Especialy in many fronts game its to late when the soldiers appeal at your tower. Then you only can cancel the build, but will lose your soldiers. Even at speed 1 this is way to hectic. Interface: Game should be also playable on newer resolutions like 4k, the buttons are very small and the graphic is not compiled 4:1 from HD, it is way worse with a lot of pixels Top Quote

Even at speed 1 this is way to hectic. Then play at 0.25× Interface: Game should be also playable on newer resolutions like 4k, the buttons are very small That's on our wishlist already, but it's not trivial to implement Top Quote

I guess he means a visual sign on the minimap, when there is an attack. Even if he doesn't mean that it would be a nice feature, it's common in strategy games.

Then play at 0.25× I guess it is hard to set down the speed everytime you get attacked moreovver both players communicate then which speed they play Its very important, cause you dont want to lose your HQ when your attacked at the other side of the map Interface: Game should be also playable on newer resolutions like 4k, the buttons are very small That's on our wishlist already, but it's not trivial to implement very nice Top Quote

It can be a visual sign on the minimap to locate where the attck is happening or / and a sound at the moment the enemy starts his attack, not when he is reaching the tower, because that is definitly to late Top Quote

I am open for other Ideas For an entertaining game we need different stages which means different types of upgrades so depending on the situation there should be different results -> you see different types of units, and not only hero and rookie Top Quote

It would be even better if it already happens when the hostile soldiers are seen, but it could also stay like it is. Wanted to save the world, then I got widetracked Top Quote

But this is tricky I believe, cause we had or have alot of issues with visibility recently and we would need to determine wheter they are just moving inside the enemies territory (i.e. they are using roads) or if they are attacking.
