I'm exited to hear about your game here, for a long time I've too considered making something better than the current alternatives too, seems like you beat me to it :-) I really really hope you succeed, for frankly I would prefer to just play great games, especially if it is created with people so experienced as yourself. Best of luck with the next kickstarter.

I haven't played the Alpha, so here comes a fresh impression on BotG. What I find good as it stands. - Love the pictures of stuff, even though some are missing. - Love the map, nicely done even with the planet view and all. - Good selection of different resources to produce - Fairly simple learning curve, got just the right amount of Menu's The elements that pushes me away. - 10 Minute turn rate. Sorry, it has probably been mentioned before, it's just too long in the start of the game. Maybe if it was reduced to 5 or 2 minutes it would be closer to acceptable. - Too many selections, like on resource selection, two drop down menu's is too much, especially if the page reloads. I suggest more search fields instead, maybe using some client-side javascript to instant search local data, as to to reduce server load as well. - Micromanagement of trading is too much, like manually having to make 5 orders to sell water to your neighbor... really? Love the control you have, but its too time consuming, so please make a "auto create order" tap somewhere to ease this process I'm not done with this game yet, especially since I'm a huge fan of the genre, but to newcomers, these elements has a huge impact on if they choose to stay.
