Okay so I think I know how I'm gonna fix the UI after talking to people!
First, line by line focus with tab. You can choose to focus on a line and once you do you only get updates about that line. When you move to a new location, it will read out the header line + the focused line. With header line being coordinates+ owner.
Then the current plan is to make what on each line is customizable! So if the default order/groupings/header don't feel right for how someone plays, can move them. Also think that allows toggling on like descriptions of the units it makes, bonuses it gives, weirder stats that only matter to certain buildings, stuff like that.
Then did you do level 5? Patricia said it was a nightmare and I was confused as it was supposed to be easy compared to 4 since you start with a stronger building and with less zombies in path of expansion.
