After playing with the Tile and Map editor and Beta 4, you all deserve great praise for your work.
The interface is impressively flexible and very cool. My 4 year old and 8 year old are building tiles with the Tile editor because it was so cool, animated, zoomable, camera angle changeable and easy. That is impressive!
And reading Frogboy's comments about things you want to work on both before and after release, it seems like all the major stuff will be there and you guys do seem to be able to make a lot of change in a hurry. This doesn't happen by accident but by good design and architecture, again, congrats.
I think I misunderstood your beta process and assumed the final game would be very close to Beta 4; based on some recent posts, I think others made the same wrong assumption.
Way to go Stardock--maybe the best game ever! Some of us have been pining for something better than Master of Magic for a long time, and I'm really grateful you're making this product.
