1. Sign your application, please, and give it a .dmg installer and an icon. :\
2. Don't like that it's full-screen with no way to cmd+tab out, and won't accept cmd+V to paste in the key.
3. Performance shaky on a late 2008 MBP with an SSD, 8GB RAM and dedicated video. By comparison, I can run Starcraft II on low settings comfortably. However, the needs for a TBS game are different.
4. Factions very comfortable to me as a SMAC player. Chose Zhakarov, I mean, Schreiber.
5. I enjoyed the intro video. The text cards can be sped up, though.
6. Founded my first city without issue. Had to click around a fair amount before I understood how worker assignment was done, but it makes sense.
7. The monsters are tough! I large rhinocerous-looking creature killed my scout and then marched straight to my base and eliminated it before I could get up defense. I shouldn't have tried to go Former first, I suppose.
8. The tech tree seemed adequate, but not super inspiring -- but I didn't look past the first two rows.
9. I'd like to try again and play a proper game. I think that I will enjoy this.
