Recent news about hardcoded features

From the FAQ on official forum.

Q. Which things that are currently hardcoded do you plan on changing (e.g. number of men per unit, faction limit, number of factions that are controlled by the Senate?)
A.None. The way factions are managed is more flexible now, but that's something that most people won't notice. Actually, the Senate is gone in BI; by the late 300s they were no longer a significant force in Roman politics, so they won't be 'controlling' anyone.

Yeah, read it this morning.

Gah. It does suck.

All I see here is: Question...Will you improve the game?
Answer.....No we like it how it is, don't you? No? Oh to Bad!

I hope it changes, and I hope i'm correct that more than likely this guy was not trying to reveal anything, so he avoided the questions.

I would guess that they have built a load more units, made some new factions, and used pretty much the same basic game engine. They have tweaked some aspects of the hard-coded parts, but not done anything which would involve a major code re-write. It's an add-on, not a new game, so I suppose that is to be expected.

If the price is under £20, I'll probably buy it, since it will make a much better base for modification with no Senate!!!
