My Observations
Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 9:49 pm
This is very polished for a third beta and I love the names for the difficulty settings. 
The amount of campaigns and sceneries was way more than I anticipated.
Does the beta need to be "registered" as is prompted when first starting the game?
I have a high end computer and there is no problems at all running the game. I also have a large widescreen monitor with the screen settings at 1920X1200. This makes the small hex text incredibly hard to read. I am referring to the information like "swamp (18.7)". It would be nice to have the UI polished for widescreen high res computers.
I also would agree with several points brought up that the unit moving is way to fast and seems "jerky" es[especial with the airplanes. It would be better on the eyes if your either:
1) slowed it down (added movement animation)
2) leave as is but show a color arrow along the path it took to show the player where the unit came from. Now this would have to be limited to the players FOG view or it could be used to know where the unit had been outside the FOG.
Could the units move to face the direction they are firing? Dose the direction they are facing have any malus effect on the battle?
It would be nice to have a right click ability to bring up the unit stats so one does not have to click on the unit then click on the info tab then hover over the side panel. I had to constantly click back and forth to see what class of airplane I had highlighted.
The tutorial tips are very nice and informative, I really like how they come up as you are playing and are relivant to what is happening in game. This is a big plus over how some games swamp you with tips for things you have not even experience yet.
