ME 2.0 Reports and Suggestions

[Crossroads]

Here's a couple of Bioman's observations from the "2.0 is out" thread:

I have looked at the new game manual and it seems to be missing the same thing that the present manual is, namely a chart showing what countries the flags represent.

Also 75 buttons in the tool bar? The present 49 are to many as they are too small to see easily and are not intuitive as to what they are for like the 22 buttons in the WWII Campaign series. Looking at what the buttons are for I notice that almost all of them are for functions available in the pull down menus so no button is really needed.

True, there are no flag charts, a nice suggestion. I made a note to add that to the next Manual version.

As for the Toolbar, as you observed Toolbar now has icons for most of the actions as well, previously only available via Menu. Now, all (or most of them anyway) actions have a Menu option, Toolbar icon, or Hotkey for activation.

Toolbar extension was suggested by a couple of guys new to the series, as having icons visible makes it easier to learn and remember as what capabilities there are in the game. Large Toolbar is ON by default, it is possible to resize it or to take it off completely. 

This is it, we hope, no more changes, so it remains the same from one game to another, with some minor tweaks for WW2 era (rifles instead of ARs, Piper/Storch profile instead of Helo).
