GalCiv2 bugs me no end when it tells me about events somewhere. First it centers the map on the event, then it puts the message in the middle of the screen so I can't see where the event occurred anyway. So far EWoM seems similar.
How about putting the message on the left side of the screen, and centering the event on the map in the right side, so we can see what its talking about?
I love this idea. Simple, yet overlooked way too often!
agreed!
Elemental has a real problem with being unintuitive on the UI right now. I much prefer the Civ IV or even GC2 model to what Stardock does right now with Elemental.
Amen to that!
Hail! (ie. agreed)

Or, alternatively, allow us to move the window around, while also putting the information in some kind of "turn summary tab" so we can see the events we missed by clicking on them too quickly.
This was always a source of frustration for me in GalCiv2, since so many of the events never made it into the 'event summary'
Indeed great idea. Small things like that bug the crap out of me as well.
What sort of things do you think need improved? We can't fix them without specifics.
@kryo -- Can't speak for what Arstal meant, but you could do worse than follow GalCiv 2 except...
(A) more readable fonts (and make lower-case NOT look like smaller upper-case)
( my suggestion in the original post.
(C) whatever I think of 10 seconds after I post this
Kryo -
Specifics for improving the interface:
If there is a pop-up notification, don't let it block relevent information behind it. Possible solutions:
I'll see if I can't doctor up some images to convey what I'm thinking, but hopefully this gets the idea across, I can never seem to get my Jing images to finish uploading to their hosting site - maybe I need a paid subscription?
Here's a mock-up, I wasn't able to get Jing to host the image, so I'm doing it the old-fashioned way:
