    -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.

    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.

    The last time we did this poll, I voted for waiting. Now I think it's damn near imperative that 0.8 roll out sooner rather than later, and I can say why in a short acronym: MTW2.

    The next TW game is slated for release on November 14, and can be expected to grab the attention of much, if not most, of EB's current player-base for quite awhile. Getting people to start 0.8 campaigns before MTW2 ships will prevent at least some of that shift.

    I'm not sure what to think about having 3 new factions. Wouldn't they already be hitting the hard-coded factions cap with just 2 new ones (with one of the 2 replacing the Yuezhi and the other one taking the Senate slot)? So if we get 3 new factions in EB 0.8, that would mean that one of the old factions (in addition to the Yuezhi) will be removed! So which one will get kicked? Casse? Epeiros? Or maybe Iberia?

    RTW, 167 BC: Rome expels Greek philosophers after the Lex Fannia law is passed. This bans the effete and nasty Greek practice of 'philosophy' in favour of more manly, properly Roman pursuits that don't involve quite so much thinking.

    I remember having posted in this forum a few months ago that I'd bet that MTW2 would be released first then EB 0.8. Someone told me I would be losing that bet. I'm not so sure now. :P Anyways, next month for the reasons already stated.
    BLARGH!
