First Impressions

Just a few turns and it was easy to figure out how to move units. I've only spent an hour or so with the game so need to figure some things out. There is probably a way to stack units so you aren't having to give move orders to individual formations, but I'm working on it. Also trying to wrap my head around the relative combat strength of my units vs alien life forms. So far I'm getting killed even with upgraded armor and weapons. Since I haven't spent that much time playing I'm sure it's something I need to figure out. Research and production are straight forward; not sure if I like the fact that research and production take a relatively short amount of time. Unless the research tree extends far beyond what I'm seeing, I have the unsubstantiated feeling that I'll get to the end of the line in relatively short order. Again, need more time to play, but that's my first impression. I'm enjoying what I'm seeing and I have high hopes for this game, as it seems like my style of game and looks substantive and fun to play.

I agree. Very good first impression. Intuitive interface makes it easy to learn.
