Initial Impressions
Posted: Sun May 15, 2011 9:15 pm
Overall, I very much like the look and feel of the game, and the relative ease of learning, for someone who has not read the manual. No technical issues with the game at all so far (no hangs, etc.). Some thoughts:
1. Don't like having to use the right mouse click to move a unit and to attack,would much prefer using the left mouse click for this, it would be more intuitive, and from what I have seen so far (I've only been through the first three tutorials), the right mouse click does not seem to be used for much else.
2. An spoken and/or written intro to each battle would be nice, as would a set of different post-battle narration, based on the performance of the player, based on a combination of fewest units lost, least amount of battle damage absorbed, amount of battle damage and enemy units destroyed, how man turns it took to gain all objectives, etc.
3. I would prefer the battle objective's symbol to be based on the enemy colors, not the German.
4. I would prefer the automated turn (i.e., the non-player turn) to play out a little slower.
5. The Polish tanks had German markings in the tutorials, hope that is fixed in campaign mode.
Thanks for the opportunity to test and give feedback. PG II was my all-time favorite strategy game, and you guys are well on your way to bringing that much-loved concept to a new level!
