Author Topic:   Yet another wish list for enhancements!

Better performance of terraformers and aircraft/choppers when automated (which is presently so abysmal that I feel obliged to go into a micromanagement that frankly I wish could be spared and which is what I thought the automation of units was all about!).
Future enhancements to be released simultaneously for non-U.S. as well as U.S. players. Europe in general and the U.K. in particular are important games markets in their own right and we should not be treated like second class citizens!

And in future editions of the game, could we
please have more crisply realised units - despite the marvellous AI of Master of Orion 2 the poor graphics of the game pieces let it down. Much can be forgiven a game which looks good!
Otherwise, AC is a classic in the making (but you need a few more patches to get there!)

AHH! What is so hard to comprehend about this? To have customizable units that don't all look the same (And be quiet those of you who say they do, because they DON'T), you can't have extremely specialized graphics! I don't think the creators of the game want to make 5186 different graphics!
And yes, that is how many units there are. Not even counting the different special abilities, which do not create different graphics.
