From mention on the progress page it goes to beta-testing. Each new feature has to be tested under Windows, and Mac, and Linux at least before it can be released.

How long is the beta-testing?

How long?
Its a bunch of VERY dedicated people who use their free time to try out the list of things that have changed, and try to find if they impacted other things also. Its kindof hard to put times on that.

I'm sorry, didn't mean to sound impatient or anything. Just curios that's all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

No prob. People dont know so I grabbed the chance to mention it. Im amazed at our bunch of beta testers. They played this game almost daily for a year before anyone else saw it, and yet here it is almost another year and they still jump as soon as its posted that there is a new patch for them to test. I wasnt that dedicated even when I WAS paid to do it.

Yes, much love to the beta team. You are doing a grand job guys. Thank you! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image.../beerglass.gif

Odd numbers are replaced by an even number if the beta group finds anything that must be fixed before release. There seem to be a few things that should be fixed, so a 3.08 is likely, but not too far away. A couple of days or a week. I'll be gone for the weekend, so I'm not sure what JK decides while I'm gone.

Anyway, nex patch after this one will not take as long as this one. Fomoria is almost done, but was not included in the 3.07 patch. Thus the next patch is already on the horizon so to speak.

Re: New Patch For Dominions 3: The Awakening!
 

Cool! I'm really excited about the new patch, really looking forward to it.

Just to whet some more appetites, the DB is also going to get an update after the new patch, to include all the new units, statfixes, corrections of my own mistakes and other stuff. It'll also handle the oldage issues correctly now that the aging mechanics are fully known.
