Hello,

I played a couple hours withThe Fertile Crescent. I really enjoy playing this game, thank you ! Graphics and musics are really awesome.

I spotted two little bugs:

one with selection (spamming double click with shift pressed)

as you can see on the screenshot, the selection bar indicates that I have 61 selected units.

Also when I enter construction menu and select a building with a villager then switch to a idle villager (with tab)

I am forced to build the previously selected building.

I also came across 2 others problems:

- at some point in-game, I failed to select anything. The game was acting like I am pressing left click. Pressing escape and navigating in the menu does not solve the problem. I don't know how to reproduce that bug.

- I failed to use control group hotkeys, I am using a MacBook laptop (with no keypad).

My most wanted features:

- queuing actions with shift

- fight sound effects

- larger map in solo (FFA mode?) + slightly improved AI (scout, build, attack base from different angles)

I hope new releases are coming soon ! :D

Hi simbass, thanks for commenting, and especially for pointing out the bugs! We'll work on fixing them for the next build.

Queuing actions with shift is definitely something we want (and really need) to add. However, it requires a lot of code to be refactored, with the potential to cause a pandora's box of new bugs to test for, so we're careful about when we do this and can't provide an ETA. The only thing we can say is that it's 1 of the 3 most wanted features that we want to work on soon.

Improved AI is probably the largest task we have ahead of us. There are very few RTS games (even AAA) with decent AI, and we're a small team, so it's going to be a big challenge. We are definitely going to tackle this challenge at some points, but we can't promise an ETA.
