Request for more cooperation in order to improve the game

One thing I must add here: Please, all people who bought the game, especially JCrowe, just try playing the game again. This way we can gain more info about the weaknesses. I've already made a start and played two games yesterday, sent in savegames to Shrapnel, but according to this reply:

What do you want us to do? The only new customer service tickets on World Supremacy are from you.

I seem to be the only one. Please, don't let me down people.

Try fiddling with the starting settings. I've noticed enabling only two or three AIs on a detailed Medium map and giving them large starting territories actually makes them more powerful. They were able to almost wipe me out in these two games.
It seems trying out different starting settings is pretty important.
You simply need to play more games so that we can learn all AI weaknesses that still remain and either contact Shrapnel or mod the game so that they are circumvented.

Please,
Help me with this!

I forgot to mention one important fact for people who don't own the full game and want to mod the demo: The mod selection in the startup screen is disabled in the demo. So you need to modify the files in the ...\World Supremacy Demo\GameTypes\Standard\...- folder. You can then simply rename the Standard-folder to the name you want for the mod. You can try your mod by simply playing the standard game-mode (by the way, the full version ONLY HAS this standard game mode by default (when I first started up this game I myself wondered why this selection is empty besides the standard mode, but this is simply reserved for mods). So, please don't expect extremely much more variation when buying the full version.
But owners of the full version can simply select the available mods at startup when the folders are named differently than the gametypes\standard-folder. I really wonder why no one has tried doing something more than changing a few numbers with the game yet.
Must really be because they were to pissed off because of the bad quality of the game at release.
But we can simply try to enhance it ourselves, people!

Added info about World Supremacy (to get people to check out the demo) in one more forum. I'll stay inactive until I finally get a reply from Aaron or some activity here in the forum. Until then, guys! Hope more people join.

Sorry, but I've finally received a reply from Aaron. Seems he appreciates my efforts. Hope he finally returns here. Here's the quote:

Hey, anyone still here? Seems the last remaining users are gone now (except me, like it always was in former periods of silence here. If anyone is reading this, please reply!
Hehe, kind of a postapocalyptic forum, this one.

I'm still watching at what's going on here.

I don't see the level of interest that you have from the developer though.

Sadly that's my impression, too. But he at least gave a sign that he appreciates what I'm doing here. But I had no success at all at gaining support from people from other forums.
I'm sure there would be much more going on here if he'd finally give some sign himself here that he's still interested in improving this game. Hey, but thanks for participating, Skirmisher.
My impression is: He didn't have much desire to finish this game from the beginning, don't know why, but it's certainly the case.
But why release a game comercially when you don't plan to finish it? This mode of action just means predetermined commercial disaster.
I think I'll do nothing anymore to support it unless I get some signal by him or something else happens.
By the way, Shrapnel have told me that they're annoyed by my support tickets.
So I'm not gonna send in anymore.
I think all these actions were wasted. Nothing positive happened because of them. It really was just a waste of time.
