there should have been a badge, or at least an achievement for getting your partner to safety as well, since they tend run rather poorly in the end scene.
This is great, but I'm still waiting on that glorious Ether War 2. I always felt that Ether War did something that wasn't found in other games. anyway, great game (this one) 5/5
There REALLY should have been a badge for getting a companion, (not your wife) to the boat alive. I did it with a lot of trouble, and it seems like a no brainer that it should be a badge. You even get a (superficially) different ending for having done it. C'mon Greg!
For all of you who didn't notice the obvious, the flags serve as rally points, select one, and the next troops you summon will go there first before heading to the enemy base, this is useful for intercepting any troops and capturing territory, so that you can drop troops in to flank your enemy.
Just a thought, I would love to see OC remix added to this idea, especially if you could listen to it while playing other games, and maybe have a "music override" feature that lets you insert a playlist of music into other games. Just an idea.
I've always wondered, if the apocalypse was caused by a total depletion of the Earth's conventional resources, why are there energy resources EVERYWHERE!? I swear, you can't go anywhere in post armageddon earth without stepping in all the potential energy.
I've been grinding through battalion ghosts only to come back to the original for a breather and man, look at those chins! Good thing they changed the art!
Although a lot of good suggestions have been made, some simple and practical stuff needs suggestion too.
Radar, rally points, alliances. All fairly easy stuff to add, I might imagine, at least compared to more difficult things like adding multiplayer or a veterancy system.
