My hopes for a future release (AT2).
First let me say that i think that AT is a great game. I do think that the two foremost strenghts of the game is 1) the modability and 2) the interface which makes a highly complex game easily playable. I do think that a second release should build on these strenghts.
Here is some thoughts about the second release.
- Make modalibity easier. A lot would be gained by making scenarios in modules. The different modules could for example be research, units, SFTs, countergraphics, terrain, Map, events etc. Each module could then be saved and loaded separatly (like the master file). The editor should have a module screen where the modder could load for example a world map constructed in another scenario (this would make it much easier to use previous work in new scenarios and fasten the construction of scenartios and mods).
- Make room for more regimes, a little more politics & economics (could have an advanced politics/economics setting). Shared view/territory for allies would be great, but maybe the possibility for allies to lend corps to each other would suffice-.
- I think that the game should have more moddability. The following should also be moddable. Supply & Political points pictures, start up picture of the game. Pictures for the buttons in the game. There should be a remove all units in the editor (it should have a safety message). (its not a big deal, but it kindof hurts to have the WWII pictures in a fantasy game.
- Slightly improved map-graphics (why not buy and integrate the realmod-graphics). The start up screen could give you a choice between real graphics, boargame graphics and the conventional graphics.
- I think desert, jungle & tundra terrain deserves a place in the vanilla game.
- I would love a bigger WAW scenario and would be more than willing to help make it. I do think that the WAW-scenario is great but there is definatly room for improvement. One of the problems is that the map is a little small so that the war in russia tends to end to soon. So a slightly bigger map (150% maybe), a more realistic political model (separate britain & USA and Germany & Italy and some other other small changes would be enough.
- The naval system could use a little improvement. I do think that the Empire system with damage is better. I would love it if ships could become damaged. Naval intercept would also be great.
- The ai could be improved a little. Ability to use concentric attack, carriers, paratroopers etc. Also more flexibility in AI handicap. Again i thin that the Empire system is great (sliders which gives each regime a production and/or battle advantage/disandvantage from 1%-500% (100% is index).
I will think of more. But this is it for now.

Feature for future release? - 
Yes! The things I learn every day.... Thanks for the training session. I'm working on a scenario with a fairly large map, and I need to work on it out of AT as the scrolling and navigation in the editor is not ideal for large maps.
