    Here is a preview of the various interfaces. Please ignore the text on the campaign screen.

    Splash screen


    Main menu


    Campaign menu


    Strat map screen (Various vanilla buildings remain that will be updated)

    I recommend removing the black and white lines from the interfaces' middle. It looks too "busy", and somewhat interferes with the icons. I suggest making it all white, and if you must have some "stuart hooks", move them to the left around the minimap. Good job otherwise, and excellent menu graphics.

    and may posterity forget that ye were
    our countrymen."

    I know what you mean, but it wouldn't look like a Tudor building if I took away the oak frames and left an open white space.

    The oak frames didn't occupy every square inch though, did they? The notion of the oak frames was to frame a structure, i.e. to surround and support it on every side. You could completely take this notion to town in the interface by having the frames support the Army/City/etc bar and unit icons from the sides.

    I guess it's a question of scale. I see the strat map menu as being the side of a Tudor/Stuart building. The width on the menu matching the width of the building. Therefore there would be this many, if not more oak supports.

    I take your point though, and if there is enough interest I'll release a version without the vertical supports.

    Cheers

    Look at the Caimpaign menu : "Denmark, 1642"

    Why denmark? Could i play with denmark as a royalist faction?

    It says Denmark because it's an old campaign intro file that I've yet to change. Denmark is not in the campaign in any way, shape or form.

    I think that's the motto.

    Edit: SigniferOne is right, you should change the mid interface.

    It was an advice I never expected that you would be so ungrateful to some advice.

    I understand that English isn't your native language, but you need to think more thoroughly about your writing. It's difficult enough communicating with native speakers.

    Remember that using phrases such as "You do ..." or "Change this ... " is not considered advice, it's what we call an "imperative sentence". Essentially it's percieved by the reader as an 'order'.
