I totally second JoBe (great first post!)
And, having played around with the demo a little, I would like to have more dialogue, so to speak, with my generals. I mean, at the beginning of a battle I make my tactical plan etc, but when things happen during the battle I would like to receive messages from my generals informing me of:
- enemies spotted
- engaging enemy with artillery
- keeping my distance
- what are your orders, sir?
- casualties at #
- may I retreat?
- commencing attack
etc. just off the top of my mind (many others could be added). The message could be in a nice XIX c. sepia-colored pop-up, or just in a dialogue box, and it may or may not pause the game (something we adjust in the "options").
Just a thought to enhance my gaming experience in a future version.
