Field of Glory: Empires | Sign ups for the final patch

[kronenblatt]

Hi Philippe! Could you give us an update of the timeplan for this final patch? Was quite some time since it was announced and have been waiting with the modding. Is the beta started or maybe even concluded?

Thought I applied to this beta test but never heard back... so I just re-applied! Hoping to help with the upcoming patch!

UPDATE - Please disregard, I learned about the open beta patch and installed it!

I assume Pocus is concentrating all his energies on the first FoGK Burghers & Bombard patch but I really think FoGE's open beta patch should be uploaded to Steam ASAP.

Any patch notes to share. I downloaded the beta patch, but have not applied it yet; currently in a multiplayer game.
Thank you.

Where’s that open beta patch currently available for download and installation?

Look in your Slitherine library! Beta 1.5.5 is listed as one of the download options.
