Hey, first of all, big appreciation for everything you do. I saw that I was too late to hit the kickstarter, so I gave you some extra above and beyond the itch base price. You don't deserved to be punished for my mistakes.

That said, I'm slowly making some progress on runs. I finished one last Sunday, but didn't have time to comment here, and I'm also not sure what sort of feedback helps you best.

One curious note I observed (on v.0.7.6), however, I have uploaded to youtube ( https://youtu.be/n-XYHbQMhQk ). On Turn 29 Branekka asked me to Denounce Milan for her vote. I did so, and she immediately voted for Lukomir instead of me. I eventually reloaded and blackmailed her to get her vote, taking that path to the end, but I did think this was curious. It felt in-character for her, so it might not even be a bug, but I figured I should call it out for the sake of visibility at least.

Today I will update to latest version and start working through another run. I will probably continue posting in this thread, to keep all my nonsense contained and not intrude on anybody else's threads. It only feels polite.

Edit:
Oh, going over my spreadsheet and getting ready for the next run, I also noticed one other thing that bothered me. I chose to tell the Star Admiral to rendezvous with the Heavenly Palace during the initial event, and still never saw him until the final turns of the game, so I'm not sure what I did wrong there.

Thanks!

It's hard to say what kind of feedback is most useful - sometimes the best feedback I get is when people run streams because figuring out what confuses them that they don't even notice is a big deal (if I watch people screw something up a lot, they may neve rknow that they screwed it up, but I can see 'Okay this needs more help') Some UI changes coming in the next patch are definitely based on watching people fumble it in streams. I often don't reply to specifics because I'm still thinking about what to do with them.

But at this stage of development we're open to pretty much anything. Any wild suggestion of things people want to see will at least be considered, even if many of them are too impractical to implement.
