To the devs:
I would like to ask the devs what can be told about what's going on. The fan base has broadly criticized the excessive power of the pirates, and approved the diplomacy aspect, I think the message has been sent enough times already. The sometimes thorny fanbase just wants the game to achieve greatness equally in all of its aspects. Make no mistake, we love your game. The question is:
What is happening?
Is the game considered 'finalized' as is? Are we to expect a new patch? If so, Are we entitled to the simple but efefctive 'when it is ready', or can we get some insight on the probable patch release date? (days? weeks? months? years? femtoseconds?)
Also important, what is to be expected on said patch, if it is being cooked at all?
Thanks
