I was just getting into this game, then a patch comes out and makes the UI completely unintuitive. Why ruin a good thing? It's frustrating to have to click through so many things now to see units/items/stats etc. Will probably wait to see if it gets reverted.
Good game. Would strongly recommend these tweaks: -Rebalancing Enemy Commander in Wicked Campaign -Displaying some type of progress when fighting through campaign (I had never played the Wicked Campaign before, but it showed crowns over everything right from the start. It was potentially like this because I had already beat the game on an earlier patch)
