Reforms screen

[bba525]

The biggest problem I am having with the reforms is that of the ones that are locked. I can hover over a locked reform and get a pop-up of its characteristics, including what building is necessary to unlock it.

What makes it difficult for me is that all I can see about the building is what it looks like. So I need to exit the reforms screen, open the building browser and rummage through it looking for a match for the picture displayed in the reforms screen. Of course by then I've forgotten what that picture looked like, and there are a bunch of available buildings, and a lot of them look almost the same. So I spend a lot of time paging back and forth, trying to find the right one.

Am I missing some simple trick here?

yes, you can still click on a locked reform and it'll leave it on the screen so you can hover over the buildings on the left side

You can also click the requirement whatever your trying to build and it displays the reforms you need to unlock it as well.

This doesn't work, at least for me. It disappears even after clicking.

But that's the problem. I don't know what I need to build to unlock the reform.

You should be able to select the locked reform you want to examine by left clicking on it, that should select the reform and pin the details screen in place so you can mouse over any additional information, such as details of units to be unlocked, buildings, and the requirements. Mousing over the prerequisite buildings should not only tell you the name but I think you can click on it and it should show you in the building browser.

Once you have clicked on the reform, move the mouse over the explanation. It will switch to other reforms as your mouse passes over them, but when you get to the far right of the screen the selected reform's info will be there to mouse over.

And yes it's not great ui.

I click on a reform and the details appear on the right, but as soon as I move the mouse off the reform the details box disappears.
