DESIGN: City Manager Screen

If this mini map is just a crippled version of the big map then extending it meaning uncrippling it is the way to go.

Good job OnePresent...

I just hope someone will find a way to implement the mini map.

I have been wondering about this too... and by extension the combat engine. But they increased it from 9 to 12 so we know it can be done.

Yes the problem with increasing army size however will be the battle screen which may need alterations.

its looks really great

the titles for the tabs on the right can be renamed, i'm seeing the "inventory happiness polution" renamed to maybe population, so that the tabs are more evenly spaced and thus easier to manuever through, ie. easier to click on the "build" tab

i think i'll be totally alone on this, but i'll say it anywayz
i'd like the current minimap to remain because when the cities start cluttering over one another, i head to the city manager to see exactly what radius and what tileImp i have for that city...

other than that, i really want to see this implimented

Excellent concept, as long as it can remember to open Build tab by default, or remember which you had selected the last . Extremely impressive for using the limited space.
