Ah ok I see what you mean, there is the ability to increase movement speed by holding down shift while moving but yeah the rotating with Q and E is probably still too sluggish. I usually use the middle mouse button to rotate the camera since that's what I usually use when playing Total War. Though speaking of using the mouse I think a mouse sensitivity option would be nice as well.
Oh the friendly fire was fully intentional and I definitely plan to keep it as a feature, just perhaps make the AI avoid it rather than just mowing down their own guys.
I certainly hope I'm on to something lmao.
