Well, since Stardock typically releases stuff on Tuesdays or Wednesday, I guess we will have to wait to the very last date. That is tommorrow :) And about having the time to play - tell me about it. I went on a business trip and had to spend four hours in the train... working, when I could be playing ;)

Well, IslandDog said during the yesterday stream something like: Watch dedicated founders forum for upcoming info on beta. So hopefully the word "upcoming" referred to hours rather than days or weeks :)

Thanks, Kristy. Few questions, although partially answered by our friend DevildogFF: 1) Any changes to alliances mechanism? 2) Any changes to combat mechanism - small vs. big ships, evasion etc.? 3) How about changes to military starbases? Making them more competitive?

Hi guys, I strongly feel that Stardock is gradually loosing credit with this Founders beta thing. It is not about not being patient, we are all adults, it is about being honest and open with your (VIP) community. You should not really keep these people in the dark, or not even bait them with 'mid February'. Stardock, we need some community management! ...and preferably beta as well ;)

[quote who="Publius of NV" reply="61" id="3669656"] Was it GC1 or GC2 that had the mini freighters that could be attacked and destroyed? If I recall correctly after the mini freighter was destroyed 3 times (might be off on the number) you got a message that the trade route was being discontinued because it was too dangerous. I liked that mechanism. [/quote] Indeed, that was great and we need this mechanics back. It put on another layer of strategy when playing (againts) merc

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="57" id="3669007"] Some of the team, including Brad, is at GDC this week. Once they get back I'll remind them of this thread. [/quote] Thanks, Island dog.

[quote who="Avatar137" reply="56" id="3667896"] Oh for God's sake please don't! You already derailed the thread with your epic rant and now you want to continue to do so with your personal tests of your mod? Seriously? I for one (and I'm sure I'm not the only one) could care less about your mod test results. Go to the modding section and start a new thread and stop polluting this one please! This is about Crusade, not your personal mod and the issues you have with it... <

Really nice discussion. So to sum it up, I feel that the first necessary steps are: fixing the alliance mechanics (and thus making diplomatic focus "my big friends protect me" workable) fixing the treaties, or at least their description I, for myself, would like to be able to set the duration of pacts and treaties , currently fixed to 50 turns. Why not use choice of e.g. 10 turns, 20 turns, 50 turns, indefinite? Plu

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="14" id="3665909"] I'll be doing surgery on all of the AI including diplomacy. Feel free to create a thread dedicated to that. As some of you know, I eat up your saved games and feedback like candy. [/quote] Thanks Frogboy, AI is one thing, but I think the featuring itself should be revamped. Please see charon's post above, this is exactly it!
