At the moment, should I get the original+winter of the wolf or Zen edition?

While I will definitely buy the zen version when it's around 90% done, I was wondering how close it is to that point by now, or if I should stick with the original for now

Hi!

I usually give it some time before replying to such topics so other users could leave their opinions, but since nobody's jumped on it, I'll respond:

• Here's a similar question on Reddit where there was a vote on which version is better according to other users.

  
  Remember this was a while ago (version 1.55.2 feedback) and the game was greatly improved since then (version 1.57.3).
  
  

• What is Zen Edition, and who's behind it

The first thing to highlight is any support for the legacy version of the game (BR:WOTW 2001-2002) is deprecated, and all the focus is on "Zen Edition" (this game). For some that is a turn-off because the game changes constantly here and there, and for the others it's the opposite.

It's important to define "around 90% done" - what do you mean by that? The game, as it is right now, is Battle Realms: Winter Of The Wolf that goes beyond in terms of development. It has everything the legacy game would offer, and even more. Add to that multiple monitor support, native full hd resolution, (mostly) working multiplayer and tons of improvements and fixes that you can read about in our changelogs here.

If you're worried about tech-issues, we have found the solutions or at least workarounds for most of them:

That's the least I can say, of course your best option is to read the changelogs and decide which of the two you would prefer.

I hope this helps! Cheers.

Well that helped greatly, thank you

Zen Edition?

Even after reading through the description texts, I didn't understand what exactly this Zen Edition is supposed to be. Is it a bug-fixing project? Some kind of provisional remaster? Or something else entirely?
I've seen pictures of "high-poly" models (If you can call them high-poly.) in the STEAM NEWS HUB. Does this mean that the graphics will be slightly reworked and improved? It's nice that widescreen resolutions (ultra-wide as well?) are finally supported. But what about the UI and controls? Will this be or has this been revised as well?

Thank you for not answering my questions. And thank you for moving my thread to somewhere else where no one will ever read it. - Well done!
But as they say, "No answer is also an answer."

TLDR; Zen edition is in active development and will receive updates, take note that the devs are prioritizing on making multiplayer stable and fixing bugs (gameplay, resolution, multiplayer, etc.), plans for better graphics are there but priorities first
