Great patch with lot of cool stuff Alex!

But I just want to say, I think combat side of the game received enough development time for now.  Sure, it can get better with more effort put into it, but I think the game could use more meta-game related contents to put this excellent combat system in context.  Not saying that combat is perfect nor it doesn't need any tweaks, since anything can be improved... rather, I think the meta game aspect of economy/systems needs more attention now that combat has been refined far ahead of the game's overall status.

It's like we have this awesome sports car (the combat system) but just an empty parking lot (the single bare bone system we have now) to drive it around in! ;)

Alex said he wanted to finish the combat part before starting other things, that way there is 1 polished thing in the game instead of 2 unfinished things. And as the combat part is basically done, I would expect non combat stuff to be next. Im hoping for officers and/or character skills.

Thanks for the feedback - I'm in general agreement :)

My plan is to make a few tweaks and bugfixes based on your guys' feedback and reports - without taking too long at it - and then move on to campaign stuff.

Well, this is the latest (as far as I know) that Alex has said about the next version

Now that 0.53's released, what're you planning for 0.54(or whatever number it will be), Alex? :P

Things and stuff. Of the campaign variety. (Yes, that's as specific as I'm going to get right now.)


At the moment, I'm waiting for something to break horribly so that I have to fix it, and hoping against all hope that it won't happen :)

The way that I understand it, he was wanting to get the combat more or less nailed down then start on the fluffy stuff of the game. That way you start with the ultrafun gory business as the world gets established. A metaphorical tribalism to metropolitan living, as it were (yeah, that probably makes no sense, I'm rambling now :P)


EDIT: ...or what Alex said right there. That's more latest than what I said

I mean the actual URL - I'm thinking that perhaps the page is cached on your end so you're not getting the right link. That would explain the error.

Can you try this instead?

Couldn't hurt - or try it in another browser. This is very odd... Amazon S3 (which is where the file is being hosted) may be having some sort of hiccup, I suppose. If I may ask, where are you located?
