This thread is open to all community members to post whatever they like mainly on what they have read on impressions for the test for The Choosing Tester Feedback. The main purpose of the test is to get the new generation order entry and checking operating as we would like and to receive comments on that, as well as to get turn by turn feedback on how the kingdoms look, feel, play, and strategic opportunities.
So, open for discussion.

I know not the perfect spot for this but Ry Vor or UM could one of you create a separate thread in 3rd cycle the choosing that has the last links or copies of the least items in 3rd cycle. I have seen a number of posts where someone did not know a rule or where to get something that was already posted but gets buried among the other posts. Stuff like
Brigade strength chart
3rd cycle notes/rules changes
Special abilities for brigades
Link to banana splitter
Link to new order check page
I think this would help

Valyrian steel +12 is the same as a general II. So if you have an extra leader spot on the player aid tool use the General II if not then you could upgrade a captain to a marshal or a marshal to a warlord to get +10 and be pretty close at least to your odds.
JFs suggestion and follow up by RyVor is very helpful. I always find it tough to locate old posts on the forum. The centralized post will help greatly.
The new order entry system is very helpful. For those who have not had the opportunity to use it, some of the major benefits are that once you select your game the order system loads all of your emmies and groups for you. You no longer need to refer back to your game turns to remember what the initials of your count are in that specific game. For those of us with more gray hair then any other color, that is very helpful.
Also, the orders are now separated by group, covert, military, political, kingdom etc, with a drop down selection for each set of orders. This is also extremely helpful for those of us who can never remember if raising influence is 470, 475 or 480.
It does take a little getting used to the new format but I find it very helpful.
I have not worked out all the intricacies however as on occasion once I have saved my orders and found I needed to add another order I seem to lose one of the orders that had been entered previously. It does not happen often so I have not been able to isolate a pattern but it happens often enough that I feel it is not user error.
I'm not certain if it is possible but could we add a feature to allow modification of a previously saved order. For example, I enter a movement order for one of my groups and during the order check phase I find that the group did not end its turn where I had intended. I made an error. The only way I know of to correct this is to cancel the existing order and reenter a new order. From a users perspective it would be much easier to allow me to modify the one set of coordinates that I choose wrong. This may take a lot of coding and it might not be worth extra time as there is a way to fix the error but it would be helpful.
My general impressions of the new order entry system are very positive. I hope everyone gets the opportunity to try the system soon.
