We already made a rather convenient interface while working on the Fantasy Wars series, but some aspects seemed to be less than ideal. During the development of Elven Legacy's interface, we turned our attention to those details. After receiving feedback from players, we understood what we needed to take into consideration.

For players, it is important to see not only the hex to which they want to move a unit to, but also the route the unit will follow. We introduced a special trace that consists of green semi-transparent spheres which indicate the future route of the unit. Also, it is good to see which unit can be attacked from the assumed end point of its movement, especially for archers and other units with distance attacks. This feature turned out to be rather useful in planning unit movement. It is toggled on by default, but if the player wants, they can turn it off in the options.
