Mouse-over Information Bubble(Pop-up)

Recommended Posts

Dear @ŁukaszJakowski ,

Adding an Pop-up bubble with detailed information describing the category or option that you hover your mouse-over.
Not only for the main menu, when choosing scenario. But also for in-game too. Since there so many new mechanics 
and new things to consider(missions, technology trees, economy, trade etc.). It's a must feature!


Although it may take time to add this option, I would strongly recommend it. I've read half the forum. And from those 
observations, actually many people. Don't know how to do stuff. It reminds me of the old games where you had to spend 3-5 hours 
only experimenting with every feature in order to understand it how everything works and why.
Or add a wiki, so we know what does what and why!

This is definitely a 'no go' for new customers (players), who haven't even played AoH 2. Which to be honest is a far away from AoH 3. But as an experienced AoH2 player, sometimes I do find analogies and similarities between both games. Nevertheless this feature would also make the game
look more professionally made and refined.

P.S. The game in my perspective already looks top-notch!!!

If you hover the mouse and wait for 3 seconds, then if there is more information, it will be shown. It is indicated by a blue loading bar at the bottom of the hover.

For example, in the province view, if you hover over the economy, more information will be shown.

After spending some time and mainly getting used to the new UI. I even found the Encyclopedia.  About the Pop-up Bubble, I saw what you meant extra info appears in grey painted letters.  I think  I expressed myself wrong/didn't described it right. Because I saw it, but it didn't helped, actually extra confused me in that sense:
Example:
The Economy or Tax Efficiency tab, let's say you hover over some city, bubble appears with info, then after 3 seconds the extra info appears.
I am not mathematician and when I have more than decimals values, I am getting instant confused,  in my view not very friendly to various kind of players.
I am studing programming languages, I understand why for you this is an everyday thing, but for other people it isn't.
For example Tax Efficiency shows as extra grey info this:

Constantinople:
Monthly Income Taxation: +0.05
 = 0.001+min(Population, 150000) /
27500)* Tax Efficiency % 


^^^^^^
No way you expect from me to take out my calculator and do math, while I am enjoying a game. Moreover the big numbers

are written together, which makes them hardly readable:   For example : is  150000, instead of 150 000. Or 27500, instead of 27 500
With space between them, for more readability. 
Also about the extra info where this "0.001" comes from, is "min" minute or minimal. The city doesn't have 150 000 population, so where this number comes from
Now, do you get what I mean, when I say extra info is missing :D

This rule applies for the extra greysh info in the Economy tab. And every other Tab involving symbols like
>>>>   ( ) or  * or having three numbers after the dot like 0.001, instead of two 0.05.

A simpler way of describing it (with numbers no problems) but not leaving a formula, and expect to get a sheet of paper
and calculate using the formula. Especially the Tax Efficiency tab :P

    • Campaign: Small Scenarios
      In this topic, share your ideas for Campaign scenarios.

      These scenarios focus on a small part of the map, with the rest designated as wasteland.

       

      For example, a scenario of the Reconquista in 1054, where gameplay takes place only on the Iberian Peninsula.

      What are your ideas for small historical scenarios?

       


       
    • Events - Common events for every civilization in the game
      Hi,
      in this topic, I am interested in your ideas for events that can happen for every Civilization in the game.
      I'm also interested in Missions for every Civilization.

      Here is some example, have more than 10k army, have more than 5000 gold, build 10 buildings, recruit an Advisor, increase tax efficiency 20 times, be largest  producer of some resource in the world, unlock 5 Civilization legacies etc.

    • Land units - Ideas AoH3
      AoH3 will have different types of land units.

      In this topic we will write ideas for new land units. 

       

      So the AoH 3 will have new battle system.


      Representation of the battlefield in the game.


      Land units will be grouped into 3 types. Each unit will have a different recruitment cost, attack, defense, movement speed and upkeep.

      Groups determine the placement of units on the battlefield.


       

      Each unit can be unlocked by researching technology and then upgraded.

       

      Here is the current list of units with upgrades:

      First line:

      Warrior -> Light Footmen -> Heavy Infantry -> Infantry -> Line Infantry -> Modern Infantry

      Hoplites -> Spearmen -> Pikeman -> Elite Pikeman -> Musketeer -> Riflemen -> Mechanized Infantry -> Modern Mechanized Infantry

      First line side:

      Horseman -> Elite Horseman -> Cavalry -> Tank -> Modern Tank

      Second line:

      Archer -> Bowmen -> Crossbowman -> Elite Crossbowman

      Canon -> Field Cannon -> Artillery -> Modern Artillery

      Early Airplane -> Airplane -> Modern Airplane

       

      This is a very early version, so maybe something should be changed?

      Or maybe an idea for a new type of unit with upgrades? I'm waiting for your suggestions.
