I don't think the update for the game does much (I'm not talking about the bugfixes)

We need PHYSICAL changes to the sizes of the windows. This includes the "building" window which goes up too high on the screen and covers everything at the top of the screen. This includes the "completion" windows that won't let us open the commands or trade or farming villages because the "completion" command is in the way. We need TEXT on the icons on the bar at the bottom of the screen. This "scrolling" over to see what the icon is for is a pain in the ****. Better yet, it NEEDS to go back on the LEFT side of the screen where the TEXT was already there, easy to see, quick to click on. Everything is getting so slow, so time consuming, so aesthetically sloppy that the game is going downhill FAST. Why are you guys making the game HARDER to play? It was great the way it was. I love the sounds. Those are great. But changing the play screen is a mess. As a long-time player, it does not improve the game, it does not improve the quality of play, it does not make playing easier, it just complicates everything and makes everything extremely time-consuming now. No task is easy any more. Farming is not easy. You have to WAIT for the completion messages to clear FIRST. Building is not easy. The building screen is so BIG and blocks everything you need to glance at.

I think the design team is still sipping spiked eggnog from Christmas. Surely SOME thought needs to be put into all this.

I do appreciate what you are all saying, but this thread is for discussion of the update only, not what should or needs to be updated. Please keep it on topic here. I will pass your feelings along about the screen sizing, but I would also encourage you to look at your screen resolution as that might also be a fix for you.

I have had the problem of windows being put too high up and covering vital information as well.

On topic, I would like to see some more physical changes above. The Grepo team is not prioritizing things correctly. Like new sound effects? I am not really finding them a great addition rather than changing simple mechanics to improve game play. I do like the possible (let's see how it works before I say this for sure) performance improvement on the farming overview though. Much needed. Hopefully speed will increase.

"It was possible to see the god of the town you spied;"

One has to be able to know who the god is if the mystical units are visible. Some gods' mystical units appear and vanish, so the spy would not be able to catch that, but almost all of them are visible to the spy, so why shouldn't the spy be able to report all units seen there?

So clicking on simulate giving the god and seen units is not a bug in other words, [but seeing the god of a spied city with no mystical units (or the hidden mystical unit only) would be a bug excluding Devine Envoy, since that is shared with all gods so if only Devine Envoy then no god should be known...].

I agree. The sound doesn't really make the game better... unless you're obsessed with music and sounds.

Wow! Sounds! I have never seen sounds... for everything in the game! That's an amazing thing. Games like Grepolis might have sounds, but not sounds like these.

The game screen will center on the currently selected city's island.
For example you log in and have city A selected which is in ocean 44. Your game screen will have the island of city A in the center. You then change city to city G which is in ocean 45. The game screen will now be centered on the island of city G instead of city A.
