Just completed the tutorial, I'm really enjoying the game and concepts being explored here.  Kudos to the dev team!

I have two suggestions to throw out as my contribution.

1) I have difficulty with map awareness in this game.  It's often quite difficult to identify which building belong to who, what each building is, and consequently, on a macro scale, what is going on. 

Many have suggested a minimap, but I will suggest an alternative that I think would be much better for this style game.  I suggest enabling the player to fully zoom out of the map.  At a certain zoom depth, buildings/resources pop into color coded icons.  Consider the colored/icon view the tactical view.  That way you can very quickly see: where your/opponent builds are spatially, and what buildings have been built.

This would provide all the benefit of a minimap without having a new widget cluttering the viewport.

Below, I post some screen shots from supcom and homeworld for inspiration.

2) I recently was on a business trip and wanted to play in the airport and during my flight.  Was surprised to learn steam connectivity is required.  I think this game would be quite fun to play in many situations where one may not have internet, and would like to request single player off-line mode.

All-in-all bravo on an excellent game.  Look forward to see how this grows and develops.

Thank you,

Stéphane
