I'm new to the game but it seems like already I'm getting bored of the same no retreat
and hobbit war maps and I know the reason why. Its retreat!

Why not just disable it entirely so we play more maps? You can always just press
escape anytime anyway. Really its kind of lame playing this new game and I never see
anything different...its kind of serious when it probably kills your player base in the long
run.

Another thing I noticed as a first impression was how the "control your ship" message
was very annoying and I would be getting ready to fire or get in range and I would all
of a sudden be retreated out of the game because of not paying attention. Why not
make mouse clicking and ship steering count so it gets rid of AFKs and not those waiting
for an opportunity to attack?
