There are loads of icons and stuff that I have no idea what they mean. For example the icons on the missions like the Queen's Wrath. I have no idea if they mean the things are boosted or nerfed for the elementals.
I had to figure out what the Patrol mission icons were (which weren't hard) but we shouldn't really have to. Used to be we were given manuals to explain this shizz. Then to save money (for the devs and publishers) they shifted over to the digital manuals which you couldn't read ingame... you had to come out to the main menu to read the sodding thing. Now it seems we don't even get a digital manual.... AND THE GAMES GET MORE EXPENSIVE.

I think the idea is that learning all this stuff is "part of the game" ;-) True a very boring and tedious game learning what icons mean/do etc. It would be so much easier if this website had some meaningful help. As it stands you have to read a load of blogs/forums and try and sort the wheat from the chaff - it's tedious and reduces the entertainment of what is actually an excellent game. But I think this is one of the reasones why it's <80% on gamerankings.com
