I am forced to agree with oneharleyrocker on most of his points. I have a list of issues I see myself.
1. Attacks not seen on individual city list. Very, very frustrating. Destroys players love for the game when the lag is the issue and not the player. I wonder how many players left the game because they couldn't provide decent defense due to game issues.
2. Lag, as always. Perhaps a counter to this is to allow a player to "schedule" a movement within 10 seconds of desired action. When you are conducting tactics within seconds, I cannot tell you how much it irritates player to dodge correctly just for the lag to destroy it.
3. Why is the travel time different for support and attack? And why does it change during the attack? Rules must be a constant. Surprises like this make the game based more and more off luck. The more "luck", lag, or inconsistencies that are in the game, the more your competitors shine. Fix this.
3. Map as usual. I actually enjoy a large map, but the real issue is maneuvering around it. Perhaps a fast regional map with fewer details would give valor strategists the visual they need.
4. Change the command screen to vertical instead of horizontal. Why do I see text where I should see numbers to recruit?
5. BB Codes. I love them. Include the icons for each item in the game. Soldiers, buildings, etc.
Example: [icon]lancer[/icon]
6. Your help screen hasn't been corrected since I have played the game. (Knights in unit overview?) your points overview doesn't work either. Preferably, you should have them be the link in the BB codes?
7. Your fan base is well aware of your advertisements for gold. Please get them out of my way when I play. If you want to make more money, fix the issues fast and more people will play, hence more money. Perhaps a real solution for both the lag and data would be to combine details to one screen. The less I have to fight the game to deliver pain, the happier I am as a player. The only reason why I have my city to graphic view is to that I receive more information at once. I don't care how pretty it is. I don't want to waste time changing between screens and lagging to look at "dandy" graphics. Perhaps you could make a advanced "master" setup as an option.
As a whole, your concept of the game is beautiful, but your implementation is horrible. I play now because I love leading and I enjoy the players. Fix this, or the game will not be enjoyable enough to keep your players here.
