Field of Glory Franchise Road Map

Hello, just getting into this great franchise and have bought all the expansions for Field of Glory 2 and recently made the same plunge with FOG2 Medieval during the latest steam sale. I am a sucker for doing things in a chronological order and have made a spreadsheet which takes all the campaigns, epic battles and quick battles and puts them in chronological order... currently have much fun as the Assyrians beating up on their neighbors :)

Was interested in knowing the long term plans for Field of Glory. How close to present day will it get? End of the 19th century? Napoleonic Wars? 7 Years War? What is to come in the next year? The next couple of years? Is there an actual road map or are you just planning things one title at a time? I know the developers can only say so much, but any tidbits would be appreciated so I know what to dream about!

AFAIK the timeline ends around 1500. On the other end there should be another DLC covering the early Biblical armies. I think there is a thread on the forum where the designer answered this question as well. While the DLC do not exactly match up to the books, you can use the tabletop game as a guide. The tabletop version had separate games for the Renaissance and Napoleonic periods, whereas ancients and medieval were combined. I would recommend getting the earlier Pike & Shot title from Slitherine if you are interested in that period or Sendoku Jidai for the far east version.
