JTCS v2.0 — Likes and Dislikes

[Big Ivan]

Hey Fellow Blitzers,

I decided to do a parallel install and put the 2.0 update over that install, called it Campaign Series 2. I'm running Windows 7 on my laptop.
I'm apprehensive about loading it on my Vista machine. All I can say is Vista is a memory hog and sometimes unpredictable! But one of these days I'll try the water.

After looking at East Front and West front here is may take on the new update and in a nutshell very good, I like it! There is a lot of good stuff in the new update.

PROS:
Very good 2D graphics and these I like a lot.
Very good sound quality and sound changes for some units, unit highlighting colors, game speeds and unit name changes.
I did two random battle scenarios one each in EF and WF and no problems, they play well. However I am still on the fence with the A/I as I want to see how it plays with the new settings. In one random scenario I have the A/I as aggressive and the other as audacious but still too early to tell how the A/I will react.

I'm middle of the road on the new buttons added in the task bar, they are a bit small but I think I can live with them.
I haven't seen the color bleed issue yet that some are talking about but in retrospect its probably not going to be a big deal for me.

CONS:
So far only one...
Bummer lost the random map generators! Oh well, the price of progress I guess.

Finally a big thanks to ALL who worked on this update. The old girl has some new life again and IMHO its wonderful!

Cheers!
Ivan the Big
