A few thoughts on multiplayer
Posted: Thu May 19, 2011 12:07 am
I am currently playing two multiplayer games and would like to offer some suggestions and comments:
1. I assume there will be a play back of the other player's move added at some point? If not, it really needs to be considered. At present it is very difficult to keep track of all the changes from one move to the next.
2. An after battle report should also be included showing losses etc.
3. The system needs to prompt the user about ammo getting low. The little icon is just not cutting it. I am finding myself sending units into battle unaware I am out of artillary shells. I am watching closer no but it could be a little more user friendly.
4. We really need to be allowed to stack units on one hex IMO. I should be able to combine foot and armor attacks on a unit or city for example without worrying about a clear path to the enemies hex. I really doubt my foot soldiers would take up so much logistical space as to crowd out my tanks for a combined attack.
5. It seems like armor is not balanced here. I can attack with the biggest and baddest tiger and get absolutely wiped out by men on foot almost every time. I am not an expert player so it may be me but it happens with such regularity, it seems off to me.
OK, that's it for now.
