new graphics

Post by detrytus »

Is there any possibility to switch to the old graphics and layout?
The new one is awful.

I prefer the new graphics as it matches the updated version I own a physical copy of. But I agree there could have been a setup toggle option of old and new to give players some choice. A bit like Great Western Trail.

I’m curious if they’ve included slight rules updates such as picking up an extra flag/agent token for completing all three shared objectives.

Totally agree with detrytus and malafrena - the new graphics are shockingly unclear,.

Also the German 'flag' is incorrect (should be yellow not white).

If we have to have the new graphics, please PLEASE include a toggle so that individual players can select to see the old style graphics that were much clearer (and if that is not possible, in the game setup give players an option to select new or old style graphics/version (something similar is done for 7 Wonders) - I for one would NEVER select the new version!!

Hi, the German flag used in Yokohama is correct and represent the german flag at that time.

3rd'ing? 4th'ing? Bandwagoning the "Please bring an option back for the old graphics" there is nothing more distracting to having the game layout change mid-turn-based game.

Also in our game Chinatown now shows as the Dock, even though the tooltip still shows it as chinatown, that's a pretty awful visual bug.

The new graphics are *much* harder to interpret. Why change something that is not broken? Surely the real game can't be that bad visually. Possibly the new physical layout does not lend itself very well for screen adaption.

Please change back, make a toggle, or apply a significant better screen adaption! Don't make things smaller! Keep graphics crisp, not fuzzy.

Another vote for "give me back the graphics where I can actually see where the heck my president is!"

Having the graphics change mid-game on us was jarring, took a lot of staring at the screen to wrap my head back around it. The switch also flipped the position of a bunch of tiles mid-game, I think maybe everything was flipped horizontally and vertically so that it may be functionally the same but definitely confusing.

I think I'll get used to the new graphics quickly, I liked the new version of the game when I played physical, but the leaders (or whatever your main pawn is called) need to be bigger or more distinct in some way from the assistants. The yellow one is barely distinguishable by someone with good eyesight.

I have conceded/requested abandoning my current games because I cannot parse where my president is on my phone and I don't play enough on other formats to be able to meet time requirements. Honestly the new graphics in physical edition are fantastic and been no problem, my suggestion would be making the minions cubes again and leaving everything else as is (and fixing the graphical errors like, for example, the 5-power rewards all seeming to be fish for me in some games).
