    3 weeks? That means 3 preview or more, will you run out of factions?

    Mmmm, I wrote this thread quite carefully so the team could maybe give a minimum time to completion WITHOUT giving a deadline (a maximum time to completion.) Obviously if you start thinking that EB open beta WILL be released in 3 weeks, you're almost certain to be disappointed

    i'm guessing 4 weeks..
    when they say:' at least not within 3 weeks (being optimistic, probably)' it's 3-4 weeks, or much much higher..since they'll be having hard-code problems...

    I think we had hoped to release it in May. Or maybe it was June when we first hoped to release it. Although "we" isn't appropriate there, since I only joined the team two weeks ago.

    We might have to be creative if we want to keep up the previews. Like maybe we could revisit factions we've already done.

    Two or three weeks at the earliest?

    Wow! That's great! *knocks on wood*


    Well, take your time. I, for one, want a playable beta, so I'll be patient. Unlike my query about green arrows. (BTW, are you guys removing those? )


    And to Kayapo, I know you guys are working on great changes through the trait system to make the generals more "RPG" lovable. I think that is terrific, and I thank you for your hard work.

    Thanks to all you guys, BTW.

    Just one request. Can you keep us informed of whether what you're testing works or not, as soon as you know? Good news or bad news, it's nice to be kept informed.

    If you promise to pray to Zeus, Taranis or Jupiter at your bedside each night then we might tell you if it works

    Who gave you our traits system so you could take that screenshot?

    Ah! the Generals! they are numerous, but not good for much (especially if they're Languorous)!

    Malrubius is the one you should thank.

    I'm only proud to be helping with this part of the game. To me it already looks incredible, and it still has room to grow...(big_jonh and jerby idea for example...and others...). I if you've always wanted a more RPG like approach to your generals I have a feelling that you might be pleased with the results.
