How long for a patch - The Poll

please do dedicated topics about things you consider unbalanced so we can investigate it. we are currently working on a new major version, so it would help us a lot to know of things the community considers unbalanced. Would give us an opportunity to solve them while we are working on the next version.

Soooo...On the topic of how long I would wait - I would love to have a new version every few months, but seeing how this is essentially the hobby of a few people, I can hardly complain about the length of time. This is easily one of my favorite games and I will have time to play it for many years to come. Keep it up devs. There may be problems here and there, but as long as you keep going forward ~ that is all that can be asked for.

Thanks again.

We are indeed aiming for faster releases. Yet, the next version will not just be a content patch, as past patches, but a new major release, where about everything is changed. That's something we cant slice up into smaller patches due to obvious reasons (we cant balance the game if one faction is already transferred to a new gameplay).

Yes, we are trying to keep the time between release cycles at a minimum, but yea, it isn't always that easy.

Completely understood. Not equal to a patch or expansion, but more like next game in a series, a remake. That just makes the game even more EPIC when it comes out.

Having updates on the new release makes the wait easier. Could you give us another news article about the upcoming changes. Please?

BTW is there a thread for congratulating on that aswsome new webpage. It is just plain amazingly beautiful to my taste. The best thing is, that it appears not to be flash animted.

i'm a modder too, but for other games, so i know how hard it can be.
my opinion for new content is: it's done when it's done
for bugs or something: as fast as possible

I'm totally happy with the current state of the mod, and I could wait more than 5 five years for a new patch.
Yes I am a very patient person, good things take their time, and fantatic m3ga super uber things may take forever just like this patch.

(I hope I don't sound too much like a fanboy)
