Yenroh Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 (edited) There has been something that has been bothering me for a while, and there's no way I'm the only one (I just haven't seen any discussion regarding the matter). I think either the score breakdown pie chart needs to be reworked or changed to something that functions a little better. This is how it currently looks on my nation. The highest contributors to Nation Score are undoubtedly cities and infrastructure. So, that currently leaves everything else to get squished together with text lying on top of text to make it unreadable and downright ugly. The other issue I have with it, is that when you hover over the areas, especially near the top, you get this problem It doesn't appear to be an issue right away, but my screenshot failed to capture my cursor along with the page. The box appears almost centered right under the cursor, making it difficult to tell which parts of the pie chart you're actually hovering over and in some cases the number appears directly below the cursor making it difficult to tell how much score is being contributed. Overall, I think it needs to either be reworked or replaced with something a little easier on the eyes and without text appearing over text making it unreadable. One suggestion for a change would be a simple list showing the numbers and possibly percentage contributions. While not as "cool" as a pie chart showing the breakdown in a graphic, it would be a bit better over the current situation. Please discuss what you guys think. -Yenroh Edited July 10, 2015 by Yenroh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ELPINCHAZO Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It needs to not be a pie chart. Never use a pie chart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Alex Posted July 11, 2015 Administrators Share Posted July 11, 2015 But, pie. In any case, I was going to just change this to a Military / Infrastructure / Cities / Project pie chart.

Arthur James Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Not a problem itself if it is a sub-pie chart within a pie or pie within a pie. Anyway, I don't see it is a problem at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyMar Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I liked it the way it was, since you could click in the color key on the colors for "infrastructure" and "cities" and turn those off to see just your military breakdown.
