Poll: What should the ingame menus/interface look like

What should the ingame menus/interface look like?

Should civ4 look a lot like civ3 with button commands on the bottom of the screen, or should the series move towards a control panal at the bottom (a la the sims) of the screen.

A kind of control panel would be good, but not as in sims... Something new and different. if they know what trhey do.

something new and different... not too different, though. remember the lesson from Civ:CTP.

[Adagio]

The Sims1/2 and SimCity 4 basicly uses the same interface, which I'd say could be used for Civ4, but I doubt it'll happen...

I think a control panal would be very useful. Furthermore, when you select a troop there could be an animation of the troop in the corner of the control panal. It would serve little value, but it would give the game a sense of polish.
