Dogs of War: Impressions

Hi, I'm Lord Panda and I have been playing Dogs of War for a while now. Not enough to call myself a veteran but enough to have some thoughts on the game that can hopefully improve it.

1. Hotkeys for the Orders: It might be just me but i hate having to click the orders on the upper right of my screen. Sometimes i have to click more than once to get the command in. It might just be my mouse but i feel like the game would play more smoothly if you can call orders by using the 1,2,3,4 keys or whatever you can set it to be.

2. Injuries During Friend Challenges: Pretty sure this was a goof by the developer. I played with a friend in challenge deathmatch earlier today and my necromancer got injured at the end of the game. Doesn't makes sense to have injuries still while both players don't get experiences or renown. This kinda makes it so friends are discouraged to play with another since risk of injuries.

So far those are my thoughts. I will probably have more as I play this game. Thank you for your time.

I agree wit this one as well. I play on a laptop without a mouse and would really like to only use the mouse pad / mouse to direct a unit where to go or who to attack. And this is almost how it is, besides the order (i.e. defensive stance, offensive stance, etc.)

Another things that is minor but would be nice, is the ability to disable moving your camera around the world with the mouse. So many times when I bring my curser up to the orders, my camera starts scrolling up through the world. I then have to give my orders and scroll my camera back down to where the unit is. The effect of this option, would be to make it so you could only scroll your camera around the world with the WADS or Arrow keys. Just a thought.
