I have a long history with S1914 and think the overall concept of extended-turn, build/march/fight is excellent, but man does this thing need an major update.
1) Windows on top of windows blocking views, oversized bars and buttons...ditto.
2) Interface layout completely piecemeal making locating simple tasks difficult.
3) Basic rules for the game, flawed at the onset, never updated.
Sure, the current players would disagree, but that is because the only players that would start playing and keep playing are narrowed down to those that see no problem with the above.
I propose that a large number of new players are denied the game due to the above. I would bet that a steady stream of new players finds the game, joins the game, and is out of the game after one turn...these problems (and other problems) are THAT self-evident.
Sure, I know that this game is likely run by one guy and a friend or two that keeps the server running, but shouldn't at least one outsider be brought in to see what is so obvious to new players? No, not me, nor any current player...an outsider. Anyway, still a great concept, way, way outdated now in implementation ... and drastically needing a whole new interface.
