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.

Hi everyone,
Is there a MEGA company planned in Version 1.5.x?
Combining the 550BC and 310BC – so the 550BC – 190BC

There is a slight inconvenience of that Alexander guy in the middle of the period.

If this guy, Alexander, is controlled by a script, then he will go east. And we'll go west
There are few states to play for in 550BC, and the land is empty. I started for Rome.
At this time, in the game, Rome is a vassal of the Etruscans. My first game. So I haven't seen that guy, Alexander, yet, and I have all of Italy. In the game is 352BC. And most importantly, a developed economy. Lots of people, iron, money. Army of 100 units. So it's still a question of who's going to cause problems for whom.
But the real problem is that some Marcomani barbarians have heavy infantry units without penalties, but with the "forest people" bonus. So I'm more worried about the barbarians in Western Europe than Alexander.
Mega company 550BC – 190BC should create interesting challenges for the player, right?

Did the game developers run a test – 300 Spartans?
I see that this test will fail in the combat mechanics that are currently implemented.

the 550BC stops just before, and the other starts 10? years after his death, last I asked the developer it wasn't in the cards, but you might create your own mod with him.
