I have added all maps already, only the push is missing yet.

My personal focus is on functionality, not on "User Experience". I would be willing to work on implementing SVG company tokens, if someone else would care to create these. I'm not interested in adding player portraits, and I generally hate background music, so you can count me out on these aspects. Personally, I have always considered the current UI to be a provisional one. What we have now was just within my reach. In the past several people have already done suggestions to replace or supplement it with a more sophisticated UI, but so far nobody has started working on one in earnest. On your other requests: I'll try to implement your 1856 background map. Possibly also the 18GA CP map, depending on whether or not Stefan can manage to do that. Erik.

Subject: [Rails-devel] Roadmap for improving User Experience Hi, in several domains, the rails project has gone far beyond SimTex's 1830. But there are some other domains in which the situation is the opposite. One is the availability of computer opponents which is only of minor importance for rails for obvious reasons (the most important being the lack of complete rule enforcements as a prerequisite). The other domain where SimTex's 1830 shines is the user experience (UI and beyond), including the graphics and the music. In my opinion, these parts of the computer game have a large impact on the fun / athosphere of playing the game. Therefore, I consider this to be really important, too. Rails has already moved into this direction by providing the means of including background maps. For the future steps into this direction, I have already provided some feature requests: - 3460692: svg company tokens/logos - 3460927: player portraits - 3454269: background music What I would like to know is whether/how you (Erik/Stefan/Brett/...) plan to proceed here.
