1Z: I like it. Comments and "bugs"

from Stardock Forums
Ok, this is the first beta that tie me down to the keyboard :)
Few comments/bugs:
- colors in the minimaps are unreadable. Black as background is terrible for blu... Zooming improves but...
- ships/planets listing: we need another way to sort them. Bottom line: less graphics, more lines, more infos, sorting available. I suppose were not intended for 1Z
- UP: how can I call for a summit? how often is automatic? how many issues did you input?
- sound got off at midgame
- found funny to trade a small tech for about 15 troopers loaded with millions. Good way to jump start an invasion. Brad, AI should be smarter here ;)
- cannot find options like "let's ally" even with races that are in ally mood with me
- Can't find a place that tell me if a race is good-evil-neutral even after spending on espionage.

I suggest they try changing the background colour on a mini map to white see it that is more visible. I addition I wonder what size monitor everybody is using. Mine is 17" on larger monitors the mini map maybe ok.

GOOD stuff sorting and scrolling, I think "Frogboy" said it is in the works.


Trade a small tech for 15 troopers, Wow got to try that !!

I agree let ALLY should be and option, Who knows might even be in the works. The game I am playing now I am super nice not starting wars picking the GOOD option every time. I should get to point where I could go to an Alien Civ and say lets ALLY. In fact the ALLY status should be binding and I am not sure it is,

I do not find it is neccessary bad to play EVIL, Why discourge warmongers if you are evil. In the old game it was more entertaining to play EVIL. When the GOOD vs. EVIL thing is released I wonder how well it will work.

I wonder also about rtandom events I have not seen any yet. In the good vs evil thing when a window pops up with choices like.

Rumors say Aliens are being explioted

KILL the Reporter they will get the message
Send out a Denial
Investigate and bring any bory responisble for these crimes to trial

It get your point across if you are bad or good.

I am sure these things are coming.

"colors in the minimaps are unreadable. Black as background is terrible for blu... Zooming improves but"

You may have to adjust your brightness a bit for now...

The planet and ship lists design are on the list.

"UP: how can I call for a summit? how often is automatic? how many issues did you input?"

You can't call for one. I don't know if that will be an option in the future. It's currently set for every 4 years (48 turns). We obviously still have to add a lot of issues. The current issues are in the Data\UP_Issues folder.

"sound got off at midgame"

This is referring to the lost sound bug, which is on the list?

"found funny to trade a small tech for about 15 troopers loaded with millions. Good way to jump start an invasion. Brad, AI should be smarter here "

noted.

Alliance is showing up in my build, but maybe it didn't make it into the beta build. It isn't behaving correctly, either, so maybe our version control software messed with it. One more thing for my list.

"Can't find a place that tell me if a race is good-evil-neutral even after spending on espionage."

I put this on my list.
