The world looks great. You have a unique art style, but again y'all went with the decision to continue with the palette swap factions with maybe one dude with a horn or whatever. It turns off a lot of people. It makes things feel bland, like everyone is the same really. You did great by offering better faction bonuses, but seriously, FFH2 was great (yes i know this isn't FFH2) because every civ looked and felt different. This is REALLY important in a RTS game. You did it

Exactly. This is a stupid "feature" if it is a feature because its a staple in 4x gaming.

Sooo yeah... I can't do that.. I have to click on the mini map to move it.

Damn I have amazing ideas. Y'all need to hire me.

Also, an idea if any of the devs are still reading this (please god read all of the comments especially mine ;p ) You should add a bandit/mercenary system similar to Sins but tweaked in a way where there isn't a timer.. like if you have a trait you should randomly be able to get an option to let you hire them out to attack someone.. for example Bort the bandit says, "Oi, for a bit of coin, me mates will frazzle your neighbors.

Frogboy I want you to know that I am going to be your most honest beta tester. I'm not a fanboy, I am a lover of 4x games and Fantasy games and I buy them all. I even have Romance of the Three Kingdoms 11.. I have played 4x games since they existed. I will not bullshit you, I will also not be rude. I am writing this to tell you to let you know that you should expect honest criticisms and SOLUTIONS and ideas because I really, really, really need this game to be

Also please, I beg of you. Don't announce a release date. Do what Blizzard does: "It's done when it's done." We will understand. We promise.

I want to believe. I want to believe. I want to believe. But i'm going in with the expectation that this game will be shit. I hope you understand... so I can be wowed when i'm wrong.
