Please give us resources maps such as wood-rich forest, metal-rich mountains, food-rich farms and maybe research points rich city ruins.

After three ascendance there are some minor UI suggestions: 1. In game option / velocity format, I will be happy to see production rates of weekly/monthly value. Enabling players to view production values of one swarmwarp period will be great. 2. "I want to buy just sufficient Neural Cluster to upgrade next level of Twin Hive Neurons." This is what I often do between each warp but the calculation is getting boring. I do want an additional buying button for that function. That can be an unlock-able function similar to cocoon tech.

Probably bug Please check this image: http://imgur.com/z0j6zqY Whenever two or more heat outlets on the field, the heat distribution oscillates among those outlets - neither evenly nor round-robin distributed. If unlucky one outlet receives full heat in successive ticks the vents went melt. It might be better to distribute the heat evenly/weighted between those outlets by their level/heat capacity or something?

On current version, selling/buying combat utility trading goods are at same price at same planet. Therefore they are the most lucrative trades now. I buy 1000 autogun drones at $3800, sell them at $12200 - $8,400,000 profit! All components I need are: light afterburner, x5 or larger cargo, +6 or better engine, 300+ shields and minor fuel upgrade. A $10000 Corvette is enough to do this job!

It's better to format the price factor numbers of a staion to 3 digits, ex: 0.97. Also please format the number in news to the same number precision.

too laggy. need the quality switch function

Some players played quite well - full researched everything and have thousands of dollars stockpiled. Is it possible to end the game earlier by upgrading your house to a mansion? Maybe costs 5000 coins for example.

@darkwarrior42: When you build a depot, the connection paths are decided immediately - which will try to avoid obstacles. The path won't be updated automatically after the obstacle being removed. You need to 'force' the update - build a tower on currently recorded long path for example. As long as a survivor find himself being blocked, a new nearest path will be calculated.

Great game. There are some suggestions, especially useful for team games: 1. Give AI players of the same team similar color - easier identifying team groups. 2. In a territory region that contain several sectors: if some sectors are controlled by a player and other sectors are controlled by his ally, (ie: all sectors of this region are controlled by players of the same team), the player controls the core sector should be able to take the army producing bonus. That will eliminate the nonsense action that attacking ally for a full control of a region. But the map files will need to mark core sectors by a dot or some markings.

@darknut79: In most levels sentry/decoder tower with fork, linker and (range or splash) did good job. But my suggestion on Lv14 will be infector with scanner. Since enemies have no armor and can spawn small ones, scanner(0.8sec cooldown between shoots) will be best if combined with slow/splash and memory leak. Infector shall be enhanced by adding memory leak, range and fork. With this combo enemy will suffer 5 dmg per second from your poison (1+1 for memory leak and scanner's debuff, 2+1 from infector and scanner's debuff). If you got Amplifier in later stages this combo can be further enhanced to 7 dmg per second. ** Be sure to give a splash attacking tower after wave 4 to kill minor spawns. Adding splash mod on splash tower will be great on doing this job.

@Jahikoi: Be sure to increase your resources and survivors quota in depots. I usually keep 3 men in major depots. Also the roads (not links) between depots are vital to ferry speed. Manpower management is the key of winning this game. If single tower is not enough, either build the second tower, or set a solid barricade - woods are cheap.

@Lureahawk: Barricades are useful in higher difficulty.

Memory leak problem is serious. Some upgrades (the bottom four gray ones) are lost when player leave game and back later.
