Not sure if I agree - especially considering not all people playing this game are playing it on Windows.

I don't think this has much to do with Windows; maybe with preferred (or default) window behaviour being different across platforms, but having an always-available widget to close a popup window seems to me to be a reasonable UI matter.

The game's UI doesn't appear to have any differences across the two Versions that I tried (Windows and Linux x86); conforming to one set of habits will make life slightly harder for fanatics of another set of habits, but this seems minor...

Although I use Windows, I would be equally happy with a Mac-style close box in the upper left corner. (I don't know where X keeps its standard close-this-window widget - although I assume it does have one).

Actually, by now I'm used to Esc. But it was annoying at first - I was used to right-click! .

Minor Typo/bug:
The Diseased affliction description says your troop will "loose" hit points each turn, where it should be "lose"

Spellcasters with nothing to do should stay put and not move around aimlessly to meet an unitmaly death (check the list game bugs thread for explanation...).


We're listing typos now?
- Demon description should say "spells that target undead" instead of "spells that targets undead".
- When scouting provinces, military report says that "the army is composed mainly of hastatus", while for all other units the plural is used. So, princeps (I think this is wrong in the unit description as well, it's called principe or something) - principes, hastatus - hastati, triarius - triarii.

You can do this now. Type "#" and then the province's number. The map will zoom to the province as well as selecting it.

While you're here, can we get a sticky on this thread?

No we're not. Typos and bugs should go somewhere else I think. This thread is more about what we want the developers to add/change in terms of features.

All: post bugs in the "list game bugs here" thread, which is stickied. That should probably go for typos too.
