I've been thinking of it a lot, but I really don't know. Age of Kings had a UI, but there was no "start mission" button and mission intros were played after the mission was selected (I can make a video of it if you don't have AoK) However, I don't think this would suit KaM. Maybe a caption between the "Back to Menu" and "Start Mission" buttons? Something that says something along the lines of "Click flags to replay previous missions."
While discussing this, something that has bothered me for a really long time is how the "objectives scroll" moves after mouse-over. This is really annoying. I mean REALLY annoying! It makes my skin crawl and teeth itch like something terrible...anyway I digress. I've noticed that the scroll looks a lot like the chat scroll. I think a much better solution would be to have similar buttons as the chat scroll. That is, it would have a minimize button, to hide the scroll completely. Not only is this a much smoother interface, it would also enable the user to see the entire campaign map at once.
I used to spam this forum so much...
