Feedback & Thoughts

Hello!
First, I wanted to say thank you to Slitherine for making this game available on PC GamePass where I can try out a lot of titles. I absolutely love Battlesector in the way it feels and how it operates. I had a LOT of fun, and I have a few thoughts. I just finished my very first Planetary Supremecy match against a normal AI and I will definitely have to try it on a harder difficulty to see how it all plays out.

Map Feedback
I would like to see a mode where you can get more available tiles on the map. The current hex grid is something like 3x3, but it would be nice to see an option where you can customize the raw number of tiles for that particular supremacy campaign. I would think the initial offering is something like a "Small" map, and there might be a "Medium" map, and "Large Map".

The points system on the whole is wonderful, but there comes a point in a Supremecy Match where you just have so many more points than the AI for holding the special +500 point tiles. End game goes very quickly because 3000 point army will decimate a 1000 or 2000 point army. Maybe this is just for the preview so the campaign can go a little more quickly in the end, but I have mixed feelings about massive army points per tile.

On the one hand, you can go AAAAAAAGH and kill the AI.
On the other hand the AI can go AAAAAAGH and kill you at the end.

Daemons of Khorne Feedback
I didn't get to see any unit other than Blood Letters, the Skull Cannon and their Bloodlord leader unit. It didn't seem like a full on faction with all the options of the Nids and the Necrons. I did read the FAQ and it's my hope that Chaos gets its own Planetary Supremacy faction

Army Management
I'd like an Army/Reserve system like in the Campaign where you could have more units than a given point value. Also, I would like some configurable army lists, like you have for Skirmish Mode. Some kind of preset list for a given point value you can choose whenever, and it would push/pull from you reserve pool. Of course, this whole thing would still be in Army Management, and cost the 1 AP for switching stuff.
