Is there an option for "tech research icons appear there"? I've never seen this. In any case, I would use the absolute corners only, and if left with no choice, the middle edge points. But right now you have upper notifications appearing from four different places, which seems too much.   Seems quite dark and taking a chunk of a building, but maybe more things have to be behind it to see. And it's hard to read because, as many have complained and should be solved, in general the font size of the game is too small. Bigger font with black edges should remove the need for any panel.

The time in the top right is the dev overlay that most people do not switch on - that is what this is aimed at replacing. It cannot be at the absolute right as tech research icons appear there. The panel can be made wider but you cannot take account of the length of usernames I could check that but there could be a performance hit. I was considering a scrolling text box for the content. The point about this version is the whole panel can be toggled with a keystroke or clicking the icon. So if it gets in the way you can switch it off.  The background is transparent (80% IIRC). Without it the text is very difficult to read especially when the background is grass or trees - or snow for that matter. ah bummer - I liked it.   In any case these are just ideas aimed at addressing a single issue. It would be up to the devs to implement. At the moment I have them in a mod. 

Maybe make the Skene 20% larger, not to proportion it to the rest, but to proportion it to units. I'd sat the player color awning could be a little taller.  Imagine sitting in the cheap seats and not being able to see the orchestra or the stage. Othwrherwise, I'm really loving this. 

Maybe placed on the corner? 34:44 appears twice after all, and maybe 22:11:24 could be placed on the very right of the "Elapsed" notification line. Could the notification panel length be automatically adjusted according to the length of the notifications? The word "Wonder" takes another line. Could the notification panel size be automatically adjusted according to the number of notifications? There's a big empty chunk blocking the view. Could the notification panel be made transparent (or kind of removed)? I don't see why it's needed, it could work like those center-top notifications. Personally I wouldn't use the Eye of Horus because it's a strong reference to one civilisation in particular.

I found a different reference for a stage, which I prefer. It has a stone building in it, but the whole structure still looks "rustic" enough I think. Still a wip, so UVs, props and all that small stuff are incomplete. If I'm on the wrong track it's good to know early though, so what do you think?
