Any attempt at any time to zoom out blows up the game and my joy meter.   It drops me back to the desktop.  Has been doing this since I first signed on over a month ago.  I did not post, because I assumed that the same thing was probably happening to tons of people.  So, it would be fixed soon.   But, still a problem.  Please fix.

That aside.  A big thanks to Stardock for going after this epic game.   RTS has been going down hill.   We need a savior!   The last epic release was Supreme Commander before the Gas Powered guys moved on to online nerd games. (May they RIP)

Guys, hands down the best RTS ever made was Supreme Commander.  But, it lacked the AWESOME zoom out LARGE SCALE WAR ability of SOSE.  Star Craft sucks because it is like playing a board game looking through a pair of binoculars.   We NEED and CRAVE big theater games.   Please give it to us.   Sins of a Solar empire is the best large scale RTS space war game ever made.  No doubt about it.   I instantly lit up when I read that Stardock was making a land based RTS because your Sins of a Solar Empire physics were SO tight.  The zoom out feature is mind blowing.  Changes everything.  It gives the commander full control of a global large scale battle.   Anything else is SO 80's now.   Please give us BIG scale war.  Please give us large scale control.  Please give us SOSE zooming in Ashes to make this the most epic game ever to hit the market.   Also, PLEASE PLEASE do NOT add the Jar Jar Binks flavor to the game like when they ruined Empire Earth trying to appeal to snickering pre-pubesent 12 year olds.  Please we BEG of you, can we make this a hairy chested MAN game with BIG explosions and violent game play.   We implore, we beg, we offer free Mt. Dew.   Think Crisis meets Men of Honor meets Sins of a Solar Empire on dirt with massive scale, 4k level imagery replacing Supreme Commander on the throne of the baddest RTS game ever made.  Explosions that rumble the house.  Eye popping imagery and strategic multiplayer game play.   Then you see our dream.  Our credit cards would spring into action with Ninja like speed, accuracy, and repetition.   Hail Star Dock.  I leave you in peace.
