Still, no zoom .

Think of the good work, don't hope of the zoom correction all of the time

I am trying. but it hard to see it through the satellite view

BUG FIXES:

• Fixing Grenadiers' firing animation

They still look like they are firing a mortar and not a grenade launcher

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Updating the display of resources field on the minimap to improve combat readibility.

It's better in the game (though still not perfectly readable) but in replay mode, when the player is blue and the aluminium flieds have a blue shade then it's unreadable.
Could we simply have a "turn ressources off" button on the minimap ( a in-game button or in the option menu)?

Thanks for those new fixes and improvements.

Maybe you guys (devs or more likely moderators) could drop us a hint about some community feedback or wishes which came up to the developer's ears, so that we could bring you some more precise and structured suggestions, if possible of course.

i mean, nearly almost everyone in here is participating to a beta phase (who said early access?), which seems to be the perfect opportunity, a month before the game comes out, to know if some aspects of the game are going to change and/or if you would like us to make some testings on particular points.

But you may have already considered this in your process.

Anyways, keep up the good work

We are getting a lot of valuable and detailed feedbacks from you guys, which is very helpful. It also means that we have several subjects to consider, and that we need to focus on the most critical issues.

We cannot give you a roadmap, as we are taking issues one after another by order of priority, but we will try to push as much improvements as we can, so keep the feedbacks coming. Also, crash fixes such as this patch are obviously the number one priority, and although they may not sound as sexy as new features, they still take time to hunt and are an absolute necessity.

About the zoom, MadMat has already made a clear statement, therefore it is pointless (and rather tiresome) to hammer it in every patchlog: we are already trying to get some improvements without compromising the performances for everyone, which is kind of a ridge path. That will take some more time, don't expect it this week.

[Megiddo]

Makes perfect sense.

Thank you for your précisions and efforts.

[Selereth]

Can we expect to see Cartel sometime this week? Or are you guys still working on finishing touches/final adjustments that will delay their launch because a week ago it was said that they would launch in about two weeks, and it's been one so far. Looking forward to playing them either way.

You could maybe increase the zoom little by little in the upcoming patches. If at any point people start complaining about performance, you can just stop.

I am pretty sure the game can at least handle the zoom mod configuration.

As I have said already, you don't have to go crazy with it in the first iteration.
