Your reaction to a new "feature"

If its absolutely necessary I could live with it. But I find it would be a pain to have. Could you make the icon for it a pixel big? Why not just have less than 8 conditions and break up the MIC a bit more? Core Infantry in one, open ranges for calvary and archers in another?

I'd prefer the logo to be something within the style of EB. It'd kind of be an atmosphere killer if it was a completely random logo, like skull or red button or even the windows logo. How about an ancient, EB timeframe, specific cultural looking graveyard? Maybe a tombstone. I believe you said you can make them culture specific right TK? Something subtle like that'd be nicer than a completely out of the blue icon that just throws everything off.

Just a stupid question: can't one have 4 different military building lines that each corresponds to different goverment type, hell then the unit recruitment would not depend on goverment
they'd have to be mutually exclusive and the first building would be the goverment itself ,then the military upgrades on top of that that allow one to train the troops

Do whatever you need to do, I will play it anyway. In fact, I would actually like this. It takes me 5-7 minutes to get from my campaign to the desktop, a CTD building would speed this up a lot.

Honestly won't bother me at all, as long as it was made clear which icon it was (as people have pointed out, the information panel for MICs is messed up and illegible even in the current version, so it's not like we'll miss something in that regard) If it's delaying the release of 0.8, then by all means. I can appreciate how it would be a major irritation for the EB team, though.

Just save and alt-f4 works pretty well.

I rarely try Alt+F4. I prefer the CTD button.

And if everything else is done (don't know), then this could be clearly labeled when going to download 0.8. As someone said, I think you can tell by this reaction that we in no way want the next release held up by this. Even if popular opinion swings, since only a small amount of EB players have posted here or possibly even seen this thread, then it would probably be better to release the game to get total community response. Once you recieve that, you can go about either deciding to scrap the idea by popular support (doubtful in my opinion) or everything would be gravy. After the release you could still try to find a way around it, and you wouldn't have an anxious crowd to deal with (if that matters in the least, after all this is your mod).
