(2) Per impression #1, the inability to store a user's var profile data separately from the game's installation is not acceptable for professional software anymore. The person installing should be able to specify the installation location and the location for user var data (config, saves, screenshots, etc.).
Agreed here. The game is impressively ambitious, but I was dismayed to see that save files are going where the program itself is installed. The "Shadow Empire" directory and everything in it should basically be treated as read-only when the game isn't being installed or patched. User data, like save files, belong somewhere under the user's profile directory by default; e.g., "Documents\My Games\Shadow Empire". This has been the practice in Windows for a long, long time.
Anyway, thanks for listening and continuing to improve the title post-release.
