Maybe x4000 can give us a quick overlook into how many increments he expects to release before hitting 2.0 ? Personally i wouldn't be too sad if the next increments just include additions to ai types/unit types and no new such drastic gameplay changes as in 1.201

I have no idea, to be honest.  I'm not planning any more major revamps like 1.201, though -- that was necessary, but should be the last giant complete-subsystem overhaul.  The other changes coming should be more along the lines of the differences in 1.013 and before.  There won't be any new AI types outside of expansions, but most of the upcoming features are extensions or additions rather than revamps.

Pfft, story is a great -add-on- to any game, as long as it's well written, like X has been saying. For those that are interested maybe someone could start a thread somewhere that has everything that someone wants from a story, and then someone who wants to can write up a good story, then he would post it, and the forum could proofread it.

We could agree on a length of the story, if it should be in chapters, how many characters, factions and all that. It could be fun. Also a good way to bring the forum together. Seeing as we already all hate each others guts, amirite?

If something like this happens, I will mention it to another fellow friend/AIWar gaming friend. He is an English major from N.C. and has conducted a bunch of writing exercises on other forums (Penny Arcade is one).


However, I can't say he would commit, as I haven't mentioned it to him yet. :)

Still, any help is better than no help, for the most part, thanks for the effort!
