Great game.
Here are some suggestions for the future:
#1. It would appear that message delay 0 is not 0. In the DOS version there was much smaller pause between weapons fire messages in the 0 setting. IMHO the player should have the option to set message delay as low as possible or even off. This also speeds up the game nicely.
#2. When a mission is comleted in a gampaign the game promts the player to save however loading this save does not work sometimes. It would also appear that reinstalling the game helps this problem but it comes back after a while again.
#3. When starting a battle the player sides could be labeled like in the Editor screen. eg. Player1(right), Player2(left). This would be wery useful when playing on custom maps where the faction starting sides matter.
#4. A custom map can be saved whit victory hexes, but when playing this map the victory hexes are gone and have to be manualy set. Could it be possible that the game would use the map designers victoryhexes?
