Good day all. Today is our first development diary post-release of Cradle of Civilization. I'll be talking about our immediate plans going forward and what can be expected with regards to future plans, bugfixes and looking towards 1.24.

So Cradle of Civilization was released last week and we're very pleased to read your feedback on it. It's heartwarming to see our game still growing in popularity and our team has been taking on what we've read from you. It has also been great fun to see so many people playing in 1.23 enjoying the work we've put in the Middle East. Many players advancing forward as the Mamluks or taking a minor of their choice to form Persia from the disintegrating Timurid Empire has been a real pat on the back (I never imagined Mamluks could become such a popular pick in EU's lifetime)


With regard to what we are up to now and our future plans, we are working our way through bugs reported from the community with a view to releasing an opt-in patch to fix some of the more glaring issues in 1.23 / Cradle of Civilization. This patch will be available, if all goes to plan, within the week.


When the immediate glaring issues are stamped down on, we will continue working on other issues as well as some enhancements for the game which will come in the 1.24 update. 1.24 will be a free update to the game much like the Hungary and Denmark updates, containing bugfixes and perhaps a few added goodies.


As you may have noticed, we have been giving our update versions names for a while now. So far we've had Prussia, Denmark, Ming, Hungary, Russia and Persia. Where will we look to next?


Where oh where oh where.jpg



Where indeed?
 
I am pretty sure the Philippines will receive an update, if that map is of any indication. Already I can see a couple of new provinces (Manila got split into two for example), and there seem to be at least three new tags in the hitherto uncolonised islands.
 
Why am I the only one suspecting that the camera is looking towards Korea? The rest looks like the camera is about to rush past them, aka Phillipines is not really in the focus.
 
Out of curiousity, can't you just release multiple fix patches? Some stuff is likely very easy to fix, while other stuff is harder. Just release them in two parts so that we get at least some of the fixes asap.

And here I was thinking that within the week sounds pretty good.
 
Hopefully this means the Philippines (and presumably surrounding areas) are going to see some much-needed love!
 
Oh god, please, be an Oceania/Australia update.
Australia? Wouldn't Australia pretty much be as it is, colonial regions.
 
As cool as the South Pacific will be, PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD could you guys throw some love at south, central, and east Africa? Even just some better soldier sprites would make a world of difference.
