Oops, just saw the beta 5 part of your post, Brad. What can we expect with it?
XWerewolfX
Wow, this is so full of awesome!!! The new graphics are stellar and the overall direction is seriously above par. Should we expect beta 5 or is the next stop full release? I have to say, Brad and Co., you guys have really managed to make a good game here. I didn't really know what to expect when Brad started talking about Elemental 2015, but it has seriously exceeded my expectations. I can't wait to review the full product for my website. I think it should score well ;
So, it's dropoing this week, but this changelog hasn't been updated. Can we get some patch notes love, please?
Holy thread necro!
I Don't like it either as implemented.
I'm in the alpha and have found myself seriously intrigued, if not a little overwhelmed. Congrats! You deserve all the success in the world, Soren.
I can't tell what half of the research does as I simply can't read it. It's frustrating. I'm sure what seems like a small bug to me must be perplexing you all, but it's a real turn off for me. Please fix it ASAP.
I see a lot of new ground cover and something I've been asking for: a visual representation of your city expansion. This is just fantastic and really looks better than I could have hoped. Do you have a fancy screen for the SK's representative that you can share with us? I'm very excited to see that. Those faction screens are OUT OF THIS WORLD. Whatever you're paying those artists, DOUBLE it ;) BRAVO!
We put this together for everyone: http://www.explorminate.com/4x-games-of-2015/
What if I said that medically needed Beta 4 to live? Would you make it happen? :) Also, can we please see the new minor faction screens?
Are we going to see them in beta 4?! The only acceptable answer is yes. :)
Can someone confirm that we'll see equally awesome shots for each minor faction?

For those of you that don't follow him on Twitter, here's a beautiful screenshot to feast your eyes on! Screenshot WOW
Hate to burst bubbles, bit my sister's ex-boyfriend used to work at Bethesda and they had only JUST started working on art assets when he left a few months ago. Not expected in 2015.
Me, please!
Hmm, units moving in to the same square still :(
/1,000% agree I love tall empires. The Cultists from Endless Legend, Venice from Civ V, etc. Please.
It seems to me after playing as them and after watching them play in my Terrans play through, their need to build their people is a serious detriment. It prevents them from building the labs and factories, etc. that keeps them in the game. Playing as them, it felt like I was always playing catchup. Any one else having similar experiences?
Had Varda as the Commander. Ran in to Varda on the map. Had two Vardas. That's kinda lame.
THIS IS GREAT! Good work! Excited to see the changes!
It's the way in which he reported it that rubbed some of us wrong. Read his post. It's full of entitlement. Obnoxious and asinine? Right, okay.
What the guy above me said about the look is spot on. What I like most about the game is how differently the sovereigns are gameplay-wise, but I'd like to see it go further. More unique units and even unique city looks for each sovereign. More distinctiveness and assymetry between each sovereign. What I like least is how empty the world currently feels. The minor factions are still seemingly mindless. I'm also not a big fan of how each playthrough feels
[quote who="Rand Johnson" reply="52" id="3511204"] Quoting Larsenex, reply 50 Bellack, it was always going to be that way from the beginning. There was no tactical combat or even any mention of giving orders. However in an expansion after release we will get ship captains that we can give orders to on fleet behavior.
[quote who="sbourges" reply="6" id="3510039"] Any tentative date on when the Beta 3 will be available? [/quote] Brad said next Thursday on Twitter.
