For those who HAVE played it please answer.

I posted a question like this a while back before it was released but was never verified:

When you are building stuff on the planet (buildings, etc) can you actually SEE tham from that orbital view as tiny little specs or little images as the planet rotates?

Also, could someone tell me about the ground combat in great detail as of how it looks, please? Thanks a bunch!

Sorry but you can not see tiny little buildings from a small view of the planet.

The ground combat is strictly representational. You have the planet turning on one side, and a grid on the other. There are stats underneath describing the amounts of each type of ground force.

However, the SOUND is what excels. As you battle, you get an audio battlefield report, with your commander yelling, exalting, bemoaning and being generally excited in one way or another, telling you how the tide of battle is turning.

Is the yelling of the voices in english or is it the language of your selected race with english subtitles?

English -- but I haven't seen foreign versions of the game. Anyway, you can tell how your troops are doing by the numbers in the middle that change during battle.
