Town + Castle font style?

Why is it now just a black background with plain white text? What happened to the OG colored text? I feel like it sorta clutters the map when you zoom out and sorta looks ugly IMO. I know it will most likely be modable but still.

Maybe they are just experimenting. My only problem with the first one is the way villages are just a little symbol.

The original was a hideous and busy mess. The new one is clean, clearly showing the information needed. Still room for improvement but a much better UI than the original. As a designer I can tell you that coloured text with black outlines is a big no-no haha

A black background is ugly imo i just asked around 4 of my friends which they think is better and they agreed with me. The colored literally shows you what faction each belongs to

But what about the clans? The icons show you the faction and the clan.
So ignoring the subjective opinions on what is good design, the new UI is objectively better as it’s showing you more information. Clan, faction and settlement name (Major and minor settlements defined by UI size) are all displayed and connected inside that black screen.
I presume you have seen gameplay of the map closer up where you will spend most of your time? The new system makes much more sense in this view.

That's why I'd zoom in and instantly see the flag on the walls? The color shows you the faction just as instantly as this one (actually it's slightly harder for me to look at each clan flag to see what nation they belong to). For the flag part I don't know how hard it will be to remember clans or how many there are but idk. What about when some houses join you? Then it will truly be confusing asf.

Honestly they should just make it an option or just make it moddable like mostly everything else.

I'm sure there will be an easy way for you to mod it back to the placeholder UI

They probably are just doing some experimenting, they are still in development :^)

Can someone tell this OP that the new one is better, than the preschooler giant coloured text thats been done in paint.
