Will there be an update to this game? I have heard that in march a big update will roll out?

Does anyone have any info on this?

Thoughts?

So far im loving this game!

Hello.

No big-updates in March as far as I can tell. However, March is the month where the devs will starting working on the game(s) again. So, after they patch-up what's left of the single-player game, they will focus on Factions. I'd say ~May is a safe guess for any update of considerable size.

There's several small things that need addressing in Factions, as well as some small balance tweaks. I think that first-in-priority is an "update" of the battle UI, using the more advanced version of the Saga. Then, new content (units? maps?) and hopefully new features (1-vs-AI? coop-vs-AI? 2-vs-2? items? heroes? city-building? ladder-system?) will probably start showing up. Devs say they got plenty of ideas. We shall see :-)

Another question.... How is the community? Is it still going strong? I have no problems finding matches at any hours of the day. Just wondering if the community is there and strong.

Well, I wouldn't say its strong at the moment. There is a substantial amount of players in Factions, growing mainly due to the "renown" of the single-player game. So, yeah, match-finding at most power-levels is fine. But, a lot of Factions veterans got bored from the staleness (almost 9 months now) and some KS-backers that "got their game" have become silent. So, most of these are probably waiting for the "promised" Factions-revamp to come back...

Thank god, Factions has been needing an update for such a long time now, hopefully it'll also give it some more popularity.

Sorry to disappoint you, but it seems that the updates for Faction will have to wait longer :-( Check out this thread -- http://stoicstudio.com/forum/showthread.php?3107 , especially post #10 by the dev-team's tech-director. In short, no ETA on that Factions update, as of this moment...
