Ivan said that in the 1/30/16 it will be ready soo it's.... -90 More days bla

ITS A SUPRISE! AMOK CANT TELL YOU!

Guys, I'm terribly sorry for the delay, honestly. I really wish I could have a definitive answer for you, but at this point it's really difficult to estimate. The only thing I can promise it that it won't take as long as you might think
I'm currently really busy with real life stuff and trying to juggle between the two.

It's still coming this month right? Since it was said March-April 2016? Or has it been pushed back?

It should come sometime around 2789, we just need to wait until the Orion Arm Confederacy succesfully conquers Sirius from the Antigonian Empire and then production can continue

2) Proposes lots of Ideas and Suggestions for the game + complains about not enough new features.
3) Gets new features (ie. Upgrades, leaked new strategies)
4) 1 Week later complains about not having map editor not being out.

How do you expect 2 people (Ivan and Amok, Tzu does marketing) to do everything? They have lives, may be hard to believe and probably a shocker to most of you, but it's true.

simple; don't add anything new until the html5 map editor is out. The map editor is 3 years old and porting it to html5 is more important than any new feature/strategy/upgrade.

We are only asking for a html5 editor because the current silverlight editor is non-functional [it was broken when atwar moved into html5] besides porting the map editor to html5 amok should consider the removal of all map-making restrictions and include the ability to create and add custom strategies to custom maps (this would effectively make custom maps independent from the meta-game). If amok were to also include tags (as suggested) and custom resources then The map editor would become a new-game within itself and atwar would turn from a game into a "game hosting service"

But of all those possible features mentioned above, map makers have only asked for tags and a functional html5 map editor.

TLDR:

Map editor could have:
Custom Strategies
Custom Resources
Advanced Recruitment System [Tags]
Functional Html5 Version
Restriction-Free Unit Stats

But of those above we have only requested a Functional html5 editor and Tags

Map editor>Real Life

Its not like we haven't already enough SP-farm maps right? I mean who cares about the 100th remake of UN or RP or WW2?

I mean people complain about map editor but the same people who complain and who rank up to fast because of those SP-farm maps complain about the rank&skill gap between lobbies and want to change the lobbies to their rank&skills? How you mean contradictory...

i am all up for the removal of sp from custom maps. the only maps that should get sp are those approved by the mods, the rest of the maps should have 0% sp by default.

upgrades become meaningless the moment amok removes stat-based restrictions in the map editor.

How are you going to buy strategy and gen upgrades?

Prispeval Zephyrusu, 07.04.2016 at 13:39

How are you going to buy strategy and gen upgrades?

why would you buy strategies and upgrades? Custom maps don't need them if the stat-restrictions were lifted.

Because sometimes a country should have the chance to pick between 2 possible strategies. Also that point doesn't change the issue about the gen upgrades: You can't use the editor to change the gen's abilities.
