I created this list of thoughts while playing Widelands for the first time. Hopefully, it gives you a view that some of you can't have any longer because you have been looking at the game for years. These points are not meant to be suggestions per se, it's just what went through my head while playing. I'm a bit sorry that I only put down negative points. Be assured that Widelands is amazing! Beware: These are rather direct quotes of my thoughts. Not meant to sound demanding or mean.

I cannot answer all the points, but at least some of them:
I think it is good that you say directly what you think so that the developpers see where there are still problems and how Widelands can be improved. "Only few people know how much one has to know in order to know how little one knows." - Werner Heisenberg Top Quote |

Thanks for the reply! 6) If I remember correctly, the wrong sorting was in the buildings stats for some tribe. Obviously a tribe with umlauts in the building names. Regarding the military management versus economic management. If the goal is to focus on economic management, then I see only one way to achieve this: Automate or remove most military micro-management. If there is no way for example, to manually rearrange troops, then the gameplay won't focus on it. As long as it's possible to gain an advantage by doing such things, it will cause players to do it and by this shift the gameplay away from the economic management. Edited: 2012-12-10, 16:06
