I cant wait to see a new patch for this game. The AI needs a some twitching, we need a few more #commands on the mods, a couple of maps, two or three more razes, some fixes on the UI, and im sure there is more. Im sure im not asking too much. The game is already great but some patching would really help.

Any one has any info on the upcoming patch?
For info, see the link in the previous post.

As for asking too much, I personally think it rather arrogant and in bad taste to make one's first post on a forum into basically a demand for
  • AI improvements (very hard to do even at the best of times, but especially since no mention of what should be improved and how)
  • 2-3 more races (each one requires a fair bit of work)
  • UI changes (which in any bigger measure will be tedious, mind-numbing and work intensive)
  • 1-2 maps (assload of work on each map even if the map doesn't contain specials)
  • bug fixes (reasonable request, as long as you don't expect that all will be fixed all at once)
  • extra mod commands (desirable, but not critical)
  • an unspecified demand for more stuff
No, not being too demanding at all.

Just to put things into perpective, for most games this kind of thing would be an expansion pack with a price tag of $40 or $50. I know I should not be too harsh on new people, but get a goddamn grip and THINK before you blurt things out. Do you have any idea of just how offensive that kind of a ridiculous list of demands is when presented in a way that makes it seem as if you feel having all of those demands filled is nothing less than your due. It's guaranteed to piss people off no end.

Just to set things straight, I do NOT have anything against you personally and I'm glad to see we have new members signing up. I do wish that people did not take as much for granted as they do and paid some attention as to how what they post comes across.
