TD-- I've been using it and it seems better than the old one? I'm probably missing something, but what's wrong with it?

Using the second reply button in UI cleared the recipient; however the first button worked - took a while to track down why it "sometimes worked, sometimes didn't"

Formatting of forwarded reports/text renders reading the information extremely difficult. So much so, that I exit to UI1 to read these.

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.

Above reasons aside, i like the map graphics (excluding shore graphics in UI2) in UI1better. It's just easier to tell the different terrains apart, especially in the mountains where they look almost exactly identical in UI2

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

I will use the downtime for a nap. I especially like the research tree in UI2, because it helps to guide building upgrades. I have recently spent a LOT of time ingame and use UI2 almost exclusively, and I have not had a reason to use UI1 for several days. The graphics are awesome in UI2, and makes my gaming experience much more enjoyable. Great work from the devs, mods, staff, and the guy that brought them pizza. I like being in Illy so much that I'm considering giving up my apartment.
ps; I still haven't seen a mammoth.
