Is the game dead?

[Ladislav]

I recently picked up this game, and I am just wondering whether the development is now closed? Thanks!

There will probably be occasional updates to fix bugs or add some additional features, but no further DLCs are planned.

I guess a game is dead (which is a ugly word) when you can't or don't want to play it.
The FoG2 series is still a great game with tons of armies and DLCs, running on the current Windows OS, playable SP or on multiplayer server, with ongoing official/user-made tournaments available.
The best (and only) of its kind
Have fun!

Thanks for the answers. I guess I will play what we have now.

Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun, but I am playing Matthias Corvinus campaign and the first few battles I just absorb the first attack with my wagenburg supported infrantry line and then smash into the enemy with my hevy cavalry from one side. Historically accurate, but it is getting a little boring.

Does higher AI levels acrually improve the opponents tactics or only their troop number/quality?

[Karvon]

Higher AI simply increases size of enemy force. I think at the highest level it also increases the morale grades a little as well. To truly experience the game, you really need to play MP.

I'd call it complete rather than dead. (Though I really would have liked to see East and Southeast Asia included as well.) There are still multiplayer tournaments that get staged periodically if that's your thing, but as far as new offerings I think we're just hoping the studio is working on a next game that will get revealed in the future.

It would have been nice, would have felt more complete.
