Hello, I had a wonderful time playing the Lucy opendev and am looking forward to all that Amplitude has to offer on it in the future. I own every amplitude game to date, and one of my favorite things about all of them is the UI and interface.


That being said, after time I eventually understood every screen in Humankind, but had some minor inconveniences:


The city screen was a bit restricted. I felt like looking at the city improvements and districts that were available to me was difficult as they were only featured in a small window that you had to scroll through. It felt like looking at a big website with lots of options but you had the bottom half of your screen covered up. I liked the way the options are listed in Endless Legend with an expandable window. I was also not a fan of being able to move the current construction down in the que, the only way to change what was being currently built was to move something in front of it. 

The inconvenience here is when you want your current building to be moved two or three spaces back in que: instead of being able to drag the leader out of the "currently being built" section, you had to move the 2nd place one up, then you could move what had initially been in 1st back some.


Finally I felt like the research tree was too spread out and could use a little quality of life improvements. 


Very excited about Humankind! looking forward to remaining an Amplitude fanboy!

Agree: the city MGMT screen should display at least double the rows (currently only 2 rows are listed). Looking at the UI it could likely show at least 3 rows at least with the same icon sizes especially if the top right corner menu is moved into another location: it seems to be showing player income and influence so why not display it under the dashboard on the top left corner and hide it per default?


The same scrolling issue is also there in the culture selection screen: not only does it have a scroll bar that everyone should be checking out all the way at least till the cultures are memorized but it often also doesnt display all the info when a culture is selected and has a scroll down option - at minimum the culture info pane should not have to be scrolled when a culture is selected.


Wouldn't shrink the images themselves as they are of very good quality and need to have a solid screen presence
