[SInflux]

Just checked out the main site and saw Light of the Spire for AI War set for December 

I can't wait already

[orzelek]

Wow nicely spotted

x4000 is that a sneaky expansion really?

[Thumpy]

i was just gonna start a thread about it. what is this expansion all about? given the short term realization i suppose it's nothing too major.

Details coming in the next week.

Well, how long have we been working on CoN/4.0, and that including a full port to a different engine?  Did that fall in the "nothing too major" category?

no, i wasn't implying that, and it wasn't meant in a nasty way.. maybe i phrased it wrongly. sorry! with 'nothing too major' i was meaning that it's likely to be a micro expansion in the same way as CON. i really don't want to belittle the hard work behind it.

[keith.lamothe]

No worries, I was just confused

But yea, the general idea is that it's going to be in the same ballpark as CoN feature-wise.  CoN had some pretty major stuff, just not as many distinct major things as TZR.

So.. which one is officially expansion 3?

[keith.lamothe]

LotS will be 3.

[Vinraith]

Of what?  The '10 and '11 mean the year.  We don't have a definite release date for LotS yet, but probably it will be in the first week or so of December.  Probably.

but then why:


Dec '10: AIW: Light of the Spire

Q2 '11: AI War Expansion 3

Are those two dates different? isnt expansion 3 LotS?
