Hi, this is my first post - but I've been an active player on CAO/CDO for some years, and a silent admirer of the game and its' developers. (Only one win though
.
I think the forum is great, the wiki is best suited for a little bit more polished ideas and opinions, those that worked out so its worth to show them to the devs. I think if one thread has ideas of this kind, we may find someone who will copy them to the wiki for the devs. Those who like the game, usually also like to talk a LOT about it - a dev need not to read all of it.
What I've been wondering, that it would be good to have a subcategory in the game design section for those - like myself - who like to try out the latest trunk version and occasionaly other branches (like the (g)nome branch). I'd like to discuss the latest changes of the game - my experiences with them, that they're good or bad, what direction they move the game etc. Not for new ideas not yet implemented, but for feedback on the latest changes, or feedback for the state of other branches not (yet) merged into trunk. (I'm aware that for real feedback for the devs there's the wiki - but I also think it's worth to first to collect various player's opinions before showing it to the devs.)
(Sorry for my poor english, I hope I made myself clear.)
