Today I finally managed to find someone to play with in the multiplayer.
We had few bugs in the game. But first let me give some info about the match
We played 1 on 1 match, Huge map, all victory options enable. I played the Krynn and my opponent the Yor.
Mulitiplayer chat:
1) Non of us knew how to open the chat screen. Only by luck I found out that the "T" key opens it. There should be a screen or key mapping to help with that.
2) once opened it seems its impossible to close the chat window.
3) The chat window is small and narrow. You can't see more than about 6 one lined messages, and sometimes the characters of the last word in a line are cut off.
4) The chat window won't show properly the last line of the last message. We had to send a new spam message like "/" or "." to make the last real message move up one line to see it.
5) We couldn't use the chat window's scroll bar to see the older messages. The scroll bar moved but the text lines didn't.
6) Sometimes after we opened a planet or research screen and came back to the main screen the chat window got bigger. From the bottom of the screen all the way to the top. Showing the older messages we couldn't see before and also the last line of the last message.
But after sending 1 new message the chat window returned to its original size.
United Planets:
1) The portrait of "N-1" was too big on the screen. It was hard to see what my opponent choices were because of overlapping text and the portrait quality was bad because its resolution wasn't suitable.
I understand that the game match the leaders portrait size according to the number of leaders in the UP, so they all could be shown on the screen.But you should fix that so one leader portrait won't cause those problems.
2) We had the United Planets ratified the "Galactic Domain" resolution bug. We couldn't colonize any planet outside our borders, even planets that were in nobody's borders although the resolution text says " All member races agree to no longer build starbases, or colonize planets within the ZOC of another member race. (Players can no longer colonize or build starbase in another players ZOC)."
I know the developers are working on higher priority content. I just want to make sure these bugs are known and will be fixed later.
