heh yea, regarding the lobby - Id say all 2D elements in the newest TW totally suck. The minimap, unit cards, option buttons, colors - it all looks like shit. The 3D battle view is perfect tho - mistery how they screwed up those controls, it was way better in shogun...

Regarding programming - they could at least make a software development kit to enable fans to make the mod themselves. Im sure we would have a couple great full-campaign mods in no time.
