To be fair the new UI was certainly made with MS Paint… So i guess everything will be on the same theme. 🤣

It looks brighter in color, more of fantasy. Which is ok, but I thought they had kinda done away with the fantasy aspect of the game when they changed the UI to black and blue…

I like the Aurora Borealis close to Stormheim, maybe it’s an animation like the passing clouds present on hidden parts of the map but themed for the icy landscape.

No more lines on the empty bits so we can’t guess where kingdoms are. Sneaky. 😛

I just thought of something, if Gold is the currency of Krystara, does that mean that there could be another currency for the other Map Underworld? 😮

No new currency on the screenshot.

The _Krystara_ button looks like some directional arrows… Not sure if it will be used like that or it’s a symbol to represent Krystara… Maybe different plans that we can go.

Bad stuff: Looks not very great and it definitely gives me vision problems (not enough contrast lineart, it all blends into each other)

Good stuff: It looks like they did away with the black overlay around the edges of the screen, which makes it seem less goth and the area bigger. That is much appreciated.

Sigh…I really don’t mind a map update, seriously, but why does it have to be so difficult for vision-impaired people again? I get that colored lineart is the latest fad, but I just…want to see stuff. 😭 It’s really okay for the mountains, but… the rest is pretty blurry. It’s not a red-green-issue; that is somewhat fine (the yellow part around Whitehelm is pretty bright, but the rest is okay). Just an issue for poor bunnies who are really more than half-blind.
