I've never understood why the interface has been so low on the priority list. Back when I played Xconq 5.4 the interface was ok.
Today I can't bring myself to play the game anymore due to the interface and to a lesser degree the high dencity of cities. But
since I don't program I can't really complain. I just wanted to say that with a better interface you'd get a whole lot more players
and perhaps programmers.
