I did fight in the provinces and found it impossible. I said I like the new fighting system, not the enemy squad sizes. These are two entirely different things, even though they were implemented at the same time.
We do have some things in mind, and are considering some potential changes in this area, but it's too soon to share them at this point, as they are not final yet. But at this point it seems unlikely for the timers to be reduced.
We did indeed announce 3 packages, but they were not implemented as packages as clearly, unfortunately. Still, most of the things that we planned to do have been implemented so far on our International server, and some more stuff on Beta, too. Where we're at right now is the stage where we can start finalizing all the battle-related updates. We are not done yet, though - I'll make that clear before we get more comments on that.
We will have at least two more updates on International with new things regarding the battle system, mostly consistent of new units and new unit levels. Other topics we're still working on include improving the battle AI, so that auto-battle becomes a more viable option again. Also, we hope to do some work on the battlefields themselves, in order to prevent obstacles being more of a nuisance than intended: you should be able to fight the enemy units, rather than the battlefield's terrain. But those two topics are still very much a work in progress, and are not done just yet.This is also because not all units and unit levels have been released yet. We release the units one level at a time, so that we can offer the technologies as optional at first. That has the downside of not being able to use the highest level of the unit right away, though.
Thanks. It's also not perfect yet, because we're not 100% done implementing it.
This is to prevent what Mykan explained as well. If we would have implemented all at once, you would have had a lot of technologies that would not have been optional when first implemented. While our current solution is not perfect (yes, we know), it is a lot better than the alternative.
Yes, the idea to have the notifications menu available when visiting someone else's city has definitely been forwarded. Fingers crossed that we see it ingame some day!
Moving people on the world map can currently only been done manually by our developers, since it has not been automated yet. We do plan to automate it, so that it happens around a set time, likely to happen every week. But for now this is not the case yet.
But, to answer your question: yes, it is still happening and no, we did not give up on it.We were told only the first move was manual, and all others would be automatic, another aspect of the misinformation from Inno
The problem is that some of the new units come WAY TOO LATE in the game. The Ranger is a perfect example of that: All it is good for is scouting the battlefield because of his high Initiative. Apart from that he is useless because of his low HP and damage. Same with the Orc HM unit. Both are units that will remain useless for weeks/months unril we get their upgrades (this is especially problematic for the Ranger, as we won't get any upgrade for him until the next Guest race at the earliest).
