This forum has been very helpful in collecting suggestions for the 1.3 patch. So helpful, in fact, that after producing six beta patches, I grew overwhelmed with the sheer volume of suggestions that I wanted to do but knew I probably couldn't.
So, like any other rational person, I solved the problem by ignoring it entirely.
Eventually, an even more rational person (known in these parts as Zeitgeist) suggested an even better solution. (I know! I didn't think it was possible either!)
The plan:
This is where you can help!
I've set up a wiki page at http://crystalempiregames.com /development/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.FTG13Planning (link intentionally broken because I know very little about wiki administration and I don't want to invite spambots).
All the unimplemented suggestions in the main thread (and any others you might know of), plus all unfixed bugs, need to be cataloged there. Once this step is substantially complete, development on 1.3 can finally continue.
What say you?

The plan:
- Collect all the suggestions and known bugs into one place.
- Estimate how many hours each will take (or "time units" - the main thing is the relative difficulty) and the priority. This will take into account the amount of time I've spent on partially completed tasks.
- Set a definite goal of X hours (I haven't determined this number yet, but it shouldn't change once decided).
- Choose whatever fits into this budget, and no more.
- Do those things and then stop. For the Glory 1.3 is done and FTG gets no more development.
