The 1.2 Roadmap

[Johan]

Hi guys.

We're working on a 1.2 patch including fixing reported bugfixes and improving gameplay.

The goal is to have it released in late august, but may be first week of september.

Our goals includes.

- New autocontrols for sliders and trade agreements.
- Severe performance improvement.
- New mapmode for simplified terrain. (hoi2 style)
- Day&Night indications
- Cancellation of orders
- Revised Technology Setup for all scenarios.
- Improved Invasion & Theatre AI.

& of course, fixing reported bugs.

So I won't be able to play a game I bought for perhaps a month? - Every other save file stops working and it lags like ****.
Good though that you are taking the problems seriously but, honestly I can’t understand how you missed them to begin with.

 

[Edward D.G.]

Sounds promising--keeping the faith here.

 

[tuore]

Interesting. So we have to wait about 2-3 weeks?

 

[Morbid]

Sounds awesome. Keep diggin!

 

[Polarisan]

Well..

Looks like I'll be able to play a reasonable game in september, when I buy it.

Cheers;
Nick

I can't wait for these more urgent problems to be solved so we can start working on what actually matters, balancing and tweaking the game more to our liking.

Will the performance increase mean dual core support or fixing problems in the existing code?

The difference is of course if it's worth it to upgrade to strong multicores or strong singlecores (well not that many strong singlecores...).

Thank you Johan.

Sounds great! I've given up on the '36 GC for now. I'll give the '39 scenario a go - but then I'll lay low 'til 1.2 saves the day. Still, there is a great and epic game hidden somewhere in there.

take your time

Johan,

Take your time on this patch, we all want a playable game even if it takes a week or two longer for it to be done right.

 

[Rundstedt75]

Sounds good, hopefully the issue of puppets going to war with their overlords is on the bug list.

 

[EnderV]

Thanks

The 2D map mode would be nice, although the accuracy of the map won't get improved.

 

[RELee]

You and the rest of the group are appreciated.

 

[Lordban]

So far, so good

Thanks for the roadmap, Johan.

 

[King of Men]

Take the time you need, Johan. Even the carpers and whiners understand that Things Take Time, they just don't want to admit it to themselves.

<-- Hasn't bought the game, can afford to be philosophical about these things.

 

[LodovicoAriosto]

Many thanks.

Perhaps the "Roadmap" title is a subtle joke about the placement of some items on the map.

But it would be truly funny if someone made a map mod placing Stockholm on the Finnish border.

 

[The Wookiee]

Good things come to those who wait
