The fact that the battle planner is not firm enough to have been included in a dev. diary fills me with dread. It means it is going to be a glitchy band-aid rather than a core element of game-play. At this point it seems unlikely to me that the AI will use them at all, and that the talk of being able to use intelligence to steal battle plans is just smoke being blown up our butts.

It seems to me that everyone is forgetting that the last Dev Diary was in early November, so just because it wasn't ready then doesn't mean that it isn't ready now.

putting myself in Paradox's shoes for the moment, they probably figured that the video segments were enough of a demonstration for now, and that they would rather show some of the games other new features first, before jumping back to something we've already seen.

This is just pure speculation on my part, of course.


As far as what i hope for in the next dd: supply/logistics would be nice, but I'll take any scrap of info at this point.

Its been quiet for way longer then I can handle. I would literally settle for a dev diary covering what they do on lunch breaks at this point.
Shoot, I wish I still had the link to what breakfast was one day. It was on reddit a while back... not that I could actually link it as...

Is the next dev diary tomorrow or one week from tomorrow :confused:?
Podcat said to look to the Waning crescent moon of January for it.

Hold on a second, they listened to us? SAWEET!!!

Well not really as this has been known since like October or something like that.
Podcat talked about that they was in the third iteration of the system, that they had a new system that was different from the demo.

Politics/diplomacy/technology or maybe infrasturcture as DD choices I could think of.

Well because based on previous DD's anything devs say will lead to angry posts, misinterpretation and fabulation by at least some posters, just throw us lots of random pictures and/or a video and we will make our own, collective effort dev diary, and then you can correct us next week :D

I hope the DD shows us the new system they've got for selecting spiffy uniforms and military decorations for our ministers and officers.........NOT!

It seems to me that everyone is forgetting that the last Dev Diary was in early November, so just because it wasn't ready then doesn't mean that it isn't ready now.
Plus the fact that truly showcasing a new element in the game (instead of revisioned ones like we have seen so far) requires that the element AND ALL SUPPORTING ELEMENTS be 100% feature complete.
