Hmm wait.
From what i remember, GPG and Stardock had a contract to release 5 major updates over a year long period.
I think 1.1 was the first of these major updates.
Which sorta leaves little over 6 months for 4 major updates, including the much mentioned 1.2.
Unless that is of course, that the terms of the contract have been well...... sort of relaxed.
GPG do have supcom2 to develop at the foremost. If they have indeed considered the game "as it is", and simply assign tasks based on Stardock persistent nudging, I don't know how such specific outcomes may be achieved.
To clarify. I love this game. I don't care when the 2 new demigods comeout. I have fun playing it either way.
I still think theres some hope for the game.
edit. i still think theres some hope for the game, if GPG carry out what it is contracted to do. Reading Sorian's posts do make it clear just how much time and effort it takes to make such high quality assets, in accoradnace with the producation values of the game. What I always wanted to know, but it probably hasn't really been asked. What would major update 1.4 and 1.5 possibly contain, if 1.3 is clan wars?
