While playing today I came across two issues that are not game breaking, but are rather annoying. - I landed two groups of marines each at 35 men and one unit's officer was KIA. When I combined the two units it placed the KIA general in charge so the unit now did not have an officer. I am not sure which unit I selected first, but regardless it would be nice if the game detected a living officer over a KIA officer. - The other issue is with an enemy ship sinking. When the enemy board their life boats they are nearly impossible to kill. I have had two ships guns (I have tried standard shot and grape shot, standard shot seems more effective) firing at point blank range at a life boat filled with 200 or so men and they only lost around 30 before boarding an allied ship. With artillery and infantry firing at a life boat they should drop in numbers fast. This is frustrating, because it gives the enemy ship an extreme boost to its effectiveness when this happens and in reality there is no way the life boats should have made it. Other than that the game is truly awesome. I just recently finished watching the show Black Sails, so I was in the mood for a game like this. Great work and I cannot wait until the game is practically flawless as the Ultimate General series is.

I just ran into this issue today and my game is up to date. Was it "fixed" Friday or has the patch not gone live yet?

I decided to go ahead and preorder this game today, but when I go on to the website it just says that for captain edition it will be released on steam soon. Is it no longer possible to preorder it at the disounted $29.99 price before steam early access?
