So, eventually down the road, do you have an idea where you are leaning with regard to random map generation?

Will there be random map generation for skirmishes vs. AI? Applies to both single player and co-op. Sorry if this has been asked and answered before. Will player-created maps be shared through the Steam workshop?

Oh boy, I really wanted to see what happens after you get a tier 2 unit out. I'm trying to dissect the unit grouping and orders from what I can see in that gameplay (and the two other videos). Maybe you can shed some light. 0:40 you selected a unit and it selected the associated squad. Squads appear to be spawning together, not individually. That looked very Company of Heroes-like, so that helps my understanding a lot. 1:02 you control-grouped four different squads

If you just go a to the 2nd tier into the trade techs and are able to have at least 3 trade ships you will see a return. The most important thing to remember is....time. The trade route value increases over time. So the initial trade route is 6 credits. PUNY. However with a bit of research and time those routes can jump to 47-86 per route. [/quote] Are you saying i

[quote who="Franco fx" reply="6" id="3553556"] This is a GCII question. Can anyone confirm that Asteroid Mining in GCII was much more than busy work? When they introduced it I tried it, and for the life of me, I never saw how it would earn enough BC to make it worth my while vs investing in trade ships and building econ improvements. After that I started upgrading my mining ship to a colony ship on T1 and never built another one. [/quote] That's not what

[quote who="JorgenCAB" reply="16" id="3553546"] When the AI start using this mechanic in a decent way then I will reevaluate the way I do this... [/quote] I don't think in terms of "Is it needed to beat the AI?" I think in terms of "How can I be the best player I can be?" If they never had planet sliders, this forum topic would not exist. But they do, so I want it to get better.

I'm not here to make a judgement about icons in strategic zoom. But if you watch Supcom 2 replays by high level players they micro blob movements in strategic zoom (e.g. to dodge artillery). In AotS, will advanced players want to micro blob movements? If so, they're probably going to want icons.

I'm considering becoming a founder. I'm not yet ready to buckle down for a lifetime subscription. I'll want to play the game first. In fact, I may want to play the game well into the beta (early access) first. I see there is an option for founders to upgrade to a lifetime subscription. When will that upgrade option go away?
