Hey Brit. I am impressed with the demo and it keeps getting better with each new release. I have made my pre-order. I have reported several hang-ups I encountered and can see no apparent cause for them. Different machines, different OS etc. There is one thing I find irritating and that is map navigation. I would really like to be able to click and drag the map around. any chance of this seeing the light of day? I really don't care for the zoom in on the current cursor position. Good work.

I urge the developers to resist the tempation to add layer after layer of complexity to this exiting new game. Simple is the way to go (not simplistic). Easy to play, fast and not too much of a resource pig. Put a lot of effort into the single player mode - make it fun and easy to play. That's what makes a enduring game. I own Supreme Commander, but I don't play it - too long, too complicated and takes too much time to master and play. World In Conflict is better and C&C is good, but what I keep turning back to, over and over, is EDEE (Empire Deluxe Enhanced Edition) - for a fun, quick diversion over lunch or a hour here or there. A lot of gamers like myself are no longer the teenaged obsessive gamers we used to be (no insult intended, but my son is just past the teenage period, so I know!). EoS needs to be the successor to EDEE and stay fun, fast and easy to play both single-player and online. Beware of those demanding more and more complexity be added to this game. That just doesn't work anymore.
