Wow Ojo, rare to see you get your dander up. You must feel pretty strongly about this topic. I disagree that you have to offer practical solutions in order to criticise. I can watch golf on tv and say "that was an awful shot and a lousy swing," even if I couldn't do any better.

I personally don't mind waiting a little bit for a good game, but the interface is awful and we've seen little if any improvement since Shogun was released years and years ago.

I suppose my criticism of the interface has more to do with in game commands (such as all these "hidden" alt right click type commands) and other in game issues, but deployment and pre-deployment problems do abound.

Preselected armies, per player (not team) florin allocation, pre-set custom deployments, etc. would be a huge plus--but we've been begging for those for years to no avail.

One of my pet peaves is in the host setup screen--you can't tab between the entries (def. florins, att. florins), you have to manipulate the mouse to navigate in the host setup screen...which gets annoying after doing it ten times a day every day for 3 years. But anyway...I'm still here, so I guess I can handle it. Too bad so few have stuck around.
