Just signed up today as a Founder, been meaning to for a while and got an email suggesting I should get a move on .  Anyways, gave it a quick look and overall first impression is excellent.  Gal Civ II is one of my fave games of all time, and I can't wait for this to be finished and get a lot of lovin' in my play rotation.

The reason I've only given it a quick look is that I do my gaming from a recline, 2-3 metres from the screen, and the UI at 1920 x 1080 is just a tad small for me to comfortably read at that distance.  I had a gander in the options, and there are five UI size options (small through large), with just small and large selectable, but at the moment selecting either seems to make no difference.  I'm not the least bit worried now (it's alpha, and there are more important things to worry about than UI scaling), but just mentioning it in case it was useful.  Unfortunately, I can't practically test much more until the UI scaling is in place (the recliner gaming is driven by a a health condition rather than personal choice), and dropping the resolution down to 1366 x 768 looks pretty rough (I'm not sure why, this tends to do the job fine with games like Crusader Kings 2 or even Gal Civ 2, but it is what it is), or I'd be giving it more of a shakedown and posting more.

Best of luck for the dev team, I look forward to seeing it come together, then giving it some serious attention .
