    Soo.....

    How would you do things differently?

    What I see is they worked within the constraints of the GUI window elements. They couldn't put it under the Shop in-game window, because that would block chat. They couldn't put it above or to the left, because there isn't enough room.

    If you're talking about the alignment of the images or that they cut images and didn't enlarge each item (construction, research, reports, bonus), then that too would start running into issues with having enough room.

    If you're talking about the fact that the words between each snapshot of the toolbar that describe the toolbar feature are touching the bottom edge of the snapshot and/or slightly up into the snapshot, then yeah, they could've made the sidebar slightly larger.

    All things considered though, this is nitpicking. I'd rather constructively criticise things that pertain to day-to-day gameplay rather than how those gosh darn people should've used 40px more height and a different color scheme.

    Members of the Evony forums are probably spoiled by our GFX community. They do such great work, it makes others pale in comparison.

    I do agree 100% and I think every single member of the forum who even passes by notes the sigs if they stay on for more then 2 minutes and actually look at more then one thread.

    But on the other hand evony is a professional company and they have said more then once they have a very experienced team. I think/know that they can make a better advertisement then that.


    But hey lets think if McDonalds used something like that

    I think Evony's going to convince me to start spending again if the ad looked as ingenious as that.
    Too posh for a signature.

    The variation I know is in reference to Russian fighters from WWII. Allied pilots would sniff at how primitive they were, but the Russians considered "the best the enemy of the good". Their fighters were good enough to shoot down the German fighters, who cared if they were not as 'perfect' as their allied counterparts.

    I too am confused by the complaint. The shop screen looks just like it did when i joined, what, 20...21 months ago. I have not loaded up that toolbar, so I don't have to look at it.

    I have a phrase I use in RL that may apply.
    You don't always need "good," when "good enough" will get the job done.

    Well maybe you should have worked a little harder.

    with dave and dawn on this thread, is this a good time to suggest that evony allow the gfxers to create some adverts for them? It could be done as a sotw, with fair use images. The name of the gfxer could be on the image discreetly, as a reward.
