Conquest of Elysium 3 dev log

[Strabo]

Dev log says, that CoE3 has became version 3.00. Does this mean, that the game will be released sooner or am I just getting too excited?

But if the base is 5, the relationship becomes more difficult.
I always liked all the details in Dom3, and the ability to imagine a creature by comparing its stats to a human always appealed to the nerd in me.

True enough. But Pros and Cons.
The range on Dom3 allowed for far more variation. But it also led to the continual complaints of imbalance and incessant modding to "fix" the "massively broken" game by tweaking things 1 point up and down. The game would never have a chance to seem to satisfy most of the players.

Good catch.
But that note really means that 3.00 has been released to the beta testers.

Exactly. And once we've given it a spin to verify there aren't any showstoppers in there, Illwinter will start the process of getting it available through Desura.

The release date is still scheduled for 20th, but if it does come out earlier, the progress page is the place to watch.

So a relase a few days early is still possible ? Good to know, thanks for the information.

My F5 key however does not thank you and will probably die soon and need to be raised.

Take your time! I'd much rather wait a quantum (week? month?) than be plagued with things-to-be-fixed

Agreed. Better wait a bit longer than getting buggy product earlier, even though I'm feeling like a kid at Christmas eve.


To the beta testers:
Are there units that are affected by season(s), like in Dom3 (like extra strong in winter)? Especially when the seasons are much bigger part of CoE3?

[Edi]

So far none that I have seen and one would expect the Winter Wolf to be stronger in winter.

I just noticed on Desura that the release got bumped from the 20th to the 19th.

SQUEEEEEE!!!

Is there going to be an official forum?

[Edi]

No final word yet, but presumably the Desura forum.
