Since nobody has posted feedback on this patch for 3 days, I’d like to make a suggestion:

What if the design load/save screen was like the division designer that you use in battle to select your units? It would be easier to find designs and you could easily filter and assign them.

Thanks for the yellow screen fix, haven’t had it since. The missile min range change was a good call too. I’m still finding there are a few problems with saving custom maps though. Trying to edit the values in the time, max supplies and victory points boxes resets them to an undeletable number (10000, 2000 and 1 respectively). The time of day also always resets to midday when you go back in to re-edit a map. Otherwise all is good, loving the game.

Aha interesting, I shall make a note of those and get them fixed in the first post-release update.
