30MAR11 - Downtime notification for UIv2 release

Can't wait to check it out later

Hi all,

Thanks to everyone who's commented on UIv2 - all comments are constructive.

I would make the point that there's been an entire subforum for reporting issues with UIv2 with threads both at the bug level as well as the 'feedback' level.

Many of the issues raised in this thread are being raised with us for the first time, and I would direct these posters to the testing thread to make their bug reports known. 

Others of the issues raised in this thread are regarding the content, purpose and layout of UIv2, and I would direct these posters to this feedback thread to make their views known.

Both these forums (and UIv2 itself) have been publically available for nearly two months, and so it's not as though the opportunity to comment on UIv2 has been withheld from players.

Having said that, UIv2 will - as all things Illyrian - change, grow, adapt and improve; and we're listening to all comments about UIv2. 

The Announcements forum, however, isn't the place to do this; please use the long-established threads in the Testing/UIv2 forum to air any of your issues and bug reports.

Regards,

SC

I have been using UI2 almost exclusively for weeks and loath having to go back to UI1 for the few things I need there!

awwww....come on TD!!
Not like anyone uses the mail system anyway!!

Cheers to the new UI!!!

Two opposing forces clash against each other. Heavily wooded terrain spells difficulty for ranged units and cavalry. Infantry units find they have a large advantage here. Like the attackers, these thick forests do not provide much assistance for anyone except your footsoldiers, who take great pleasure in the extra cover afforded to them.

In UI1, it was formatted normally and I could then understand it.
