Ironically the exploit was never discovered by any beta (or at least never reported to me.) I just checked it (and I'm supposed to be on an xmas holiday now), and it will be fixed for 1.01.
However, there are plenty of things I wish to adress here now.
1) If you want to rant like that, you don't score alot of points or make anyone more likely to listen to your proposals. We're human beings and are much more likely to read the posts of someone being polite, than someone writing insults like "you dont understand and just whine".
For example. Take Fiendix here.. He argued alot against at the piecemeal arrival of forces depending on speed and wanted the possibility to give a synchronized arrival order. I don't agree on it myself that it improves the game, but that feature has now been added to the code for 1.01.
2) The weather mapmode is completely different from terrain mapmode for a REASON. Its absolutely vital to see the changes in winter and mud as they roll around when you fight long campaigns. Terrain would be obscured most of the time anyway, and those are static and you learn them after a while. This won't change no matter how many posts someone not interested in buying the game is writing here.
3) Airmissions are areabased and will stay that way.
Yes, there are advantages and disadvantages.. I agree that the border between areas can create awkward situations at times, but all other solutions would be even less userfriendly.
One important thing also is that the province-targetting algoritms are NOT designed to kamikaze aircrafts, and will select the targets that give you the most RoI.
And finally.. its christmas time.. take some time off from the computer, meet your friends and relatives..

who?) though a couple of times to catch the CTDs. "real" software should have a reasonable QA before release; catching basic CTDs is trivial QA.
