Slowest Development Ever
They've been trying to add a single building (Tavern of Lost Souls) since EA launch. With every update, they're only adding languages and tiny tweaks :P

If I had known I was buying the final version of the game (with or without tavern of lost souls) I would not have bought the game. I was expecting the game to expand and improve over time.

Im with you there, but this is not even close to slowest development. go see a game called project zomboid now thats a "ea" nightmare 6 years working on Npc - 2 Years on animations.

I still think that these guys are enjoying the early money on vacations probably gonna drop that tavern by christmas, current work day must be around 2 hours x day.

I'm familiar with other nightmare-ish projects. Zomboid included, but it doesn't nullify this incompetence. Trust me, I'm still waiting for Bannerlord.

You shouldn't be having vacations with your sales money from an EA game until you roll out the final version, or at least do it with turns while most keep working on the development.

Agree with OP I would not have bought this game if i knew they had no intention of adding more features and content this is ridiculous.

Indeed sadly until steam changes how "ea" games works there is nothing to do after you pass the refund time and thats exactly why early games need other set of rules to grand refunds, they are not gonna go faster because there is still a cult of guys stuck in map 1 and praising the game because they were stuck for 500h

Im not nullifying the incompetence and slow development since I know is there specially after such a succesful launch, but I wouldnt called slowest developer ever specially if you know zomboid and bannerlord... heheh.

They still have a long way to catch those 2 and let's hope they finally add something other than languages this year...

Just like your claim about horde attacks, this is also completely made up on your end. There are games that were in EA for years, this is not even 6 months. Why are you so remarkably dishonest?

It was no secret that the early access release of Survival mode was the main bit of content that was going to be available. The campaign, which is what they are working on is going to be released in its entirety on full release of the game.

This flat out is libel.

They are building a campaign along with other stuff. The thing that is taking the longest is making the game dead gud. If they bung out any old rubbish just to shut us up then we should complain.

they did talk about the tavern in their last update -- it sounds it wasn't working well with the game as it was originally planned and they are now talking about these 6 wonder buildings..

so yeah, they hit a snag with it.. and are taking a new approach.. it happens
probably is better for us that they are willing to admit something isn't going to work and re-think it. rather than just going with it, cause 'that was the plan'.

The Devs are working on the campaign, which is a big project. They aren't going to piecemeal it out.

If you don't like that? Quite frankly it doesn't matter what you think.

The devs just can't win. They try to fix bugs? They are "patching to much"
Try to focus on the campaign? "Abandoned cash grab"
People not able to read dates or F.A.Q.? "Worst devs ever"

Mindless whiners just lying through their teeth to make the devs look bad for less than a 6 month early access project.

It's fine to criticize devs, but if your statements are just straight up lies then no one should even consider your opinion for a second.

No they havn't

They have been working on campaign. They have a slow development curve and only release polished content. (Lords of Xulima).

They 'rushed' this out knowing they would be working on campaign (the FOCUS of the core game) by popular demand. I'll be suprised if we get the campaign (part of it) before fall.

Already had my moneys worth out of the game 10 times over, so everything else is a gift. :)

You are not gonna play the campaign in early access thats saved for launch probably...

They havent release anything since the game was launch other than barrels and 1 unit.
Tavern is the only content "coming " with some "units" . Pretty vague and pointless if they gonna need 4-5 more months for another unit and building

No one complaints for bug fixing but even then pathfinding is still garbage , control is limited and even after all that , the campaign even if we could play it tomorrow is gonna be probably not the main focus of this type of "rts"...

Game need content fast and people need to chill out op wasnt lying , just exaggerated and a bit extremist for fanboys zealots...

No one complains about the bug fixing? Well that's just a lie. We've seen many threads complaining about no patches. Or complaining about too many patches.

Exaggerations are lies. It's the twisting of truth for the purpose of a biased argument. And of course if people don't just capitulate to the agenda of another person they are "fanboys".

The devs need time for the campain and the new content and they get it from me :) ....
