ANNOUNCEMENT: The Autumn Release (and an appeal)

If you're referring to the testing patches, they're significantly more than "script iterations". Recruitment, battle mechanics, BAI, CAI, diplomacy, the odd UI fix and many other things are covered there.

Fixes, fixes, fixes.

A release was announced for August. It is now November. Nothing has been announced since that hasn't been low-key.

I do appreciate that all the testing patches are building toward something, but any campaign fizzles out by 200BC, mostly due to lack of units.
Since extra units was what I expected from the August release, I am surprised that nothing is being mentioned 3 months on.

Aside from the fact that there have been regular unit previews on the Twitter/Facebook feeds, have you actually played any of the testing releases? The changes to just about every underlying mechanic in the game are hardly "low key".

I totally agree with you on that, QuintusSertorius. I briefly played EB2 right after the first release but ceased playing fairly quickly due to a mixture of time constraints fand technical issues.
This Sunday I gave it a new try and I feel the game has developed a lot. Oh and looking at Twitter, I am confident that we will soon also see a number of units released missed dearly yet.
Keep up the good work team!
