Probably not the object of the proposal, but I would love the option to use a dark UI, as the brighteness of the current one hurts my eyes (I have reduced vision due to being myopic) and I can't enjoy the game as it is
This was / is my biggest issue with Rome. And somewhat also HOI4 (it's not as bad but both have that a terrible sun glare off the ocean.)
I lowered my monitors brightness. There's no in game gamma setting. There's no contrast setting. Rome is pink or pastel rather than solid crimson! Egypt is Gray, the same color as impassible territory I think.
It's basically an unclear mess. No clarity.
The queued events box is annoying. Also annoying is that I can't scale to 100% on 1600x900.
Event popups are often annoying. They happen too often and it's micromanagement.
UI needs a total refresh. Make it more like Rome gold or even HOI4. TINY buttons that make sense. No fat circle buttons.
On another note I don't like the scorned family mechanic. It's just pointless micromanagement. Somebody dies or I get more requirements and need to reshuffle my offices for the hundredth time in the middle of a war.
Also buildings seem pointless / gamey. They should be hard limited in quantity or one per city etc. Or governors should control what gets built and when. So basically I shouldn't have to worry about building dozens of buildings for boosting stats.
Stats are too much the focus. It shouldn't be a game about gaming the numbers. Less stats more flavor.
AI sends their Navy out with 0 morale if you declare war and have ships on their coast line (I guess they couldn't afford full maintenance). That's not wise.
Half the map is taken by Celts, Iberians, and Germanics and they are just not fleshed out. The Germanics need some kind of defensive advantage or the AI just needs to keep the major powers out of that area and out of the baltic so they colonize Gaul, Dacia, Illyria, Africa, etc.
