Miles is part of the new system and it should reduce compatibility issues not add to them. Unfortunately its part of the core system so there is no way to upgrade without using it. Well, one thing I'm thinking about. I seem to be the only person in the western world who has a problem with Miles so ...

Miles is what caused crashes on my computer with armageddon. Is there any way I can update my PC without Miles to run the DLC?

I'm not in any hurry. I mean, it's not like I don't have any games to play already.

I saw the patch and it answered all my concerns so I went over to steam to purchase the game. Alas, the sale was over so I'll wait for the next one.

I'm not going to buy without a save feature so I'm done here for now. If and when it's ever included, I'll take another look. I'm writing this post mostly for the devs and hope they understand how important it is to save a game in the middle of a battle (even a fairly short one) for some people who ...

I took a look at the steam refund policy as described above. With this, I will start liking steam and will make all my purchases there. If it doesn't work on my computer or I don't like it or whatever, I'll just get a refund and look for something that would suit me better. No more games that just s...

@igorputski For some reason I've never liked steam but now I think I'll take a longer look. Two hours is more than enough time to determine if I'd like a game. Money going back into a steam account would be fine. Thanks for the info. @bitnibblechomp So now I'm learning that each turn lasts 30-60 plu...

What's really needed is demos. It would be easy for devs to install a time limit into the completed product. Like three days. During that time prospective buyers can decide if it's for them or not. Problem is imo most of their money is made from impulse buyers. Ooooo, that looks good! Here's my money!

Now I'm finding out there are only 4-8 turns to a map. Whether true or not, this makes me think the game is too simple. I'm still gonna pass on this one. What's really needed is a demo.

No save is a game killer for me. This is such a big thing it should be very clear in the ads. I'm glad to find out now. If the dev puts one in someday, I'll reconsider. Cya.

The game has no save function? You're kidding, right?

Ok, that sounds good. With the interest this game is drawing, I think there will be lots of maps/scenarios. It looks easy enough I might even try it.

Yes, what you say is correct. But I'm not into map making. Some games have an active modding community and some don't. Impossible to tell in advance. The ad says "Quick battle mode with lots of pre-designed maps" so I'm thinking maybe 30-50 maps rather than 12. I'm more into skirmish play ...

Tbh, twelve maps doesn't sound like very many. Depending on players for more might or might not come about. I still recall Team Assault that iirc had maybe three maps made by players.

Maybe a slider to adjust the time would be a good idea.

21x14 doesn't sound like a very large map to get overwhelmed unless this is a very complex difficult to learn game. Will someone be answering my last two questions please?

Like, about how many squares wide and deep for a typical skirmish map.

How many maps come with the game?

Is a random map generator planned?

That's odd. I'm a senior who is hard of hearing and had no problem understanding either person. Usually I have trouble with accents like watching some BBC programs but not with this video. I also have problems with Americans who don't speak clearly.
