UX PROBLEM: When trading resources, I forget which ones I need and which I can trade away. Also, the resource list is not in any order.



SOLUTION: Add resource icons and amounts (with hilights on monopoly) and arrange the resources in some order. F.e. strategic first and then luxury and alphabetical/amount/rarity or some kind of order on top. I just placed the resources into the default order (on empire management view etc.), I have no idea what the default order is based on.

COMMENTS: Sketch has wrong font and messy resource icons, sorry about that

Found this one in the achive. Kingofdreams mentions the resource trading problem. I just couldn't reply to the archived suggestion with these slight adjustments so I made a new thread :/

I'm a big fan of this, but I'm pretty sure it's been talked about before. I can't seem to find a link, though

Yep, problem was I saw nothing like this in the sticky /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/13096-updated-summary-of-suggestions-ideas :/

The other summary thread has a mention of "See how many resources you have to trade from the trade screen" in the second post: /#/endless-space/forum/28-game-design/thread/13003-summary-of-suggestions-so-far-discussion

... which links to an archived thread that I coulnd't reply on (http://forums.amplitude-studios.com/showthread.php?1212-Diplomacy-trade-screen-needs-work.&highlight=diplomacy).



That archived thread is also in [SOLVED] -status, so I think they've just forgotten about this or something

Anyway, I suggest more than just resource numbers (resource icon, monopoly-hilight, some sense to the order in which the resources are shown). That picture sums everything up quite nicely too :P



Frankly, this is a bit confusing to me since I'm a first-timer here.
