Good feedback all. Move colors are a must I think, an option to display a faded view of the orders from the past turn, and a way to enable classic colors / icons.

The Beta is just great. It works so much better for live games.

It would be nice to have a better reminder that you have orders due. We're all frequently not noticing we have builds/retreats and how many, causing missed turns.

You mean in the other games section, or for the game you're currently viewing?

I have now played several Bot games using the new interface.

The ability to enter orders dynamically in the map itself is a big plus, that works well, I like it.

On the downside, as well as the colours not being great, as previously mentioned, the really big problem for me is the lack of the red and yellow movement and support lines showing the results of the previous turn's movements. That's a really serious drawback.

Also these new icons are too cutesy. The old ones don't need to be kept or anything, but they were a better fit

While you're in the process of a major UI overhaul, would this be a good time to add preferred pronouns for each user in a game? It's a bit of an awkward aspect playing with people you don't know and has an easy fix (at least conceptually, I know nothing of programming).

As others have said though I expect it's about what you're used to, since when people who only use other sites always dilike our colors etc.

^^^^^ This. When I first saw the new UI, I didn't like it that much, for the reasons others have given: similar colors, colors too bland, weird icons. After playing 1 bot game, I'm a convert. The color scheme is an improvement. The pastel colors are easy on the eyes. You get used to them pretty quickly, too. The icons could be improved, but it's much easier to tell armies from fleets now.

And the ability to enter orders visually, on the map, together with the auto-updating of the game phase once orders have processed ... well, that's a major, breakthrough improvement. Saves a lot of needless clicks to and from the home page. You can play an entire speed game or bot game without ever leaving the map page.

The only thing I missed was the ability to scroll down and quickly see how many SCs and units each power has.
