Wonderful news for a game with so much potential. I hope that I can start a new game today with patch 1.0.5, if it is released today.

Next week – In addition to hotfix patch 1.0.5 – we’ll be sharing our plans for our first major game feature update, tentatively slated for release in early November.

Looks very promising. With the focus on advisors, I hope the UI for them is updated so that we can see their abilities in tooltips, because it is currently impossible to see their abilities when they are already assigned somewhere, making it hard to know when and where to reassign them.

Very exciting! Thank you :D

Amazing, you guys are so on top of it!!!!

that's quite good stuff for the first big major update, how big will be the earth map compared to the biggest procedurally ones we can have right now? will the resources be manually placed or random (based on biomes)?

please also work on warfare mechanics based on player feedback ( as the retreat from battles), war gameplay can get much more enjoyable with the right modifications!

Hi! I'm eager to try update 1.1. Nice and promising changes! But what about the following:

0. Bring The Line Inf into the Enlightenment (has been accepted, is being implemented)
1. Swap Musketeers and Samurai dudes combat strength - 28 with swords, 33 with guns (but requiring expensive gunpowder for build and for maintenance). It's easy - just swap XML values.
2. Move The Fusiliers to The Enlightenment and get a new Tercio anticav unit (strength around 28-33, does require gunpowder to build, but has gunpowder-free maintenance).
3. Move The Battleship into The Atomic Age from The Enlightenment. If unit upgrade is introduces - it's gonna be a weird Ironclad -> Battleship path. Let it be The Ironclad (The Enlightenment) -> The Dreadnought (The Industrial) -> The Battleship (The Atomic) -> The Guided Missile Cruiser (The Information).
4. There are 2 tiers of submarines, 3 tiers of capital ships and ONLY ONE Destroyer tier in the Atomic a.k.a. WW II - Vietnam age, Make a WW I Destroyer version please into The Industrial Age.
5. There is no advanced Stealth Jet Fighter (while there is an advanced B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber).
6. There is no Trench WWI Bolt Action Rifle guys in The Industrial (a large gap between The Line Infantry - OK it will belong to The Enligthenment and The AR-15 Vietnam GI guys). And there is a Gatling gun in the Atomic Age. Make it into The Industrial Age and make a new MG-42/M2 HMG into The Atomic.
7. Napoleonic style mortars in The Industrial?

WE NEED A COMPLETE NEW SET OF UNITS EACH ERA TO AVOID HISTORICAL GAPS:

So my suggestion to unit sets:
LAND UNITS:
1. Renaissance. Musketeer (Strength 33), Samurai (Strength 28), Tercio - new anticav, Arquebusiers, Cannons.
2. Enlightenment. Line Infantry, Fusiliers, Dragoons, Mortars (from The Industrial Age).
3. Industrial. Trench Infantry (new, Garands or Lee Enfields), Flamethrowers, Gatlings (from The Atomic Age), Early Tanks, WW I Howitzers.
4. Atomic. Seems OK to me

NAVAL UNITS:
Make Ironclad + Ship of The Line (new) + Frigate (Enlightenment)
Make Dreadnought + WW I Destroyer (new) + Submarine (Industrial)
Make Battleship, Carrier, Nuclear Sub, Destroyer (Atomic)

AIR UNITS:
Seems fine to me. But an attack helicopter would be a nice Information era new unit, though different from UAV drones. And a Stealth Jet Fighter new Information Era would be a nice thing.

NUKES
Bring the nukes into the game please!
