Combat:
[list]
[*]Unit movement animation speed should be faster in general, attack speed is fine though. Ideally there should be a global 'animation speed' choice like there was in previous games.
[*]Ranged units could stand to animate their attacks faster. Right now they always wait for the previous ones to finish, but they could start up the next one a little earlier, like in previous AoWs.

[*]When choosing to melee in combat, you should be able to point from a certain side to attack from that side. I believe HOMM and King's Bounty have this? Eador does as well. It's very convenient to have, especially since attacking from different sides matters so much in this game.
Edit: Added a couple more bugs.

Just to help out with these:

There's buttons at the bottom you can use to speed up the AI turns, which helps some with the slow animations. Not quite the same, but worth knowing about.

Also, what's to stop you from just moving to the hex you want to be in, then clicking on the enemy to attack? That's what I've been doing and I haven't had any issues.

Do we still not know how much the expansion is going to cost? Seems weird to not have that number 5 days before it comes out.

What AI difficulty do you guys play on? I'm trying to figure out which has the best balance of providing a challenge without being totally friggin impossible.

I never feel like I'm clearing sites fast enough in this game. Even on my best runs, I'm getting one maybe every 2-3 turns (as I wait for things to heal or reinforcements to arrive). Is this good enough or should I be pushing harder? Should I focus on having multiple stacks running around or just my one doom stack of the 6 best guys?

Can you release the VOD of it?

On a related note, are there any VOD's from the tournament?
