Trevor asked this as a sub-post, but I thought it would be a good topic for more general discussion.

the fog of war and measurement are very useful. Using pre-drawn maps is very nice, although the size is an issue for my dial-up player. The templates have promise, but still need to go a little ways to reach their potential.
Hm, do you think you could label them when you change them to movable objects(tell the difference between various spell effects at a glance?) A little thought says that probably labeling in the same color/thickness as the border of the templates should be fairly easy and intuitive to read. On the other hand, maybe it should be more like the token labels where you can hide it if its getting in the way.

Hmmm, interesting idea about labeling the templates.
On a side note, we have a plan to make pre-downloading resources workable. That is, you can create a little zip bundle of the images you are planning on using, then have them download it before game play starts.
Another thought we've had is to send a small version of the image first, then download the full version in the background.

Dreaming of a 1.3 release
