version 1.008 PUBLISHED to GooglePlay "COOLguy Release"

In this forum I post the changes on the DEVELOPER version of the game.
These versions are (at the time i post them) not yet published to google play, only registered testers can download it and test it before publishing.

Non-tester forumers: if you want to get the DEVELOPER version (to see the changes sooner, or you want to try your own map designs) please EMAIL me to zerotouchsystems at gmail dot com to register yourself as a tester.

Very cool. :) :) :D

I think the button order is good. I would suggest moving the undo button into the top right corner (where the end turn used to be) and the scroll lock where the chat button used to be.
Thanks!

For the eraser, could we have that also erase units like infantry, barracks', and walls, etc? I've had many instances where i simply cannot get rid of unwanted walls and especially castles.

To erase units: select the unit and hit the X button (the same delete button), but you are right that there might be an easier way to erase units.
Thanks!

When you get a chance (which might not be right away - I know how busy you are with all the new stuff... I'm "helping" on some of it :) ) would you send me the image? I have an idea that would be easy to edit from the current image.
Thanks!

Yes on the on-device editor - tap on them. :) (when you are not putting down any tiles)

A suggestion that may help with maps created using the in game editor: forgive me if I'm way off base here but, all the tils and units and what not are loaded upon creating a new draft for a new map, right? What if, after activating the draft binto own maps, or into random maps, if all tiles and non buildable units that weren't used in said map were "unloaded"?

For example: a draft is opened in the editor with everything loaded; only green tiles and wood tiles are used; draft is saved and activated; upon activation, all water tiles, hills, snow, desert, etc, are unloaded (since they're not being used). Does this help any (with the frame rate being choppy)?

i digged myself into the speeup part and now i know what changes are needed.
- bad news that it will be more-more time to make it very fast (1-3 days...)
- good news is that i had a "quick" workaround, and made the on-device-made maps more faster. (i messed many with the FOG feature on the new rendering so that may be buggy too)

bad news 2: anything regarding rendering an on-device created map can be buggy now.
bad news3: when you are in the on-device editor and you put down many sprites (tiles) than it will get very slow on bigger maps - but if you quit the map and reopen it it will be fast again (with your changes)... dont ask.. this is now a hybrid solution - only the played games will be fast now - not the mapediting.

Been having an issue with in game editor, not sure if anyones aware, but my obstacles and rocks all disappear after quitting the editor (even after saving) and only reappear after pressing the undo button.
They also don't make it into the activated version Of the map either.
