quote: Yes! I am extremely annoyed with this I seem to recall that CtP1 just had msgs pop up to the left of the screen as little buttons. One could L-click to view a message, and then R-click to delete. Much better systems. Beats me why they decided that needed to be changed

Let me ask you this then: How many people make a point of deleting all the messages once they've read them? To begin with, I was because I wanted to be sure that I wasn't missing any. But that was such a hassle with all the clicking that I figured maybe that wasn't the idea. After trying to play the game leaving the messages in the box, I've decided it's a disaster and I'm deleting them all again depite the fact that it's a pain.

And what's with having to press 'o' before the end of each turn to make sure you've got no units left to move? By the time I do this and the message thing before I press end turn, it's taking ages! Surely there's a better way to do this...

Why not just either show all the content of the message in one line (wont work for all messages though, but for the most important it would), or do a leftclick opens, leftclick closes feature. So that you open the message with a left click and another left click closes it. Then you at least have not to move the mouse up to the message.
If you could combine this with the one line messages then this would be perfect!

But please DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!

Besides this would have been one of the things that you MUST have seen when playing the game! Or is there an easy trick around?
How do Activisionians handle the messages?

After comparing a MedMod CTP1 and the default CTP2, MedMod CTP1 is still better. CTP2 is better than the default CTP1 though. I hope the whole 'Scenario Editor' issue will be addressed. At this point, all I can do is place settlers on a map. Placing cities causes a whole host of goofy things to happen. (maybe I am missing something here?) At least give us instructions how to do the basics... And please address the 'Wonder Movie' bug which leaves the movie screen up after the movie is done. I can't get rid of it!

Do you really think this is a bug? I like watching the cool/crap movies, and reading the effect later

Yeah, that's quite annoying too. I keep trying to change the wrong build queue, even though I've done it time and time again. There's just no reason why it shouldn't center as far as I can see.
