I could give all kinds of subjective suggestions and start a big debate but I'll just keep this simple, 2 things that I'd wager most everyone can agree would be improvements.



First is a mini-map. I'm surprised this isn't in the game already. Perhaps with a couple options like, show terrain, show borders, show military. Zooming out is nice but it's great to have a full look at the situation without having to zoom out.



The second is unit banners during combat. I didn't have a problem early on but later when you've got 6 size armies with reinforcements fighting on top of a city with many districts, it can be pretty hard to see what's going on. A simple banner on each unit with a symbol representing type (infantry, ranged, cavalry, etc) would help understanding the situation at a glance.



Looking forward to seeing the game fleshed out.

I'm with you on the second half of that.



I don't mind so much not having a mini map in a fantasy game. Though I suppose late in a game on a large map, I might change my mind
