What is wrong with small icons ?

Hello,
I've just purchased this game. The new interface is fine, I like the general look of the game.
But I don't understand why you choose to apply the common idiom in modern human interface : "the bigger the buttons, the better it is".
In the first one, I could have a unit view with all information on one screen. Why do you think it is better to have the same info, but with 4 clics to go through it ?
Same for special orders : in a single icon in ACWII you could fit 4 of ACW. I now need two clicks to set an order (same for minimap).
The new recruiting panel on the bottom has the same problem. In ACWI I could have all the possibly recruiting unit in a single screen. Now I need to scroll if I want to check the differences between two unit.
Please, considere that if you have a lot of info to display, it is alway better to make them fit in a single space in order to have all we need in the same place.
This second ACW seems great, but I am really annoyed with this new interface.
Thanks again.
