    Default 4.5 Release - Opinions needed!

    Hello, Aanker here!

    It has come to my attention - as well as the rest of the team - that the delay of update 4.5 is growing longer and longer, at the cost of community interest and vigour in the mod. Therefore, I would like to ask you - our team members, fans, mod users and casual players alike - what you think.

    The release of Startpos V2, which currently is the part of 4.5 delaying the release of the update, is really dependant on external factors, and BETA testing added on top of the development time, it looks as if an update 4.5 with the Startpos V2 included might be - to be fairly honest - at least another week or two off.

    Thus, I would like to ask: would a 4.5 release without the new Startpos be of any interest? Startpos V2 would then follow as a separate update. Would you rather like to see a complete release, with Startpos V2 included, or does it not matter either way?

    For me, I rather wait another 2 weeks for the full pack then

    I've been learned that waiting isn't allways bad, in most cases it just means the end product is better

    I too voted to wait. I much prefer seeing mods develop as the team wants, however long, rather than rushed, halfbaked mini versions.

    I'm still patiently waiting for Ran No Jidai. so a couple of weeks is nout.

    Booo

    Seriously though, from an unbiased perspective, I do feel that option 1 would be better. It's best to release one "finished" product that, I feel, the mod community would appreciate more...Even if they don't know it yet

    rather wait already waited this long,why would you want something(in other words) half way done,i rather get all the kinks out of it then play it when it has more options and details.seriously the ones who want it now must be impatient and must not know what it feels like to have the feeling of accomplishment knowing something was completed and benefitted from having a clear conscience knowing the work you accomplished was done right and no problems will arise.

    p.s. besides heading to San Francisco tommorrow for vacation with my family,or how you euros say a "holiday"
    p.s.-p.s. i know somebody is going to counter reply me they always do (espcially the non-americans)...lol

    I think a finished item is better. Probably because i enjoy the campaign more than custom battles or Multiplayer.

    The finished product will give more bugs with less time to fix them. The early product will allow testing for bugs which aren't affected by the startpos changes considerably saving time in the long run.

    We now Beta test. So with the longer wait, won't mean that the mod isn't being tested.

    Admitadly they might miss a few small ones. But nothing big or gamebreaking.

    I would say we wait for a full release, but if there is another major bug/delay we go for an early release.
    To the non-dev people: 4.5 would not be an unfinished or "half-done" update, simply a considerably smaller one That said, I agree with the general tide of the poll.

    Depends on how big is the work on the startpos. If it's a lot left, then I'd say release the battle part of the mod first, or at least a big kinky preview of any kind, and then release the startpos.

    But if the startpos can be finished in, let's say, 2 weeks, I'd say wait for the startpos.....but still release that preview

    I haven't voted either btw, I think we might get new bugs when we get the startpos with whats already done so we should release 4.5 as it is now, then release 4.75 with the startpos. (4.75 would totally replace 4.5)

    I voted 1. Mainly because a polished version is better than a unfinished patch without the new startpos. Question though: will the new map done by Aanker come on 4.5?

    Most certainly it will.

    While I should really remake the buildings in the center of the map, they are actually placed quite adequatly and make out an excellent obstacle for various tactical purposes.

    On a side note though: the map will replace Salamanca Province, owing to the fact that one cannot add new map entries, for some strange reason.

    I would have prefered it if you removed say Waterloo.

    Get rid of the less WW1ish ones first.
