First Thoughts

Post by bbmike »

I should start off by saying I have very little Panzer General experience so this is mostly new to me. Also, I apologize in advance for this post being a little unorganized. :wink:
My first impression after starting the game was that the graphics looked great! The map was big and the text was small as my screen resolution is set to 1920x1080. I didn't see any way to change the screen resolution in the options menu. That would have been a nice option. I hit 'exit' and went back to Windows to change the resolution to 1024x768 (which I hate to do as it makes a mess of my icons). That made things a little easier to see for me. I played through the first scenario in the Tutorial Campaign. I'm happy to report that the game is very intuitive and easy to learn. I was confused that I couldn't buy any units. The 'Purchase' button was grayed out and it would have been nice if hovering over it with the mouse provided a tooltip explaining why.
I liked the game interface. The layout made sense and items were easy to find.
One thing that would add atmosphere to the game is terrain 'battle damage'. After a battle I expected to see some small craters and/or smoke on the map but was disappointed that didn't happen. :(
When moving units I didn't like how I lost remaining movement points if I stopped the unit short of it's maximum range.
Game performance was fine. The only option that I might miss would be speeding up battle resolution a little. I loved the explosions!
I'll have more later when I've spent more time with the game. So far I like it a lot! :D
