1) The automatic victory conditions may now be over ridden. In games of less than 365 days, the player must play until the number of turns in the scenario has been played. In games of greater than 364 days, if one side achieves an automatic victory, a new option is available on the end game screen, “Continue Playing”. If selected the game will then continue to the number of turns in the scenario have been played.

Just teasing! You asked......

Great news, by the way. Now I can prepare my outer defenses against those yankee imperialist dogs who come to destroy our culture and pollute our gene pool by forcing themselves on our women!

So what game are you playing that models the 8th & 9th USAAFs in Britain during WWII? Just kidding.

Possibly because the victory level criteria may not be stored in the scenario database files? Apart from that it could well be that some thought has gone into the setting of the VP points for all the bases so that the victory levels give a good reflection of a game won. A toggle has been added to allow players to continue if they so desire, any players that wish to play to different ratios could always try a quick calculation, couldn't they?

Status: offline 		Kid,

It is nice to see a gaming Co. that actually adjusts things for the user community. Hats off to all.

I also have to say its refreshing that a gaming Co. actually is willing to discuss a feature
that will go into an upcoming patch. Others treat it as a trade secret for some reason that has always escaped me.

I regularly surf the WITP Wishlist. If I may oversimplify, of all the various suggestions, I believe they fall into four categories.

1) User Interface/Information Flow (Presentation)
2) Game Play
3) Map Enhancements
4) Other (aka, everything else)

Given the depth and scope of this game, it can and will take a long time to play. That's both good and bad (mostly good though). However, I think part of the bad can be mitigated by many of the suggested improvements concerning in the first category.
Navigating the informatiobn flow would greatly reduce the "cycle time" of the frustrating part of the game and permit more time to the fun part (thinking and planning).
So, all that being said, has/is/will MatrixGames post a listing of the features likely to be introduced in the next patch. This doesn't have to be a definitive list/cast in stone. Wouldn't trust it anyway, things happen. But could be broken down into listings of

a) Probable incorporation
b) Want too, but may/may not make this cut
c) Want too, but won't make this cut
d) Back burner (haven't decided)

See I didn't ask to hard question which nobody is willing answer (When ??????????)
Because I already know the answer ...... It depends !

Keep up the good work !
