Roadmap

Aetas is still in development and gets regular updates. This page shows where it is heading. Keep in mind that these are plans, not promises: the order can change, and some of it depends on how many people end up playing. Ideas and wishes are very welcome, see the bottom of this page.

Now#

• Regular updates. Most of what changes comes from playing a lot ourselves and from what players report. You can follow every update in the news.
• The computer opponent. Smarter bases, armies that attack together, allies that help you out, and every difficulty level with its own pace.
• Balance. The six peoples and their units, so that every choice stays worth making.
• What you run into. Bugs and rough edges you report get fixed first. The support page tells you how to report them.

Next#

• New art and animations. Units, buildings and the landscape get a new look, with more animation.
• More polish. A smoother interface and menus, and the small things that make a match feel right.
• New screenshots and a new trailer once the new art is in.

Later, if the game catches on#

These are bigger plans, for when enough people are playing Aetas to make them worthwhile.

• A map and scenario editor, to make your own maps and missions.
• Co-op missions for two to four players together against the computer.
• A ranked queue (matchmaking), as soon as there are enough players to fill one. Until then, ranked works with a tick box when you host.
• Sea and harbours, with fishing boats, if players ask for it.
