunky (even more so now than release) compared to the other beautiful visuals like the art assets. Still love EU4 though! Cheers.

I think road map is something like this: add some purging, add pops eating each over, add refugees, add more purging. Then UI improvement. Maybe.

I've read a few dev diaries and they all appeared to give specifics piecemeal on a new feature, more DLC or odd things happening with noone being in the Pdx office. I've yet to read a comprehensive 1.5 patch feature list, or what is potentially coming in 1.6 or further down the road... I admit to not going through every dev post and only skimming most diary subjects...which is why I was asking here for info or a pointer to that info if it exists in summary from those better informed or more interested in staying informed about this game.

Thanks anyway.

Read the dev diaries. That's what they're for.
There's even one that has a roadmap for the next 3 patches or so.
