Thanks for the update Erik, please place a strong focus on externalising as much of the internal game data as possible. There is significant untapped potential on the net to playtest and tweak that is currently not being used. Please give the modding community something substantial to work with.

Great news. Can't wait to hear more.

Erik, any small scraps of info would be great. No need to collate all the new features into one big info dump.

I am waiting to see what's coming. My most requested feature would be some sort of minidump log capture/send report feature so we can knock out a lot of stability issues.

I take exception to the word soon. It's so non-committal. Soon, the sun will swell up and devour the Earth....from an astronomical perspective. From a gamer's point of view soon might as well be 20 years and five failed marriages later.

At least we know that something is going on behind the scene.

Erik, are there some details on next update, its really annoying to wait for something and don't know what for exactly.

Expansion ... nice.

Hopefully, the mods are going to be ported over there, then.

Let's see first what the expansion brings, some things could be ported by our valiant modders while other may depend on Elliot solely.

Cool, nice to see a new expansion so quickly. I'm expecting lots of new content and improvements and stuff.

One question: do you need ROTS for the new expansion or is it standalone for the game? If you need ROTS, are you going to make a bundle discount of the ROTS+Expansion combination?

Cheers
