Opening up our roadmap for the game!

[WhiteMoon Dreams]

We're planning what's coming for Tactics in the next year and we're building out the roadmap based on information and suggestions from the community - mainly our forums. Everything's going up on Trello - features, improvements, which units come next, etc. We encourage you guys to join the discussions on our forums or keep discussing here and we'll keep building out the board.

Vote on the things that interest you - this is how we know what we should be focusing on next (outside of bugs and balancing). We definitely are prioritizing the KS goals higher, but more of the project is moving concurrently and there are new things that can get done in tandem with other goals.

Smaller bugs and balance issues won't be on the board due to us having a different system for tracking them internally and all of them generally being a higher priority.

We're continuing to build this out and this is a great opportunity to help drive it!

*sigh* long gunners...
Anyway, What is the point in putting suposed Apotheosis DLC content in that pole? Shouldn't you make it BEFORE other things that were not yet promised? Because logic.
Cryx Warcaster? Why to even make a poll for that? It is either Skarre or derp. Everyone love damn horned pirate ladies.

Yep, just because it's voteable, it doesn't always mean that the priority will get shifted if it's a Kickstarter goal. The Apotheosis stuff is higher priority than the other non-KS stuff, so it'll likely get released before the other units. And while it may seem redundant to have them up there when you know they're coming, you'll also see us add release dates to things so you can know what patch you can expect to see them in.

New MAPS?

We're getting ready to do something special with maps, so we'll add those when we get that part going. Should be in the 1/23 update.

Looked at both, all I can say is "AWWW YISSSS" for these lists please me greatly in content.

Focus on performance and optimization. Please. Just only on that. I want to be able to play this game one day. I want to love this game. I was an Early Access person because I believed in it. I still do... but like I posted in my thread... performance is terrible and it's really not my computer.

"You have "Windowed" and "Fullscreen Windowed" but not plan "Fullscreen". I don't understand why?

As you may have seen from my review, this game remains poorly optimized and unplayable for me and it's not my rig. Even on the lowest settings it runs okay for a while and then slows to a crawl.

Please concentrate on optimizing the performance of the game and adding a "Fullscreen" option before anything else, for the love of God and all that is holy.

I want to love this game. I want to play this game. But... sigh... this is so painful."

[Rakesh]

Yes please, just concentrate on what is most important and ignore the rest for now.

Optimization and AI is what I think is most important, especially since there is a Single Player component to the game, if there weren't, then well you would be free to keep adding more units to the MP roster.
I was a KS backer and the only reason I backed this is the SP component.

[Harukage]

The AI Is actualy beter now. Casters are using spells, hide and run away when threatened. It is far less suicidal now. That was about skirmish.
Can't realy say about campaign since it was designed around the old AI backing up it's incompetence with overwhelming numbers. Making AI smarter will make the campaign impossibly hard.

[Tamur Krjal]

I hope they add the Mariner and Buccaneer for Mercs!

[👽🐬 Old Black Nerd🐬👽]

I'm not talking about the AI, i'm talking about making the game playable and having people able to run it.

I'm not really sure of your system specs, Marxy, but it's gone from 20ish on any and all settings in the first days of EA to 60 frames all the time at max. Mind you, I've got a pretty good rig, but they have indeed done quite a bit of work on that front.

[Harukage]

Nah. Give us more units. Skarre 4 life, Nyss Hunters and Lady Aiyana & Master Holt. And something Rhulic.

+1 totally agree

[Procrastinating Gamer]

Just looked over the newer stuff added to the list - nice choices (although I don't know why Stormblade Infantry was added to Cygnar's warrior list when we already have them in-game) but I think you mis-spelt the names of two of the Rhullic 'jacks - they're called Grundbacks, not Groundbacks; Gorten Grundback's from the same clan that designed them.

[Harukage]

*sigh*
Lady Aiyanna and Master Holt get so little love...
At least people are voting for Cylena Raefyll & Nyss Hunters. Though voting for them as a separate units feel kinda weird.
