Hello Everyone.

I have a couple of suggestions - first of all, I don't see the need in the presence of the main menu anymore, since I always click on only one button - "Internet Play". A checkbox in the options menu to skip the main menu and take the player directly to the Internet battle screen would save the players a lot of time (options menu, in turn, can be accessed during the battle through the "Esc" menu).

Also, I am using the E-mail notification feature to alert me when my opponent makes a turn, and it really bothers me that I receive these massages when I'm playing a game in online mode. I obviously know that my opponent has made a move, since I can see that myself. And deleting a ton of E-mails after the game ends is a little bit uncomfortable. Perhaps this feature could be active only when the player is not in online mode.

Thanks in advance.

First of all, thank you for feedback with such construvctive suggestions.

We will make some changes to main menu later, since it is far from its final look at the moment.

I really liked your idea to skip e-mail notifications for online games (we will do the same for games with AI opponents). Nice catch! :-)

Regards,
Nick.

Anything to speed up the game-accessing process would be good.
Many players are only interested in getting to the online game and for some reason, this MAN2 takes much longer to access(or load) than MAN1.
Getting to the game is much more important than whatever it is that causes such a delay. Is this a Beta thing that will be remedied with Release?

Like I said, it's not the final look for main menu yet.

We will certainly make some changes to speed up the process.
I believe it won't be a big deal considering our achievement on data transmission speed up over the Internet:-)
