Population Number

[dexter4dxm]

we're just discussing things that are wrong with the game, like everyone else on this forum. one thing that's wrong with the game now is the stupid city population #'s. they look HORRIBLE.

IMO, the idea of leaving them all white is the best.

So let's see, the idea behind the new # look was to have them be shadowed? Why are they shadowed in different directions???? It makes it look 10 times worse!

True.

Valid complaint.

It looks dumb.

Open the editor, change the color of the germans to something that will clash less. Brown works nice. Possibly grey. A dark green works too.

What are you talking about? I have never complained
about the "known fact of the universe that full-red on full-blue is annoying to the eyes". That's totally ok, because it is not to avoid. Furthermore, I don't have so much cities which are starving anyway, so it is not a problem for me at all.
And who told you that I play the same civ all the time? That is a prejudice. A wrong one.

The thing I just can not understand is the addition of shadows that are obviously immensely bad looking, and as you may notice, I'm not the only one who thinks like this.
I assume that the shadows will be removed again, along with some some bugs caused by the 1.16f patch. Hopefully, this will happen in the nearer future.

Sorry for the double-post, but I think this topic is really important.

I can only emphasize mmx's reply above! Please post your complaints into one of these official "patch-threads". The more people do this, the more likely it is that the shadow will be removed again!
