Hi,

This thread is to highlight your main issue with the UI. Main Issue is singular, so just one. For the ones of you who do not know, two us more than one.

So here my one:

Pop ups with decisions which are popping up right below your mouse cursor in just the millisecond you wanted to select a unit. Sometimes I have no idea what I just clicked. It should be possible to check the position of the mouse before popping up and move the popup to another position.

Agree. Way more common in the CK2 Interface for "important messages" though...
My suggestion: block the buttons of popups for 1 second or something, so you can't trash a popup by accident...

I still think the best solution is to make pop-ups appear behind the one you're viewing.

- Older pop-ups auto-expire sooner, so are more urgent on average
- Older pop-ups are the ones the player is presently viewing, and thus are the ones where the player will attempt to make a choice

In contrast, there is virtually no upside to making new pop-ups obstruct old ones.
