I would say release so soon as possible. And if there are a few bugs no problem cause it's still a beta.
A) Release next month. (with all the potential for gaps and bugs)
B) Release when 0.8 is polished. (likely to be several months down the road, at least)

There is always potential for gaps or bugs so i say, release as soon as humanly possible!
Before I make my vote:
Can you guys tell me HOW INCOMPLETE????? PLZ.....
-like give me an example of some scripting issues, or balancing, or whatever.
I need more info before making a smart decition. So far, the info that has been given of how the game will come out in Option A is somewhat vage.
thx EB team
Well, the BETA testers are curently on update 2a and there are A LOT of problems. The EB team has been able to fix a lot of what we found, but I won't know for sure how buggy 0.8 is so far until we receive the next update which will have benefitted from all our labours.Originally Posted by NeoSpartan
Incomplete? Well, buildings and units will likely be far more complete, with relatively few missing building or unit card pictures. Most will all have text, though some will not have translated names and many will likely have grammar/spelling errors (most of our members are not first-language English, and we have a dire need for text editors). The content as far as music, voices, and campaign graphics will be greater.
Our scripts and traits may have chunks missing from what we have done in the past, and/or what we planned to do for this version, because of the difficulty of moving them to 0.8, and the problem caused by the Reinforcement CTD. The three new factions will be relatively bare, but the others will be more fleshed out.
I think the majority of issues will be found in the traits, scripting, and overall playbalance/playability, along with the potential for CTDs.
I voted sooner, because it's a beta, so people should get their hands on it and find the bugs, problems etc.

polish it first!
There always will be the potential for bugs in any mod no matter how polished it may be. So I say release sooner. If it is really buggy people will complain, but it will make finding and ironing out bugs much easier as there will be many more people out there to hunt them down!
Without EB 0.8 the![]()
