A bit over 10 years ago I joined this community, and spent quite a bit of time playing the game, and getting to know other players.

At one point I was ranked in the top-10 of all players globally, and garnered plenty of awards, wins, etc.

I quit playing when support for Legacy mode was finally killed, and I have never returned to play. I've poked around as a spectator, and I confess that I miss the game. But I don't miss it enough to deal with the terrible user-interface. I still have lots of Goldmark, and I only wish I could gift them to somebody.

So, I am posting here just to confirm that there is, in fact, no possibility of a return to the elegance, simplicity, and playability of the old Legacy mode (or what I still consider the standard user-interface. Too bad. This is a strategy game, the success of which should depend on careful planning, diplomacy, etc. and for which the splashiness of graphics has no place. Call me old-fashioned, but sometimes the old ways are, indeed, better.

To all of you who never experienced the brilliant simplicity of the pins and old map, I can only say "I'm sorry." You don't even know what they stole from you...

I am currently in a 500 map on day 115. I have noticed that my own stats have not changed for a while now, even though I should have been earning points both for economy builds and for kills of enemy units.

Is there a cut-off point on a map (day 45?) after which neither economy nor military points are awarded?

I am in the same situation. Would like a response to this from mods?

Let me rephrase that.

How do I report Multiplayer accounts in a way that moderators actually take notice and action?

If any moderators/those with actual power are reading...

Please look at Game 4510894. There are lots of fake accounts/multiplay still rolling, even though I have submitted bug reports.

I came back because you restored Legacy Mode. But if you don't fix this problem then there is no point in continuing to play.

A genuine question:

How hard would it be for the developers to provide a maximally simplified UI within the new client? That is, use pins instead of graphics for units, at the very least. Disable the superfluous layers.

This is a game that is not only about planning and strategy, but also about fine-grained activity at times. The new client simply does not allow the latter, and makes the former more annoying than it is worth.

So, again, how possible will it be to provide a radically streamlined option within the standard client?

I have been playing for over 7 years now. I am quite active, and I have achieved a global ranking of 12.

I will no longer play unless the developers are able to make the new UI as simple as possible. This game is all about planning and strategy. Bells and whistles and fancy graphics do absolutely nothing for gameplay. Nothing.

Provide a way to use the "Pin" mode in the new UI and it might be salvageable. As it is the larger maps, which I and many prefer, are absolutely unplayable.

So, simplify simplify simplify! Your dedicated userbase could care less about graphics. All we care about is reliability and an ability to see things clearly, especially on the larger maps.

Thanks for the reply.,

How do I report the player in-game?

Dear Mods,

In game 2987932, the player in control of Castille (user 18711078) is a multi-player.

Please observe his activities, and remove him immediately.

It is not!

I still cannot access the game at all.

Same error message: Could not activate game 2477088 on server.

Error message is as follows:

Any help here?

Many thanks!
