I left feedback in the various pinned threads about specific aspects of the game. But I just want to say overall, this is not even close to ready for release.

Hey everyone! Please use this thread to share all your feedback about the user interface and user experience. We've made various improvements since Victor, and would like to know what you think.

The penalty in close combat for ranged units was increased from -5 to -8 to give armies composed primarily of ranged units a clearer counter. Armies now do not lose their movement points if the enemy retreats to prevent frustrations of multiple armies getting tied up by a fight that did...
